Patch of Blue is one of JG's best, compact drama albums - great film helps too.
And, you missed the whole history of screwed up releases, lucky you! The 32min. Intrada is all you need. It's like Bernstein's Mockingbird score, taken down a notch in activity. Terrific theme & variations style work, Patch.
Go forth n buy!!
Oh heck yeah, now it's a no-brainer.

BSX released a terrific recording of the Alan Howarth/John Carpenter cues.
that BSX album is most of/the entire score re-recorded on synthesizer. The Carpenter/Howarth material will sound closer to the movie tracks than the Morriconne, obv.
Don’t waste your time, Adm. This thread’s about Goldsmith now, just run with it.
Ewwps...so, greatly looking forward to checking out the Collector's Edition Blu Ray of the Thing! It must be incredible to hear it in surround. I remember first seeing it in the theaters, me and my little brother practically lived for that movie, and the score had so much to do with that imo.
The score basically defines the term "dread" in music imo. Brilliant.

My belief is all the music Morricone wrote is on the album, about 50 minutes worth from memory. So anything you hear in the film that's also on the album is Morricone. And anything you hear in the film that is not on the album will be Carpenter/Howarth. I don't think it's all that much.
Cheers
Over the years trying to compile the story, that's pretty much exactly what I know.
(An additional side fact: Carpenter's original choice to score the movie was Jerry Goldsmith... in case it was not mentioned so far. ;-) )

I think that fact is what helped me sidetrack this thread earlier (with apologies, folks).
Morricone's output has become more important to me in the past week. I've been watching the Giallo films he wrote music for and really enjoying them...mostly for the music but there's some entertaining stuff there imo.

My Goldsmith ponytail sense is tingling.

Sometimes DVD region releases have something another region release doesn't. That could be the case here.

I know, I know...this thread is for Morricone's The Thing...but if I may join the recommendations for A PATCH OF BLUE. It's in my top 10 of Goldsmith scores and is not to be missed...absolutely beautiful, subtle and perfect for the film. Try to see the film as well, though it's not on bluray. I keep hoping Twilight Time will release it with an iso score track...seems like it would be right up their alley.

What is your source for the information that Goldsmith was Carpenter's first choice and can you evidence it?
I do know for a fact the Morricone is quoted by Carpenter on the back of the Varese HALLOWEEN soundtrack LP as one of the biggest influences on his work along with Bernard Herrmann. I also understand that Carpenter played the theme from ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST at his wedding.
So it would be strange if Morricone was not his first choice for the score once he determined that there was no time to write it himself. Perhaps one of the producers was thinking about Goldsmith?
I am unsure why the poster of this thread could not have taken time a little time to look at some of the (many) previous posts on this score, because they would surely have answered the questions about what music was not composed by EM for this movie.
