This is a wonderful release. I applaud Music Box Records and I hope it is a big seller for them. For the future I would love to see new releases of I'll Never Forget What'shisname, Toute Une Vie, and maybe Hannibal Brooks too? Fingers crossed!

I wouldn't mind I'll Never Forget What'shisname, Hello Goodbye, The Games, Madly, and Les Hommes Libres as clean CD versions since they are quite good, but the LPs will do for now. I also quite like the Toute Une Vie double LP as a concept album.

Personally I'd love to hear Mon amour, mon amour (1967), Les hommes (1973), and Par le sang des autres (1974), even though I suspect the full soundtracks are all quite short.

Great release. Who would have thought three fantastic scores by the Great Francis Lai from the magical Sixties would make an appearance. Haven't seen BERLIN AFFAIR for years and years.

As already mentioned I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT'S IS NAME not in the set. The LP was released by Brunswick here in UK and Decca in the States so I wouldn't have thought that was a major problem.

I suspect the Original LP was the Original Soundtrack not a recording but I don't know for sure.
The Great Howard Blake was responsible for some of the arrangements of pop tracks

Still who knows, maybe next. Francis Lai has had a great career, but the Sixties were really something special

Bring it on!!

The released album of Hannibal Brooks is in the FSM MGM Treasury Box. Nice music (well, it is Lai), but if you didn't know, you'd never guess it was for a war movie, a film about fashion designers maybe, Lai didn't go in for the martial stuff, & I suppose at heart the film is a love story...between man & Elephant.

Could it be that the master tapes are lost for some of these LPs mentionned above? The LP is loud, easy to find, and my rip sounds near perfect, so I'd be most interested if the release is from the master tapes. Worst would be some of those LP soundtrack re-issues (I don't need a new LP!!).

Yes, I found rips of both, I'll Never Forget What's 'is Name & Hello-Goodbye on Youtube, & they don't sound too bad, both are now on my ipod. I'm sure a lot of LP masters are long gone (all sorts of music), but I hope these two are stored safely at UMG, & maybe a CD release some day (before CDs are history).

I'd prefer someone issue the single LP of TOUTE UNE VIE which has the music without that annoying dialog.

It was issued on Dart Records.

Order placed at 09:21 ...
Notice of shipping issued at 09:31 ...

I don't know these three scores though the theme from Three Into Two Won't Go (1969) was one of the first film themes I recorded from the radio when I had my first cassette recorder/player ... probably 1971 or 72.

I bought the 7CD Anthology set last year which has some very good works and I have fond memories of other Francis Lai scores I used to own on vinyl. Some of his music is a little to pop-orientated for my taste but when he creates one of those marvellous melodies ... I'm sold smile

Unreleased scores by Francis Lai on CD are always a great joy! Hope people will enjoy this double set!

Less than 190 copies remaining!

Still showing as a pre-order on USA store sites (meaning "where's my copy??")

All of these just before he exploded all over American radio with LOVE STORY. An interesting time for him, probably.

I enjoyed BERLIN AFFAIR the most, and not because it's the only movie of the three I've seen (I didnt even care for the movie). Has a nice 1970s Universal TV style. Did Lai emulate or add to it, I wonder.

Watched "House of Cards" last night, very entertaining (shades of Hitchcock and James Bond), and appreciated the score more. Hopefully fans of the composer or these scores will get a copy before it goes oop.
