THE CHAIRMAN would be my guess.

Bingo. If this new Goldsmith recording is a compilation album, or even if it is a full score that has a little space at the end of a disc, I *really* hope that James will consider tackling that amazing Rambo: First Blood Part II end title. We need to have it in better than old mono cassette sound, as wonderful as that still is.
As for my hopes, well...James said that this was a Tadlow release, not a Prometheus release. He has also previously said that Luc was not interested in funding a recording of Goldsmith's first and third feature scores (both westerns: Black Patch and Face of a Fugitive) but that he himself was more interested, and he even stated that the Academy had the full written scores for these two works, so they would not have to be painstakingly reconstructed by ear as The Salamander and QB VII were. Both scores are around half an hour long and would fit on one CD together. Here is the breakdown / "advance liner notes" I did for Face of a Fugitive (I will tackle Black Patch soon):

Recently I think James posted something a bit cooler to the idea of recording these, but given his original enthusiasm and the fact that the written scores survive, I'm going to cling on to just a little bit of hope. I think these premieres would do well financially, too:
1. They have historical importance, particularly Black Patch, as the first feature score ever composed by the great Jerry Goldsmith (and they do have a lot of evidence of his mature style, even if they're not quite Lonely Are the Brave from a few years later).
2. They are both westerns, a genre of film music which tends to sell really, really well.
3. Neither is written for a large orchestra, so should be comparitively cheaper to record than QB VII (which of course also required a choir).
4. I think since they are shorter scores and can both fit on one disc, that they would attract more sales because people would be more eager to pay $20 for two scores than one, even if it's not more music, length-wise. Just a psychological thing.
Here's hopin'...now watch James shoot it down in a few more posts or so.
