DICK TRACY was a "comic STRIP" not a "comic book." So, maybe not that one.

I kind of "grew out of" liking THE BLUE LAGOON for a reason I can't quite put my finger on. I loved the LP when it first came out, but now I hear it (when I hear it) as sort of... overly sentimental. Maybe it's just that I've turned into a crusty old cynic. Or perhaps Elmer Bernstein is to blame, with his straight, dramatic approach to comedy, or Ira Newborn for a similar reason. Whatever, when I hear Basil Poledouris' music, it conjures up a picture in my mind of an athletic young man looking out to sea, his back to the camera, and with long blond hair flowing down. Then he turns to the camera, we cut to a close-up... and it's Leslie Nielson's face.

I love this post, Graham. Very funny.
I don't have any experience of this film or score (there was no way in hell I was ever gonna see it when it first came out, and the scenes I've seen over the years seem laughable). But I'm listening to the original album on youtube and finding the music far more varied than I expected. Curiously it feels less sentimental than I expected. To me, it sounds like an 80's soap opera with some action/adventure thrown in. I might just pick this up.

From Doug's Corner on the Intrada website:
This time around, for our latest CDs, we’re offering two releases, both of which are terrific scores written by master composers when their careers were still on the rise. Both are also newly restored editions of classic albums with previously unreleased music. One runs about 62 minutes and fits on a single disc, the other runs over 100 minutes and requires two discs. This time around, film studios represented include Sony and Disney. That’s as far as my thinking goes. Further - and most likely better - clues are up to Roger. In any case, cover art, tracks and sound samples will be posted on our site this coming Monday eve, November 14. Orders for both titles will begin shipping on Tuesday the 15th.
The Blue Lagoon and Dick Tracy it is.

The original CD was 34:50, which means we're getting over an hour of new material!

There was a good deal of dropped score from DT, as I recall, and Danny had to re-do a number of cues. The new release should be a revelation.
