Re: Joanna has been released on DVD/Bluray
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joanna-BFI-Flipside-DVD-Blu-ray/dp/B004LNSFL8/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1379207129&sr=1-1&keywords=joanna
I almost jumped out of my chair when I read what you wrote!!! I immediately went to the link -- Amazon in Britain? -- and will, of course, buy it, although I'm not sure about the compatibility with American players. But available in Blu-ray??? I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
I'm back ... I went to my American Amazon where it was, with shipping, about $65, more than $70 with tax in my state, far far more than it's going for in the UK. But apparently it is Region 2, which is incompatible with American players. Darn!!!
And now I'm back again. I went to cnet.com to search for all region Blu-ray players, and they had several links, including www.world-import.com/Region-Free-Sale and others, and I was surprised that most of them had features I need, like Netflix and U.S.TV compatibility, so maybe that'll be my next move ... not just for "Joanna," but it IS a factor!

Soundtrack Collector has some misinformation regarding the 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. LPs of THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE. The site has a track listing for the Fox LP that shows 12 tracks running 33:45. There is no track listing for two Warner Bros. LPs. There is also a British soundtrack release on the EMI Stateside label, showing 19 tracks with no timings.
The fact of the matter is that the U.S. Fox LP has the same 19 tracks as the British EMI Stateside LP. Those 19 tracks run 42:47. The 12-tracks erroneously listed for the Fox LP actually are the tracks on one of the Warner Bros. LPs. As near as I can sort out the various LP versions, they are as follows:
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Words and Music by Rod McKuen
Arranged and Conducted by Arthur Greenslade
Recorded at Olympic Studios, London, November 1968
20th Century Fox Records, S4207
19 Tracks, 42:47
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
(Same as Fox LP)
EMI Stateside Records, SSL 10278
19 Tracks 42:47
Original Motion Picture Score
Words and Music by Rod McKuen
The Cinema Sound Stage Orchestra, conducted by Eddie Karam
Warner Bros. - Seven Arts Records, WS-1787
15 Tracks, Timing unknown
Original Score Composed and Conducted by Rod McKuen
Stanyan / Warner Bros. Records, WS-1853
12 Tracks, 33:45
So, it appears as if there are three performances of the score, by three different conductors. The fact that the original tracks were recorded at the now defunct Olympic Studios in London does not bode well for their preservation.

I just edited something I had posted on page 2 of this thread, that I had been wrong that my CD of the "Joanna" soundtrack WASN'T a Japanese import -- I hadn't looked at the 16-page booklet that comes with it in years and had forgotten that more than half of the text appears to be in Japanese. I want to thank Peter Greenhill for all his great postings on this subject ... and others!!!!!!

Re: The trailer for "Brodie"
Bob: Oh, thank you SO much for that! How delightful! I've long had the movie on DVD, but haven't played it in years, so it was such a pleasure watching that! Although we don't see her in the trailer, it made me think of Jane Connell, I think, who played Mary McGregor, the idealistic moth chasing the flame. It made me think of "Love And Pain And The Whole Damn Thing" starring Maggie Smith and Timothy Bottoms -- which is probably my favorite Maggie Smith film. Again, thanks for this great trailer for "Brodie" -- it made me want to put the movie on NOW! Jane C had a very memorable role in Hal Prince's film "Something For Everyone" starring Angela Lansbury and Michael York, which, a crime, has YET to be released on DVD! (Broke down and bought it on VHS a couple of years ago!)

With the sad news of Rod McKeun's passing today, I've bumped this thread about the lack of a CD of Rod's Jean Brodie score. Would make an appropriate tribute to a great composer, poet and performer.

Thanks for that info Bob. Let's hope the album is released soon. The movie has plenty of fans as does Rod McKeun.
