A Summer Story. Gorgeous. Why hasn't this one been reissued? Have no idea how complete the Virgin CD is , but it'd be nice to have it available for folks who have missed it.

And his unused scores for Platoon & Something Wicked This Way Comes.
In my opinion, Delerue never wrote a bad note of music. Everything by him is good or great or a masterpiece.
My top ten:
1. Contempt (hard to top - also the best film he scored) 2. Rapture 3. Exposed 4. L'Africain 5. Jules and Jim 6. Our Mother's House 7. Interlude 8. Her Alibi 9. The Day of the Dolphin 10. Agnes of God
Basically everything else I've heard is tied for eleventh place
The first time I ever heard the music of Georges Delerue was in 1966. I was fourteen years old. The picture was A Man For All Seasons.
Today I am 63 years old, and I am still hoping to have a CD of this music sometime.
I have here in England, purchased new in 1966, a UK pressing of the double-LP on RCA Victor. Its a stage by stage recording of all the major scenes from the film, interspersed with the majesty of Delerue's score.
To assist the listener, there is an LP sized booklet, very similar to the accompanying brochures published in those days.
Indeed. Great score. The Charles Gerhardt recording of the main theme for Reader's Digest (later reissued on the Prince and the Pauper and other film music CD from Varese) is just fantastic.
