"I will indeed contact the University of Illinois to see if any documentation exists on this recording. Thanks for the suggestion.
My best to you,
Jim"
Shucks, it was the least I could do for the guy who brought this rare music back into our Skinner-starved lives. Happy hunting at the University! Who knows where this might lead...?

Thanks, Irishman --
I'd add, (among many others too numerous to mention), HARVEY. I'm surprised you didn't include THE FIGHTING O'FLYNN, since you've adopted for your FSM monicker the fictitious name Skinner gave it, presumably for legal/copyright reasons, when he used it as an exemplar in his book about film-scoring.

Haha, very well-spotted indeed! I own the book, but unfortunately never had the chance of seeing the film.
I think being the subject of a whole book written by the composer himself makes this film quite unique in history. Sadly, there does not seem to be any DVD.
I just discovered this rarity, even though no music is contained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pnA3fRoNGE

Fascinating. I never knew, but shouldn't be surprised, that movies were promoting themselves with those pseudo, Music Minus One-type "interviews" as far back as that. (I have a 1968 disc similarly touting FINIAN'S RAINBOW, with Astaire, Clark and Steele.)
I haven't been able to see THE FIGHTING O'FLYNN since I was a kid, not even on TCM, which has only shown THE EXILE (another Universal Doug, Jr. swashbuckler) once, unless i'm mistaken. Would love to see (and hear) O'FLYNN again.
