I would like to invite one and all to the Film Music Midi Group Facebook page. Our latest endeavor is the complete score to A & C Meet Frankenstein and it is awesome. Maestro Gaetano Malaponti with help from Aleksandar Popovic have done a spectacular job. I know there are people who will snicker and say "oh it's only midi", but if you love this score like me, please check it out. It will cost you nothing. The Film Music Midi Group is a non profit that just wants to get some scores out there that haven't made it yet for one reason or another. So far we have put out the complete scores from James Bernard's Horror of Dracula, Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula Has Risen From the Grave and The Iprcress File. Also various suites and other delights. David Huckvale has kindly contributed JB's original cue sheets. I want to especially thank Ray Faiola for sending us the complete conductor score for A&C Meet Franky! He made our little dream a reality. It's not an orchestra but no one has recorded it yet. Until that happens and I certainly do, this is the next best thing!
Would you mind please providing a link for those among us who have never visited this particular site? (Or should I just go to Youtube or something?) Thanks!

Preston, they are on Facebook and YouTube, it's a bit confusing. I joined them on Facebook.
At YouTube type in: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Midi Reconstruction
Thanks, Peter, I actually went looking there right after posting my plea above. I found many individual videos, one for each cue. You wrote about listening to the whole 45-minute score. Did you listen to it piece-meal, at Youtube, or is there another way to listen somewhere start to finish?

The first one should be the complete score at 43:06 minutes. They show a movie poster.
I'm very happy with it. Of course a Tribute or Tadlow full orchestra would be better but this is all we have. They have done some other Midi (computer orchestra) film scores too. This might be the only way we will ever hear these classic scores.
They are working on FAIR WIND TO JAVA by Victor Young!
