Only from Germany on the unmentionable Tsunami label.
I'm aware of that CD but I have heard that FSM may be putting out their own version.

Oh my God! Another rumour thread 
...it would be cool though, especially the original tracks.
OMG, maybe...you know...maybe it's going to be in the Blue Box !

I emailed Screen Archives Entertainment about the CD to see if they had one and he/she said that they were planning to bring one out later in 2008. I was wondering if anyone had heard any news. I, for one, would love to have this soundtrack with the exception of "Old Turkey Buzzard". The instrumental portions are pure Dimitri Tiomkin and Quincy Jones.

I'd delight in a "proper" release of this, a most bizarre score to one of the most bizarre big budget misfire turds of nineteen hundred and what- 69?
The movie was so intriguing in concept. So sloppy in execution. It's fascinating to watch, with enough Jim Barleycorn in tummy and a whiff of something else.

Bull. MACKENNA'S GOLD is a GREAT film.
One of the most unique westerns ever
made. Great cast, superb direction
and photography and a wonderful score
by Quincy Jones.

Hey, I DO like it. But the process photography and rear projection are amatuerish beyond belief for a film this prestigious. Done right, this movie might have been a truly successful presentation. Lines around the block, that sort of thing.

You have, sir. I can't help but laugh my own self.
Trying to find merit from- well, something.

I recently watched the film on the cable. I have a mixed opinion about it. It's entertaining and has a good cast: Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, Telly Savalas, Julie Newmar (as a hot indian woman teasing Peck), ...
But the film-making is unbalanced and very trendy: the director uses old-fashioned processes then switch to superb wide angle lens shots of great outdoors with vivid camera motions (helicopter shots, crane shots) then switch to standard studio sets shots then switch to flashy "hip" effects (see the scene when the team stop by the rock to see the shadow that lead to the canyon: rainbow lighting effects). It's a patchwork of "showy" tricks.
Examples: when MacKenna and the remaining crew arrive at the gold canyon. MacKenna has a sudden flash of consciousness (quick cuts of freeze frames of the cast) and realize he has to leave with the daughter of the judge and climb the high mountain (the down viewpoint of the mountain is a painting).
There is a reviewer at imdb who calls the film: "George Lucas and the Raiders of Mackenna's Gold".

She's such a Peck-teaser!
