Milan, thanks for that - but now I am absolutely and totally confused. The theme I'm thinking about is the last track on Side B of "Jewels of the Sea", as you mention. How did I recognise it? Because I've got the old LP of BLACK SABBATH (the Tony Thomas release, black and white photo of Boris K on the cover, thick white border), and I was pretty sure until now that the track on "Jewels of the Sea" was from that... Wasn't there a mislabeling on some of the old Baxter film score releases? Could my BLACK SABBATH really be BLACK SUNDAY? And why did I believe that the track in question was NOT from BLACK SUNDAY, or MASK OF THE DEMON or whatever you want to call it? Because I have never heard the Baxter score! At least I don't think I have, unless my BLACK SABBATH is BLACK SUNDAY. But I have seen the film (BLACK SUNDAY), however it was the European cut with the original score by Roberto Nicolosi. So what's up here? Now, go back and read all that again. Then try to answer Jim Doherty's question about the Spanish DRACULA. And tell me if Yma Sumac is the soprano voice on Les Baxters' soundtracks.

I think my previous post might be full of rubbish. Everything points to the fact that the "Jewels of the Sea" track is from BLACK SUNDAY. You all told me that anyway. Still don't know how I'd heard it before... Anyone remember the details of the supposed mix-up between the titles BLACK SUNDAY and BLACK SABBATH? Are we talking mislabeled films or soundtracks here?

Bloody hellfire, Milan! So my original "rubbish" post was actually correct? I'd spent 30 years listening to the Tony Thomas LP of what I thought was BLACK SABBATH... and it's actually BLACK SUNDAY??? That explains everything!

So have we hit rock bottom? Anything else? There's a Blu-ray release of the 1956 The Black Sleep (scored by Baxter) with audio commentary by MMM's David Schecter. This is likely not something Onya's looking out for (it's not an album), but should be of interest to Baxter's fans since late-'50s Baxter film music is rarely given exposure.
