DR. LEAKEY AND THE DAWN OF MAN, paired with Ernest Gold.
Get this, folks.
Graham Watt refuses to buy this Intrada disc because Ernest Gold music is on it.
Mr. Watt wants 100% Rosenman - or no Rosenman at all.

Zardoz... Please... You're putting words into my mouth. What I really said was, "I refuse to buy this Intrada disc because Ernest Gold music is on it. I want 100% Rosenman - or no Rosenman at all".
I know I'm weird, but within filmscore geekdom I don't think I'm outrageously weird. Whatever - if I yam I yam.
As a Rosenman fan (and a Fielding nutcase/nutmeg), I own absolutely none of the above-mentioned CDs. Why?
LAST VIKINGS/ DR LEAKEY - A bit put off by the presence of the maybe-not-to-my-liking Ernie one.
HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT/ TELEFON - HIDE's pretty short, and TELEFON didn't rate too highly on my Lalometer when I saw it on the telly forty years ago.
THE LAST HARD MEN - Tempted by this, but I had most of the Goldsmith tracks before, in their original incarnations.
HELL IS FOR HEROES/ ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ - Tempted by both, but the Jerry F still doesn't quite strike me as being a great enough listen.
Others from other pairings which I've passed on are the great SECONDS (JG masterpiece) coupled with IQ. Also his SEVEN DAYS IN MAY (great) coupled with Maurice Jarre's abominable THE MACKINTOSH MAN. As a poser, I just don't like the aesthetics of having a good score with an unrelated duff one. So you say, "Hey man, just listen to the one you like"! I could, but it would bother me to even see the offending/ offensive partner. I may be completely daft, but that's me.
Oh, I actually forgot another important factor - price. I'm sure that in my recent fantasy (no, it happened) when somebody offered me to choose for free between LAST VIKINGS/ DR LEAKEY and Mischa Spoliansky's SAINT JOAN, I'd have gone for the Gold/ Rosenman combo. But normally these things are quite expensive, and mony a mickle maks a muckle, as I was brought up to recite wrongly.
Strange bed partners which I do actually have, and like, are -
BATTLE/ CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - The Tom Scott isn't as great as the Rosenman, but at least it's part of the bastarding family.
ZIGZAG/ THE SUPER COPS - Absolutely great Ollie Nelson score (LP prog plus original soundtrack, both wonderful) plus fun Jerry Fielding score.
DEMON SEED/ SOYLENT GREEN - Got it mostly for the Fielding, but the Myrow is pretty damn great too, and they at least share a futuristic concept.
But in general I'm still thankfully weird. Thank you and goodnight.
