A few Goldsmith western-related updates from The Goldsmith Odyssey...
First, and most importantly if anyone was unaware, Intrada Records is running a Kickstarter campaign to re-record Jerry Goldsmith's very first western score (and very first feature film score), BLACK PATCH! It's been reconstructed by Leigh Phillips, and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is recording this October under the baton of conductor William Stromberg! Paired with another lost Goldsmith score, THE MAN, it is now more than $3,000 over its goal with only 52 hours remaining to pledge $30 (which includes shipping cost) and get an early copy of the album...

For those interested, we at The Goldsmith Odyssey did a funny little sequel to our "Vote Goldsmith for Kickstarter" PSA from three years ago:

Jerry's sole cue written for FLAMING STAR (1960) has been released on CD by La-La Land Records on their Jerry Goldsmith at 20th Vol. 3:

Interestingly this is NOT the version of the cue on the Twilight Time iso score track which we previously covered on the podcast during our Have Gun - Will Travel episode! Apparently that version featured a truncated film ending which I guess Jerry was not involved with, so this CD version premieres his original composition which is 20+ seconds longer. And it's excellent! We discuss it (and play the unique ending) on our Soundtrack Spotlight episode here:

Intrada revisited their 1989 London Symphony Orchestra re-recording of Rio Conchos, and we also did a lengthier Spotlight episode with Doug Fake of Intrada sharing his memories of working with Jerry on the project, and outlining the little tweaks made for this new edition:

We also did Spotlights for new, slightly expanded (and now complete) editions of a modern day western and one that I liked to call an "honorary western" due to the latin elements of the score:

Hope folks enjoy these -- please feel free to let me know what you think!

Interesting that Goldsmith's middle name was King and he would compose one cue for "Flaming Star" starring the other "King" (Elvis Presley).

1966 - THE LEGEND OF JESSE JAMES (one episode -- sadly I haven't been able to find it anywhere)
S1E26 "Things Just Don't Happen"
Update on this: my intel had been incorrect that this was the episode of the series scored by Goldsmith. A friend of mine viewed the episode at UCLA a few months ago and confirmed it was scored by Alexander Courage instead.
And just today, Jon Burlingame kindly informed me that, based on music editor Len Engel's logs, the correct episode scored by Goldsmith was "The Man Who Was", which aired 12/13/1965. The episode exists in the UCLA Film and Television Archive for anyone interested to view it:

Here's hoping the score can turn up in the Fox archives, and be included on a future Goldsmith at 20th volume from La-La Land...
