Between 1993 and 1995 British newsagents here and there stocked a magazine called Movie Collector. It covered film history and video releases etc but also had quite a decent coverage of soundtracks. The editor was Trevor Willsmer and contributors included David Stoner, Philip and Martin Masheter and various others. Issue 1 came with a cover-mounted cassette, 'Movie Collector Magazine's Top Scores'. I've just logged the details of that cassette onto Discogs (https://www.discogs.com/release/13494992).
As an example of the soundtrack coverage, Issue 1 had a page of 'soundtrack news', a 4-page feature on Patrick Doyle, 2½ pages talking to John Scott about 'Anthony and Cleopatra', 2½ pages talking to Craig Safan about 'Son of the Morning Star', and 5 pages of reviews.
Oh, and 58 Dean Street Records always had an advert in.

Anybody remember this publication?

I think its the same mag -maybe im getting mixed up - but i had one which was a violent film special with a spread on Wild Bunch (with bonnie n clyde on the front)
Lots of lovely colour pics!

Or if not that, there was a magazine series about that time that had a pullout 2 page poster in centre spread such as Steve mcqueen, and poster from cool hand luke etc.

Yep, I remember it...and buying it.
They're probably in a box in the loft with countless other movie & music mags.
I deffo got the first one with the free music cassette.
I'll have to dig them out and see how many I bought.
I miss magazines frown

Weren't Phillip & Martin Masheter the 58 Dean St owners?

I'd forgotten that, but - yes, they were.

Think I've got all issues - AFAIK it only ran to vol 2, no. 2.
