I love this score, but the performance leaves a bit to be desired. It's not awful, but it's ragged in places. Agreed on the "20 miles away" mic placement. It seemed everything recorded at that studio always sounded like the mics were in another hemisphere.
High Spirits was recorded at a time when everyone was going to Europe, as even London was deemed "too expensive".
Elmer Bernstein was frequently recording in Germany (where he did Spies like Us, Marie Ward, and Amazing Grace and Chuck), as was John Scott (for The Deceivers, Man on Fire, Winter People and King Kong Lives) and Maurice Jarre (Enemy Mine and Tai-Pan).
Goldsmith was constantly recording in Budapest (partly at the urging of his pal Andrew Vajna -- a Hungarian) until quitting Budapest in exasperation (opting for Rome and Melbourne for Leviathan and Warlock, respectively). Goldsmith of course also went to Germany for Total Recall, until Paul Verhoeven convinced the producers to move the sessions to London (and thank Heaven for that!).

Hi Paul,
On the back of what you say It would be interesting to know, in league table format, which country/recording studio has recorded the most original movie soundtracks.....now that’s a feat in itself.....ok where’s Google....

Which film industry are you talking about? India might have the lead with Bollywood. But if you take all film into single account, maybe London or Los Angeles

At a guess I'd say the US, with all the Hollywood features, A pictures, B pictures, newsreels, cartoons, etc. going back to the 1930s. And then scoring sessions not only in Hollywood, but also New York (and on rare occasions) other cities.
