Here's a suggestion from one who bought this set and really likes Kaper's score for BUTTERFIELD 8. If you're thinking that maybe it's impotant for you to see the film and hear the score in context:
Don't!
I did, and now the film is coloring my appreciation of the score. I'm sure I'll get over that, as my memory of the film fades back into the dim dark past, but this clearly is (yet another) case of a score gracing a film far more than it deserves. They should storm Liz Taylor's mansion, wrestle that Oscar away from her and deliver it to Bronislau Kaper's family...
funny, this thread inspired me to check out the film from the public liberry.
ru sayin' i should return it b4 i watch it?

15 years ago, I dared only DREAM that we'd one day get the complete "Mutiny on the Bounty."
The biggest joy I've experienced through FSM (and there have been MANY joys) is the way this label has embraced the works of Bronislau Kaper!
Always vastly underrepresented on LP, we have seen his discography grow and grow. Each title is distinctive and wonderful.
And now we get "Vol. 1!!!!!!!" of Kaper at MGM. I can barely catch my breath!
Thank you, FSM!

Why is the U in BUtterfield capitalized?

Those of you who love The Great American Songbook tunes should give a listen to the BUtterfield 8 cut number 4, the part called "Augie’s No. 1".
It's a secondary tune in this picture, but just blew me away when I heard it the first time. It's a great melody in the "Songbook" tradition, in a swell arrangement, and deserving of lyrics!
For those who don't have the cd, you'll hear just a smidge of it after :50 in the sound samples.

I love Clifton Fadiman for writing, in 1935, this very pithy summary of the novel BUTTERFIELD 8:
"The story concerns a high-grade nymph named Gloria Wandrous... [who] devotes herself to rye, despair and venery in about equal proportions."

Looks like Kaper Vol. 2, as well as any other possible MGM track releases, are causes only for daydreaming now...
Too bad.
At least we got lots of wonderful scores before they stopped flowing.
