Usually in these round-ups I go alphabetically through our inventory. But I want to break the order slightly to spotlight that we have two copies of the magnificent Planet of the Apes box set that La-La Land Records produced. We have a sealed copy for $125, and a used one for $115.
We now live in a world where it seems like there are 13 installments of every franchise (including Apes), but back in the day, this was like the only one—and we devoured them on home video and television (no matter how lame they got) and longed for their unattainable music scores.
This moment in Goldsmith’s original Apes (which unbelievably was not on the original LP release) was so arresting that it made a lot of us into lifelong film music fans, then and there:
La-La Land meticulously restored all five of the original Apes scores and presented them with fantastic packaging, and this box set is a must-own. You won’t find it for less than $165 on eBay at the moment.
Moving on...
We have two copies of the FSM Delerue two-fer, Our Mother’s House/The 25th Hour, $12.
We have the Silva Screen CD of The Outsiders by Carmine Coppola, $25.
I didn’t even know there was an unused score by Ned Rorem to Panic in Needle Park. But we have two copies, on Kritzerland, $12.
There’s a water-damaged copy of the Silva Screen Papillon (Goldsmith) for a buck.
We have the Quartet Passage to India (Jarre) for $30. Also the DRG for $20 and Capitol for $5.
We have a drilled copy of La-La Land’s The Passion of the Christ (Debney) for $45.
Paternity is a charming David Shire score for the 1981 Burt Reynolds comedy.
We have the Intrada CD of Patton (Goldsmith), the best-ever presentation of this classic score, featuring both the film and album performances, $35. A must!
Here’s a rare CD in the “film adjacent” category: a disc of classical works by Paul Glass, on Grammont, $25. And yes, that’s Paul Glass (Lady in a Cage, Bunny Lake Is Missing), not Philip.
We have The Peacemaker by Zimmer on the La-La Land expansion, or an advance promo of the original Dreamworks album. Each is $18.
Perlasca is a Morricone score on Rai Trade, $25.
We have The Philadelphia Experiment by Ken Wannberg, on Prometheus, $15.
We have a couple of editions of The Pick-Up Artist, by Delerue. We have two copies of the Kritzerland CD, which paired it with Rapture, also by Delerue, $18. But the more interesting disc may be the out-of-print Intrada, which combined it with a delightful Richard Rodney Bennett TV movie score, Sherlock Holmes in New York, $15, which starred Roger Moore as Holmes, Patrick Macnee as Watson and John Huston as Moriarty—what a cast!
Here’s a sealed copy of one of John Barry’s last scores, Playing by Heart, for only $5. I got to go to the scoring session of this one, and I remember them recording the finale:
Finally, today, we have a copy of the cast recording of Harry Nilsson’s The Point, on Varèse Sarabande by $25.
Back tomorrow—thanks!
