Teasing the Korean Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) It is so great to finally have the LP content and previously unreleased film score on a single CD! http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=13203 Edited January 3, 2010 by Teasing the Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 It's a wonderful movie; one of my favorites. When it first came out in 68 or 69 (I forget which), I was an usher at the Merrick Cinema in Merrick, NY and must have seen it 40 times. I still watch it whenever I see it on TV and never get tired of it. A very, very good movie, with a great score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I've had the LP for years. It's very good on it's own terms, but there's stuff in the movie that's so much better - the film arrangement of the main title, for example, blows away the LP version. Love the way during the car chase they can never keep up with the Volkswagen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Best car chase ever. When I saw that in the theatre, it was like you were along for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I ordered it recently, but haven't received it yet. It's one of my favourite soundtracks. I already have the Schifrin re-recording from 2000 with the WDR big band. Because it's a limited edition release (3000 copies), I would not wait too long to get it.

Teasing the Korean Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have been listening non-stop, and just for fun, compared it the re-recording done a few years back with the WDR Big Band. They original is the way to go, but Schifrin did a very good job with the re-recording, much better than the Re-do of "Mannix" which doesn't come close to matching the sound or vibe of the original LP.
