Quote from arthurarnell

Hi Jim and Mike

The one illustrated is the same as the one have. its interesting reading the various comments particularly about the singing. All in all though I think this is a very good CD.
On a par with the Searchers How The West Was Won and Red River I would go for How The West Was Won Red River and The Searchers.

If I were to expand two very good CD's that would stand with the other three are The films of Elmer Bernstein Volume 1 The Comancheros and True Grit, and Volume 2 The Shootist, Big Jake, Cahill United States Marshall.

Having played Stagecoach and Fort Apache I wasn't particularly impressed with Stagecoach reasonably happy with Fort Apache. Perhaps I expected more.

Hi Arthur

Those soundtracks were the first two I bought as LPs I think from DL Cutts and being the first soundtrack records I had I thought they were great

Funny thing when I bought them as CDs I expected to get beter reproduction but thought they sound a little dull particularly on Shootist and Cahill so much so that I now prefer other options

True Grit, Commancheros and Big Jake I have as complete OST and I prefer the Shootist and Cahill selections on new True Grit CD.

It proberably because they are new selections and are digital and I dont pump the volume like I have to on the Elmer Bernstein CDs.


Mike

Thank Chester

I have the Red River CD. Different cover from one shown. I wasnt sure about it the first time I listened to CD but I grew to love it. Fascinating to see the variations of theme.

Hi Arthur

It is not a bad CD just need the time and peace to listen to it.

Got my copy of Mr rifle my pony & me. Great CD

Mike

I think some of the titles are getting close to the 3000 mark and will soon be discontinued.

I had a copy of Big Jake that leaves less 300 units left.

Nice that they are having a success but if you are missining titles I would act soon.

Hi wbbison

Ive actually got all those titles but Im sure there will be interest in CDs.

Mike

Hi Wbbison

What are the title?

Best

Mike

Great to hear you got True Grit Bob you will enjoy it.

The other guy from Germany is okay to deal with as well.

I use him rather than buysoundtrax because any CDs arrive with me within a few days as it is coming from Germany rather than USA.

Price wise they are much the same

Best

Mike

The Cowboys by John Williams would be my favourite selection.

Elmer Bernstein True Grit Sons of Katie Elder Mc Q

Max Steiner The Searchers is a classic its own right and Richard Hageman
virtually visualises the Stagecoach story.

Also, worth a mention is Rio Lobo by Jerry Goldsmith

Mike

Hi Colorado Bob

You can get True Grit and Big Jake from Buysoundtrax (USA) and Chris’s Corner (Germany) via Ebay or go directly to their web sites from their ads and buy directly from them if you prefer not to use Ebay.

Hi William and Ethan aka Keith

Ethan is a nice name if I had son I would consider Ethan more likely to be John mind you LOL

Yes, Bernstein Williams and Goldsmith were geniuses whose work is grossly under rated. The late Bernard Hermann who worked on so many Hitchcock movies was also in their class.

The sad thing is modern audiences at the cinema will not see their like again as orchestral arrangements cost studios money and they would rather penny pinch with electronic music or forgettable pop songs.

If somebody asked you to name a film soundtack in the last 20 years you would be hard pushed. The recent Mummy movies are the only ones that come to mind with me and they were composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

At least we have the CDs. It would be great if Chisum was released as an OST CD.

Mike

Thanks Keith

You would be amazed at how many Keiths and Kevins that I know via the internet and work LOL I have an excuse for being confused.

Yes, John Williams is the last of the Great Titans still alive and working. Somehow the music world will not be the same with Hans Zimmer and the like.

Mike

Thanks Ethan

Great link Elmer Bernstein and Jerry Goldsmith would be two of my favourite composers
