Show us your soundtracks!

Found a couple of CD soundtracks I picked up a few years back...


This is Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein..

[erik1925]

Nice, Paul..

And from the Bratislava and Moscow symphonies, no less.

Any updates on your photobucket account restoration, Paul?  Why did you dump it in the first place? Was it a glitch? Or some other issue?

I use them to this day... and without any issues (knock on wood).  

[paul waines]

Not yet Jeff.

The problem was every time I went on it froze, I couldn't change pages or scan down. I kept having to log out and back in again, it wouldn't up load photos, it went on for a few months at which point I'd had enough.

This gets worse.. I went onto Picasa, which was working fine until Yvonne joined us up to google+ or chrome, and that site wouldn't recognise my computers code, and now I can't get on there either, such a chew. So I now am back on the Bucket, which is going fine for the moment..

[paul waines]

Well I opened my mouth too soon, I went to post on T's Halloween thread and can't get on the bucket....It maybe an up date they are doing, as I can't get on it on my laptop either.......Bloody computers.

[erik1925]

It's most curious about your 'bucket troubles,' Paul. Sorry to hear that. I just went onto the site and it opened immediately and with no issue.

Your ordeal is crazymaking, to say the least. 

[paul waines]

And oddly it's working fine for me again...

[Mirosae]

Never access it on my computer. It crashes all the time.

It is flawless on my phone.

[paul waines]

You have some phone there Rosa, is it government issue...

[Mirosae]

Haha...yes...addictive phones we have Paul

This arrived today and I'm stoked about it.

To me, the film score, done by film music maestro, Henry Mancini, for Mommie Dearest (1981), is one of his finest, and may not be as well known, simply because the movie devolved, over the decades, into the "camp" genre.

But from the time I first saw the film, in the 1980s, the haunting score grabbed me and I truly love the score's themes and overall orchestration.

The score was never released, until La La Land Records remastered and released it, in 2012, with a limited run of only 2000 copies. I had no idea it had been released back then. By the time I looked it up online recently, it was listed for anywhere from $48.00-208.00 for a copy!   

A few weeks ago, I hunted around and found a seller that was offering an unopened copy for $15.50. I went for it.

Needless to say, I'm happy to have gotten a copy of the score, after all these years.

Congratulations Jeff. Is it a cd or record?

[Neo]

Congrats, Jeff.  2000 copies and it's still scarce to find a good deal, eh?  Must be in pretty high demand.

[erik1925]

It's a CD, Steve.  

And 2000 copies offered in the 2012... I guess there mightn't be that many copies around, new and unopened, Brandon.

No idea, tho, for sure.

But collectible price aside, I'm just happy to have the music.

Great film, Jeff.
