Pursuit, Crawlspace and The People Next Door Kickstarter Now Out!

Leigh Philips' stunning production of 3 rare and lost Jerry Goldsmith works are now out on Digital to Kickstarter supporters with the CD version due soon from Intrada. The stunning new recordings performed by the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Adam Klemens, allow fans to hear three seventies TV scores in digital stereo for the first time. As well as a bonus track teasing a new Kickstarter later in the year.

Jerry Goldsmith found himself scoring quite a bit of TV during the early 70s, for no obvious reasons. However, he applied the same gold standard to his work as he did for a theatrical film, showcased here with two well made TV films and one TV drama. Pursuit; a thriller from Michael Crichton involving a race against time to prevent a mad man unleashing a deadly toxin at a political convention, a drama/chiller about a young man who lives in the Crawlspace of an elderly couple's home and their tragic attempts to help him change his life and a poignant drama set around a family's struggle with their daughter's drug addiction.

The Chairman - New Kickstarter To Record The Complete Score Now Live!

Intrada announce the Kickstarter for a recording of The Chairman score with The Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Fans have long hoped that this beautiful and exotic Goldsmith score would be accurately recorded as hopes of the original tapes and even the original album master being discovered have faded over many years. The album remains only available on the original LP in the second hand market and later CDs from Silva Screen and Prometheus both used an LP as their source. Varese included a portion of the score from clean mono tapes on their Goldsmith At Fox Box set. That suite included one short extra cue for the busy Market sequence, not featured on the album.

The Kickstarter also includes some exciting stretch goals that add the unused end titles of Rambo 2, The pivotal orchestral action cue from Under Fire, A finale cue from Lilies of The Field and the film version of the finale cue from Not Without My Daughter.
