The Jerry Goldsmith Companion Digital editions are now available to backers! I must admit I will prefer holding and reading the actual books when they are printed but this is wonderful to finally get to read Jeff Bond’s epic two volume journey through the maestro’s career.

Leigh Phillips proposed new Goldsmith Project. Vote on the one you would like to see.

Leigh Phillips has emailed all backers with download links for the final GFE scores - My Dark Days and The Committee Man. The download also includes the earlier released Autumn Love CBS library music. A wonderful finale to Leigh’s amazing series. Incredible to own these scores and be listening to Goldsmith history. Thank you Leigh and to the wonderful musicians who brought this music to life.

Leigh Phillips has now released his final General Electric JG scores. Kickstarter backers should have the email with download links.

Leigh Phillips has released his beautiful recording of the rare JG CBS music library piece to backers of the Kickstarter on the occasion of JG’s birth date. The score works beautifully as a suite. Thank you Leigh!

Another Inchon release from Intrada! Improved source! Who will go for this again? I probably will. I can’t help myself.

Coming 2/13.

Intrada FB message from Roger….


Why is Intrada releasing INCHON again?
Intrada has visited Inchon several times since they initially released their first expanded version back in 1988 and each release has sold out owing to the score’s popularity with Goldsmith aficionados. Each release also has its own anomalies, owing to the oft-discussed less-than-ideal recording circumstances that took place in Italy as well as a number of disparate session master elements. Intrada had access to voluminous rolls of tape, including the 1” 8-track masters, which themselves were folded down from the 2” 16-track tapes, numerous ½” 3-track dubdown masters which contained the mixes made for stereo prints of the picture and the ¼” 2-track stereo print masters, which were primarily identified as “safeties” by session engineer Len Engel. We also had both rolls of the original Regency ¼” album masters that included all of the edits that Goldsmith and Engel had out together for the 1982 LP. So that all adds up to a lot of tape!
But each of those formats had audio issues that were compensated for by various means such as the DBX noise-reduction system championed by Inchon’s original recording engineer Engel back in the day, the Aphex Aural Exciter processing unit which he also utilized, and an artificial boosting of the high end to deal with issues on the multi-tracks that likely dated all the way back to the initial 1982 recording sessions and subsequent “dubdowns” made by Engel for the film soundtrack and subsequent record album.
All of our previous releases of Inchon have been assembled and mastered from the various multi-track formats. We have worked with both Goldsmith and Engel’s initial expanded elements that were approved for Intrada’s first release of the score by the composer as well as subsequent remixes for later reissues in which we dropped the Aphex Aural Exciter processing that seemed to create audio issues of its own. The only thing we did not work with were the ¼” stereo safeties, making the same assumption that Goldsmith and Engel had determined: everything in the massive chain of tapes ahead of the safeties would be superior.
But we were wrong. These ¼” mixes were leagues ahead of all the other elements we had gone through. So in all fairness to those two artists who had originally composed, conducted and engineered this powerhouse score, we simply had to go back to square one and reassemble and remaster our last 3-CD release, this time using those ¼” elements and allowing their work to sound better than it ever did before.

I’ve seen a number of public performances on You Tube featuring music from The Wind and the Lion and am always amazed how well it sounds. This epic presentation is another great achievement. There is other music featured later on but for the most part Goldsmith’s Wind and the Lion dominates.

The hunt for Jerry Goldsmith’s children record. I missed the discussion on this last year on the FSM forum and the recently unearthed info on JG’s earliest days. Ryan Paquet discovered some very interesting information. Very well done Ryan!

Also, I read this reference to the Darwin Theory production 1949 here with a few references to JG. Although I assume Jarred should read Jerrald.

Shocking and sad to hear Mike Ross-Trevor passed away. People had only recently sent birthday wishes in late December. Was not aware he was unwell. So very sad. Mike contributed to many great Jerry Goldsmith scores with stunning recordings. You have to say Rambo 2, Medicine Man and The Mummy were highlights. Absolutely brilliant. Amazing detail.
