Don't forget Harold & Maude by zoothorn21	Jan 13th, 2009 10:23:36 AM
Absolutely beautiful re-issue, overseen by Cameron Crowe.
Intrada in 2009 FTW! by Admiral Nelson	Jan 13th, 2009 10:42:35 AM
Intrada (www.intrada.com) has been making tremendous inroads into studios that had previously not wanted to license their film scores to outside labels. (These studios include Universal and Disney.) Rumor has it that there are more "holy grail" soundtrack CD releases coming this year from Intrada, so stay tuned.
Batman: The Animated Series from La-La by NinjaRap	Jan 13th, 2009 10:43:12 AM
That was the release of the year for me in 2008.
Hey Where are the white women at? by Six Demon Bag	Jan 13th, 2009 11:00:07 AM
Yes, Blazing Saddles!!!
Buffy: The Score also released in 2008 by WatertownSurfer	Jan 13th, 2009 11:01:29 AM
Containing music from a majority of the 7 seasons previously unavailable.
My 2009 Soundtrack Re-Issue Wish by Geekgasm	Jan 13th, 2009 11:04:13 AM
John Williams' complete score from the 1979 version of Dracula. That would be really cool.
Best Score! by laraz	Jan 13th, 2009 11:33:56 AM
The Shinning should be released as a soundtrack! Yet never was, what a fucking shame this is!
You... do know that La-La also released BTAS vol. I? by Stalin vs Predator	Jan 13th, 2009 11:58:12 AM
I believe it was in 2008, although most sales may have been in 2009. Still, the date makes it the previously unreleased score of the year. (Even though I already had 90% of the music on those two CDs, from "other" sources.)
So where is the score for Real Genius ??? by ChocolateJesusMan	Jan 13th, 2009 12:05:28 PM

Masters of the Universe by kuldan	Jan 13th, 2009 12:12:02 PM
I used to LOVE the music from that movie. Kinda cheesy now, but still nostalgic, much like Goldsmith's "King Solomon's Mines" score...cheesy, but fun as hell and memorable.
They Live by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 13th, 2009 12:13:16 PM
I didn't even know it had been released! Off to track it down now...
What about 'Sunshine'? by spooky2k	Jan 13th, 2009 12:19:48 PM
I know that it isn't really an old film, but it had a great score and was finally released after a long long wait.
Is "What;s Eating Gilbert Grape" ever going to be released? by WickedJacob	Jan 13th, 2009 12:40:50 PM
That's what's eating me! I'm probably the only one who cares, but that movie had great music.
I can't believe The Shining hasn't been rereleased on CD by ufoclub1977	Jan 13th, 2009 12:50:02 PM
I found the original LP soundtrack at a mall in 1983, and played the hell out of it. Still have it. This thing would sell if re-released on CD! The bootleg Shining soundtrack has some subpar versions of some of the compositions... in particular, The Awakening of Jacob is lame on the bootleg.
The shining by SOHOMEMADEITHURTS	Jan 13th, 2009 01:11:08 PM
The shining was "kinda" re-released, well lots of the Wendy Carlos bits were... on his/her "Rediscovering lost scores"... with bits from clockwork orange and stuff... even some tron. Great CDs, but it's not a shining OST... that would be fucking GREAT!!!! BRING IT!!
Still waiting for a decent "Sunshine" release... by Fah-Cue	Jan 13th, 2009 01:29:31 PM
Not the one on that goddamned iTunes. "Sunshine"'s score is the fan-fucking-tastic!
Woah. Wendy was a Walter. by eggart	Jan 13th, 2009 01:30:25 PM
That's good Tron trivia.
What about the Goonies ? by Gouchi	Jan 13th, 2009 01:49:41 PM
Hi, The Goonies Are Good Enough to Have a Score ;-) Please have a look : http://gooniesnvrsaydie.google pages.com Best regards,
The Shining by ufoclub1977	Jan 13th, 2009 02:55:00 PM
yes, I know the synth stuff can be found by tracking down the walter/wendy carlos stuff, but I want the orchestral stuff (Lygeti, bartok, Penderecki) that was used in the film. What's funny is that some of those Shining cues are also found on the Japanese Exorcist soundtrack cd since they share the same composers and compositions in a few instances
Others by ScoreKeeper	Jan 13th, 2009 03:23:07 PM
Ya, there are lots of other great releases from last year that I didn't mention. BUFFY: THE SCORE was a welcome addition as was the new recording of the complete EL CID by Miklós Rózsa released by Tadlow Music. And for everyone mentioning BATMAN: TAS...yes, I've devoted an entire article to it alone which should be online tomorrow.
I's estimate that roughly 80% of all my 2008 soundtrack purchase by Nasty In The Pasty	Jan 13th, 2009 03:44:17 PM
...were from movies and TV shows released prior to 2008. Why listen to the paralyzingly boring The Dark Knight score when I can FINALLY cue up Shirley Walker's superb Batman: TAS music? Last year was an embarassment of riches (too many riches, in fact...hardly a week went by without at LEAST one limited edition soundtrack release, meaning I've had to pass up some now sold-out titles). It's a great time to be alive for a soundtrack geek.
@Fah-Cue by spooky2k	Jan 13th, 2009 04:10:29 PM
...there are plenty of places to get the full Sunshine score, but the one on iTunes is the official release.
Equilibrium by TiNSeLToWN TeRRoR	Jan 13th, 2009 07:04:33 PM
They need to make an Official Release for that amazing score!!!
Creator by dumbpeoplesuck	Jan 13th, 2009 08:25:47 PM
Sure, it was pretty campy here and there, but had lots of heart and spirit...the score...I'll never know why they never released the score. I'm hoping it will get the proper treatment AFTER Peter O'Toole leaves the planet.
"Previously unreleased"? Nope. by Lorquaine	Jan 13th, 2009 10:11:45 PM
Some scores on this list have been on my shelf for many years now, e.g. Meteor. (And I'm not talking bootlegs.) Apropos Rosenthal: They should re-release "The Miracle Worker".
Willard by Jodet	Jan 13th, 2009 11:00:25 PM
The one with Crispin Glover...wonderful music. Six accordians, as I recall. Never heard anything like it.
My favorite... by NNNOOO!!!	Jan 13th, 2009 11:08:35 PM
...this year was FSM's disc of "Green Mansions". You can tell it was a big influence on John Williams for "Raiders". I wasn't aware that "How To Murder Your Wife" was out. I'll have to hunt that down.
what about Clint Eastwood's FIREFOX???!! by porkinz the x-wing instructor	Jan 14th, 2009 12:00:19 AM
That is a great score!!
