Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	I've no idea. But I paid about 30 pounds for the Barbarella LP, and that was twenty-five years ago. I've since seen that its value is about half that price...but I don't much bother about what's "rare" and what isn't. So there!

Gae Oscar® Winner	To be honest, I wouldn't know whats rare and what isn't. I've got loads of scores on LPs which people have mentioned are rare....do LPs count? The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, some early Phase 4/Decca? recordings of Psycho and Vertigo etc etc. I think my rarest score though has to be my LP promo copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" signed by Tiomkin himself.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	I've got some Chapter III albums, too. I guess they're a bit 'rare' already. Logans Run/Coma Last Run/Wild Rovers VIPs El Cid Don't Make Waves/Penelope Where Eagles Dare Dirty Dozen/Dingus Magee I can't believe that some of these titles were only distributed for about six months! Some Intrada hard to finds: Inchon (horrible) Warlock (not much better) Soon to be hard to find from FSM: Omega Man Paper Chase/Poseidon Adventure Towering Inferno

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	I don't really know all the time which of my CDs are truly rare, but I reckon that my original soundtrack CD to the 1976 movie King Kong by John Barry is fairly rare. It is one of Barry's best scores in my opinion regardless of it being rare, but as far as I know the CD was only released in Italy and has been available as an import only anywhere else.

Barry) Bunny Lake is Missing (Paul Glass - I'm sure many of you never heard of this, but it's a wonderful score) The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun (M. Legrand - a French pressing) CDs Wind - (B. Poledouris - Japanese pressing) Is Paris Burning? (M. Jarre - Japanese pressng) The Name of the Rose (James somebody - Spanish pressing) K2 (Zimmer) Regarding Henry (Zimmer) plus the Varese Club releases, and last, but certainly not least, Hour of the Gun - autographed Mark T.

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	Oh, come to think of it, I know that I got a couple of more rare ones: Elmer Bernstein The Magnificent Seven Elmer Benrstein The Great Escape Both with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, both released on BMG. They stayed in the stores only for a couple of months until some never exactly explained legal problems forced BMG to withdraw this release from the stores. I don't know how many copies managed to get out in the open, but it's not a lot. Then I have the original 1986 release of Goldsmith's Legend and also the once ultra expensive ($ 275.-) Japanese release of Under Fire. Gotta go offline now. Perhaps I can think of some more. I need to go through my collection and take a look. [Message edited by Nicolai P. Zwar on 11-19-2001]

SBD Oscar® Winner	Whoops. I almost forgot: Elmer Bernstein by Elmer Bernstein (This is a compilation released by Denon Records in 1993. It was a bunch of suites from classic Bernstein scores conducted by the man himself and performed by the RPO Pops. A well-constructed album that, IMPO, is sadly missing an "Animal House" suite; I know that Bernstein detests that type-cast phase of his career, but it's one of his all-time best scores, IMO. It's currently being sold through Bernstein's site, making it not very rare, but it was when I bought it. And yes, that is the actual title.) Tenchi Muyo Music Edition Vol. 1 (Seikou Nagaoka + songs; it's pretty rare here in the States.)

I don't know how many copies managed to get out in the open, but it's not a lot. The Great Escape Hi there, I had also been searching in vain to get this Bernstein re-recording of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (RCAVICTOR). Apparently as I undertsand, the cd was recalled from the stores due legalities and issues over the cover pictures. I was very lucky to finaly get a copy off Ebay.com last month. I love this performance and its beats the heck out of the version which was recorded by James Sedares on Koch Label. By the way, those still interested in getting this version, I reccomend on getting a copy right off Amazon.com which just recently got a few copies back in stock! best Amer Zahid P.S. Another album long OOP THE EPIC FILM SCORES OF MAURICE JARRE: THE MESSAGE/LION OF THE DESERT can be purchased off here: http://www.musicplex.com

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	Come to think of it some of my early Varese releases such as Goldsmith's Psycho II or The Blue Max are probably pretty rare today, too. [Message edited by Nicolai P. Zwar on 11-22-2001]

Dana Wilcox Oscar® Winner	Soundtrackman, I think you and I are among the few on this PLANET that have the original ROOTS OF HEAVEN LP. (I too have GOD'S LITTLE ACRE on LP and WIND on CD.)

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	Dana, I have some of those LPs you mention too (Scorpio, Prince Of The City, The Awakening). They may indeed be "rare", but how do we know? Are we just talking about things that came out ages ago? By the way, Dana, what's that Will Penny you've got? Is it the one with bits of other scores on it, or was there a release I don't know about? Brilliant score! "DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH BUT ONE THING I'M SURE OF, A MAN AIN'T NOTHIN' MORE THAN A MAAAAN!"
