| | | | Posted: | Oct 14, 2013-4:25 PM | | | By: | Simon G(Member) | BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY - SEASON ONE (3CD) Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 255 Date: 1979-1980 Tracks: 74 Time = 188:11 3-CD world premiere release of soundtrack music from Season One of cult sci-fi TV series starring Gil Gerard. Generous set features primary episode composer Johnny Harris, who also arranged & conducted numerous versions of Glen A. Larson theme music, plus episode scores from Les Baxter, Richard LaSalle, Stu Phillips. Styles of music emphasize exciting symphonic splendor and colorful sci-fi atmosphere, but listeners will also find some rollicking outer space pop sensibilitiy to balance. While show was broadcast only in mono, Universal fortunately elected to record in 1/2" three-channel stereo format with vivid, punchy dynamics. Engineers recorded with mono in mind but happily ensured stereo mixes were possible for internal needs. All rolls of tape were vaulted in pristine condition. Sole exception is second portion of "Plot To Kill A City" (Stu Phillips) which survives on 1/4" full track (mono) tape only. Source cues by Stu Phillips (Jelly Belly, three others) round out collection. John Takis offers authoritative notes on show, episodes, music. Interior packaging includes array of color stills plus complete cue/slate assembly details & full track titles. Composers conduct their own contributions. For this volume, Intrada presents suites from the following episodes on this 3-CD set: Planet of the Slave Girls (Johnny Harris) The Plot to Kill a City (Stu Phillips) Return of the Fighting 69th (Johnny Harris) Vegas in Space (Les Baxter) Aradala Returns (Johnny Harris) Space Rockers (Johnny Harris) Unchained Woman (Richard LaSalle) http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8284/.f | | |

And at $10.- per CD, not a bad price either though I'm sure I buy it now just to see it go at $9.95 in a year's time. But that's okay because I will have had a year's worth of the good stuff. Aaah but no "Space rockers". Well we have to remedy that in this thread too: DISCO STU. | | |

| | | | Posted: | Oct 15, 2013-12:44 AM | | | By: | Jörn(Member) | Iam also very happy and surprised about this release. But I see, that not only Cacavas wasnt presented in this Season 1 Volume, neather was there one note of J.J. Johnson`s music (and he done a lot of episodes for season one). I would like to know, how the peopel at Intrada make theire choises, wich scores from Season 1 they release. Was it a matter of taste or of avaible sources? Maybe theire will be a SEASON 1, Volume 2? Who knows. Anyway, I just will enjoy this Volume now. | | |
| | | | Posted: | Oct 15, 2013-1:57 AM | | | By: | Disco Stu(Member) | That reminds me, Disco Stu -- in the liner notes, I describe the members of Andromeda as "glow-stick-bedecked," when they are clearly "light-strip-bedecked." Mea culpa! Well, I made the mistake that the "Space rocker" opening song wasn't in the set. I heard the samples, and HOORAAY I WAS WRONG IT'S IN!! A search of 20 years has come to an end! My galactic gratitude goes to interstellar Intrada. We're getting a lotta bang for and from our Buck. DISCO STU. | | |
