Rollercoaster ride for you

ScoresOfScores was so nice and posted the Aleph release of "Rollercoaster": http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=ef359583dcd34cec7a07d48b7bb734da

This is one of Schifrin's finest scores of the 70ies and was one of the earliest records I had of him. Remember "Sensurround" in the cinemas ? I saw this movie with this effect here in Germany at the time.

The best track is no. 3, and also very interesting is track 6 (Movement from "String Quartet"). This string quartet was supposed to be released by Entrac'te (it's announced on the LP of "The Eagle Has Landed/The Four Musketeers"), but it never came up. If anyone should have a recording of it, a share would be some sort of world premiere !!!

This score is by far one of the best Soundtracks ever recorded and produced in the the mid 70s, as I own the original LP, japanese CD and the reissue CD with extra tracks and of course the music of The Sparks' Big Boy and Fill 'er Up, from the 1976 album Big Beat makes for a completeness to the music of Rollercoaster of witch I am currently writing a treatment/screenplay to a sequel to this year.
