Some great scores from the comment section of YDHTVTB

Many thanks to the all the original uploaders, who make this comment section such a great place to go. These scores are too great to be buried in this large comment, so I like to feature some of them here again.

Concerning Mandingo:
This file is actually not Maurice Jarre's score but one of the four records by the 70ies rock fusion band "Mandingo". Actually I listened yesterday to the record and was wondering that a western-era film like "Mandingo" had such a modern score ! So much for recognizing your favorite composer... However, it is a great and rare record well worth downloading, so give it a try ! There's a lesser-known British film/library composer involved in this "Mandingo" band, but at this moment I can't remember who.

It's time for a new Schifrinwatch

From Isbum (he found it on the net) comes Latin in the Horn, an album Schifrin made in the 60ies together with trumpeter Al Hirt, who played on the Green Hornet theme (look for a LP where this is included in an older post on this blog). As always, many thanks to Isbum !!!

And from the comment section of YDHTVTB (the finest source for soundtrack records) comes Amityville Horror in the rare expanded version:

Perhaps my children are safe now

Daniel was so kind and posted a comment that Rapidbolt links are safe again - well, I will give it a try: here is my third compilation of Now This is Music again:

Let's see how long it works out. (Or, to say it with John Morris: "Hope for the best, expect the worst.")
If the file stays, I will upload other music files again soon.
