Am I right in thinking that Alex North was due to write the music for Stanley Kubrick's 2001 - Space Odyssey before Kubrick changed his mind and raided the classics?

Alex North actually wrote a score for the film, based on a temp track of recorded music that Kubrick assembled. I have heard that Kubrick always wanted to use this, and only at the studio's assistance commissioned North. North's friend Jerry Goldsmith released a CD of his score; it's interesting for its similarity to the music used in the film. It's still available through Amazon or what have you.
