His score for AND SOON THE DARKNESS is brillaint. The funky theme-tune, giving way to the atmospheric music, is quite the turnaround.

Hey ,but you can,t get this can you? and the dvd was scrapped...

s20076037 · 10-12-2007, 06:50 PM

Don't think you can get the score, no. AND SOON THE DARKNESS is coming out on DVD by Optimum in January, isn't it?

It's a shame that the original cuts of The New Avengers and The Professionals are not in the box set, only inferior re-recordings which have appeared on compilations before. The Avengers material on disc one is stunning and worth the price of the set on its own.

Quite true ,I would have paid double just for disc 1.Lets hope mores on the way....

Is the TIGER BAY theme on the CD set ?

Is it the same as the film soundtrack/ the TOP RANK single from 1959 (which differs)/later re-recording ?

Absolutely. This is a superb value for money 3 CD set. At under £7 it was a steal!
