I thought I would float a different type of topic to try and get some feedback -- what pop soundtracks (from the 60s, 70s and 80s) that have never been released on cd would you like to see released on cd? ------------- Top 40 Music On Compact Disc Moderator |

| I've never been a real big fan of soundtrack albums myself. Especially pre-"Saturday Night Fever" they seemed to have one or two good songs, and a lot of filler and/or cheezy instrumentals. |

I would like to see all the original "Planet of the Apes" series soundtracks released on CD. I believe only the original has been.
Others I would like re-released, that are out of print: Superman II The Black Hole (on iTunes, but OOP on CD) Music of the 1984 Games (released on CD briefly in Japan in 1985 -- goes for over $200 on Ebay) |

| Just last week I did a vinyl transfer of "The Idolmaker" soundtrack from 1980. To the best of my knowledge it's never been on C.D., although I could have paid around $35 for someone else's transfer. |

Yeah, I'd like that one, too, as it has the never-on-CD Elton John B-side "Take Me Down to the Ocean." |

| Arthur STK was released in Japan in the 80s but I guess it has been out of print for many years. |

| I just received today the original ORIGINAL Japanese CD pressing of the West Side Story soundtrack from 1983. It uses what I presume is the original stereo mix of the soundtrack, not the silly 1993 remix with all the added movie dialogue that is also riddled with noise reduction. As far as I know, that awful remix is all that has been issued in America. I much prefer this original stereo mix. |
