IN MY RE-UP QUEUE

Pass: inferno

Notes:

According to information from the IMDb, when the director William Tannen hired Tangerine Dream to score Flashpoint he told them not to do the end title song because he had one he was using — Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones. Tangerine Dream said it was the perfect song to end the film with. They scored the entire film but this piece. Then the studio felt the song was too expensive and instead gave the assignment to an assistant who worked for one of the vice presidents. It was voted ‘worst’ end title song for 1984 by Leonard Matlin, the film critic.

The soundtrack was released world-wide by EMI on vinyl and audio cassette, but the only CD release was done in the United Kingdom by the Heavy Metal label. This one revealed to be probably one of the rarest items of TD — especially if a collector was looking for a playing copy: Most copies of this series had a pressing error and were unplayable; so the company called back all the CDs and deleted Flashpoint from the lists soon after. A handful of playing copies are circulating among fans, but they were traded at prices of some-hundred Dollars. More than ten years later, in 1995, all those who were desperately seeking for this CD got the chance to buy it at a realistic price: After there had been rumours about re-releases for years, a US-based label re-issued the soundtrack at last.

Thanks Zoran. Just in case anyone isn’t aware, Christopher Franke of Babylon 5 fame was a long time member of Tangerine Dream and plays synth and percussion on this album. So if you want to hear what that master of the television score was doing before he met J. Michael Straczynski, here’s a good place to start.
