AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN (1957) ALBERT GLASSER

Albert Glasser’s score alternates like a manic-depressive moodswing, from brass-blasting marching band to poignant Herrmannesque moments to lumbering King Kong riffs.
Cassette source (copied from Glasser’s reels) was recorded to cd. Cues edited and put into film order. It is the not the complete soundtrack – the cue when the army search, find and inject Glenn was missing (would be between tracks 24 and 25).
Three scenes used edited parts of other cues, so I inserted those despite the redundancy. Several rehearsal tracks added at the end.
Pitch might be slightly different from film. Fair sound quality. 44 minutes, 34 tracks.

I almost skipped over this post… But this is amazing, indeed! I never expected the complete score. Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Very nice, thanks.

Thanks sadsack!

Fantastic score from one of the most talented underrated composers of the 50s/60s. Albert Glassers work is more than worth to be listened and published. Hopefully there will surface more of his unreleased scores. As thrashy this movie is its relly pure fun and Albert Glassers score for it is really fantastic. Thousand thanks for this jewel.

Thanks.

I echo Mr. Garibaldi sentiments above. Thank you so much for sharing this and other Glasser scores with us, sadsack. It’s a tremendous pleasure to listen to what is mostly new music to me. And a brief glance at IMDB reveals that there is much, much more music to be discovered!

Howz about a cover…
