THE FRESHMAN (unreleased score by David Newman) (lossless/FLAC)

This wacky comedy from 1990 had a plot you’d never suspect: Matthew Broderick, a film student, is hired by a shady businessman (Marlon Brando, doing a take-off on his own role in The Godfather) to help transport illegally-imported endangered species so wealthy foodies can eat them. Possibly based on the real childhood of Andrew Zimmern, this farce featured a surprisingly tuneful score by David Newman which was never commercially released. That’s your cue, Intrada!

These same tracks were also released on the private DNCD label (#002LR) and in a close comparison I found them to be exactly the same. I do not know which release came first. The DNCD version also includes 13 tracks from Newman’s score to The Cowboy Way. However, The Cowboy Way was also released in what I think is a superior version and which can be found here: Thread 165389

16 tracks totaling about 32 minutes.
Good (not great) stereo sound. A little muffled-sounding. No dialog or sfx.
Tau and EAC indicated all tracks on this disc to be lossless.
Disc was ripped to FLAC using XLD.

Thanks for the share�

I loved this movie when it came out. A fun light comedy caper topped with the iconic Marlon Brando shamelessly parodying his Godfather character. I didn’t realize that they never released a soundtrack. Thanks so much for sharing this neglected delightful David Newman score, yepsa. It’s bringing the movie back to life in my mind.

thank you

Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for sharing, yepsa!

I saw that the soundtrack posted for the 1925 film "The Freshman" on the front page today and was disappointed when it wasn’t the David Newman score, but luckily you posted it several years earlier.

Thanks you!
