THE LONELY GUY (recording sessions? to unreleased score by Jerry Goldsmith) (lossy)

If you are as excited as I was to come across this rare score, you'll probably be just as disappointed as I was when I heard the damn thing. Though not identified as "Recording Sessions" anywhere, the dialog that accompanies some of the tracks, like "end slate" or "save it!", would indicate it to be something similar to that. Half the tracks are under a minute, the sound quality is not great, and it's in mono. If that doesn't bother you, then read on....

This bittersweet comedy from 1984 starred Steve Martin as a shy guy who, after a string of bad luck with women, goes on to write a bestseller about his lonely bachelorhood. MCA released a soundtrack on LP, but it had only 6 tracks: 4 vocals and 2 score tracks. One track ("No Number") is a pretty ballad for orchestra. The other ("The Wedding") is a peppy pop-electronic number that's closer to what most of the other tracks are like. As a bonus I included those 2 tracks off the stereo LP. September 2018 UPDATE: Intrada has just released this score in pristine stereo sound. If you like what you hear here, be sure to look into the Intrada version.

Oh FUCK yeah!

Oh FUCK yeah!

I almost didn't even post this, so I'm glad someone is happy I did.

It kinda makes sense that only one other person would appreciate this. :-P

I DEFINITELY appreciate it, THANKS! Here's hoping we get an official release before too long...

Thanks :)

Thank you, Yepsa!

Thanks!

Thanks Yepsa! :D

Thank you!

Thanks, yepsa.

This is a fantastic film so I'm glad you uploaded this. I thought there was some great music in this film so it will be great to hear how this sounds. I wasn't aware that the original soundtrack release was so disappointing.

Just gave it a listen - it was great to hear these tracks. Really strange though - was this actually off a CD? Must be a weird bootleg of the recording sessions or something. Some tracks are literally nothing more than "save it!".

Is there any link to an LP transfer of the official release? I would actually like to hear the songs on the original soundtrack too.

cheers

Thank you so much for this, nice find anything new from Goldsmith nowadays!

on a quick ear-glance your description fits, but i'm still happy to be able to mark off another goldsmith from my list.

Thanks again! Despite the quality you describe, it's such a rare gem being that it's Goldsmith. Can't wait to listen - saw the movie but it was eons ago, so I have no memory of the music. :-)

Whao - this is a rarity! I actually like the recording sessions, including all the background chatter. It turns it into a performance piece.
