The Goldsmith Odyssey

Odyssey Soundtrack Spotlight - MacArthur (1977) with Doug Fake, Chris Malone and Jeff Bond

Yavar and David / Doug Fake, Chris Malone, and Jeff Bond Season 6 Episode 13

Attention! Our final Soundtrack Spotlight of the year is here! 2023 hasn’t exactly been jam-packed with new Goldsmith releases, but it’s closing with a pretty special one: Intrada’s new 2-CD presentation of MacArthur, which offers both a restoration of the original LP re-recording and the premiere of the original film tracks. Your humble hosts Yavar and David are joined by Intrada’s Douglass Fake, liner notes writer Jeff Bond, and restoration specialist Chris Malone to discuss this thrilling new release. They discuss the surprising thematic depth and variety the full version of the score has to offer, the assorted restoration challenges posed by this project, the sonic differences between the film mix and the re-recorded album cues, and much more. Remember: old film scores never die, they just get better-sounding and more complete. Dismissed!

Soundtrack Spotlight shall return… in 2024.
