As promised - our new release.  You know the drill - $19.98 plus 3.75 shipping to paypal.

“THE LORD GONNA SMOTE HIS ASS.”

Kritzerland is proud to present a world premiere limited edition CD release:

BUSTING
Music Composed and Conducted by Billy Goldenberg

In the 1970s, cop films were all the rage. Busting, made in 1974, was a buddy cop film, with Elliot Gould and Robert Blake as two iconoclastic, laid back, wise-cracking, we’re-doing-it-our-own-way cops.  It was Peter Hyams’ debut as a feature film director.

Supporting Gould’s and Blake’s irreverent performances are a crackerjack assemblage of great 1970s character actors – Allen Garfield, great as the bad guy Rizzo, Antonio Fargas, Michael Lerner, Sid Haig, William Sylvester, Logan Ramsey, and Richard X. Slattery.  Shot all over Los Angeles, the film is not heavy on plot, but is heavy on atmospheric sequences, all involving Gould and Blake’s rather unorthodox policing techniques, most of which would probably get them landed in the clinker rather than the bad guys.  They raid gay bars, massage parlors, entrap hookers – that’s business as usual for them.

For the score to Busting, Hyams chose a composer who was having a lot of success in television, and who had done a handful of films – Billy Goldenberg. In the late 1960s, he began composing for films and television on a regular basis.  He provided terrific scores for some great TV series of that era, such as The Name Of The Game, It Takes A Thief, Ironside, and Night Gallery.  He also wrote the scores to such films as Change of Habit (with Elvis), and a particularly memorable score to Red Sky At Morning.  Then in 1971, Goldenberg scored a classic TV film called Duel for a young up-and-coming TV director named Steven Spielberg.  It was a seriously great score and brought Goldenberg a lot of notice.  After that, he went on to score the film version of Woody Allen’s Play It Again, Sam, Up The Sandbox (with Barbra Streisand), The Last of Sheila (written by Anthony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim), as well as more TV scores for shows like McCloud, The Sixth Sense, Ghost Story, The Bold Ones, Banacek, Kojak, as well as his groundbreaking work on a little series of mystery movies featuring a rumpled detective named Columbo. He was nominated for many Emmy Awards, winning two along the way. 

Goldenberg’s score for Busting is one of his most interesting and unusual – it has some serious funk, some fun source music, some terrific suspense cues, and some very unorthodox (for the time) orchestrations.  His music fits the film like a glove – it’s just as sly, irreverent and off-the-cuff as the movie’s sly, irreverent and off-the-cuff protagonists. 

For this CD release, we present every cue that Goldenberg wrote for the film.  Some of these are dialed so low in the film mix that you can’t even hear them.  We’ve assembled the cues in film order, but have consolidated a few of the shorter cues into longer ones for a better listening experience.  There were two source music cues that didn’t have cue numbers that didn’t seem to be used in the film (at least that you could hear) – we’ve included those as bonus tracks – one of them has some great funky organ that would have been perfectly at home in any number of blaxploitation films of that decade.   The score was assembled from the mono tapes housed in the MGM vault.

There is not nearly enough Billy Goldenberg on CD – and so it is a particular treat to be able to do this wonderful score, and hopefully it will usher in more Goldenberg – he was (and is) a master of his craft and a unique talent.

This release is limited to 1000 copies only.  The price is $19.98 plus shipping.

CD will ship by the first week of July – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).   To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

For women's clothing, my favorite era is the 1950s, particularly the latter half of that decade.

Loved the tight waistline with the full skirts and lots of crinoline underneath. That would be my most fave.

Great photos, MBarnum. While I appreciate the styles that have gone before, including the hats men wore in the '30s and the RayBan-skinny black tie look of Italian cinema in the '60s, I must say I'm finding myself a jeans kind of person. If it's comfortable and natural material, I love it no matter what it looks like. Linen and cotton are my two favorite fabrics since it's mostly sunny and warm here.

Hey, Fred, I finally saw Our Town last night. Although I loved the show I kept wondering what you were talking about with the bacon. I thought, perhaps because it's been running so long they did away with the smell-o-vision. Then they did the reveal. OMG!!! What a moment.

What a production. I've done the show and I've seen other productions, usually wrapped in sentimentality ,but this is something different. I laughed and cried and was very moved. It's a beautiful, real, natural and heartfelt production. If you're in New York you should see this show.

We shall see what happens tonight.  The Monday sessions in general usually bring out even MORE people, so I may have some difficult choices to make.

Post by: elmore3003 on May 17, 2010, 06:14:51 AM
Good morning, all! I slept too late, and a lot of it had to do with strange dreams: I remember a  part of one involving a house in a slum area of Middletown, Ohio, near a highway, a couple of roommates, something weird I do not recall, and a problem with lights - I think my dad may havebeen involved - and a visit from Robert Kimball, to whom I've not spoken since the Library of congress debacle. After that, I had a dream involving Jonathan Tunick and  the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, whose offices were strangely very shabby and run down, not at all as they currently are. My last memory of the dream is telling Jonathan to hold the elevator while i located my jacket.

So, today I am having lunch with David James, one of my best friends in the Miami University Theatre Dept, who left New York over fifteen years ago to relocate to London. He's working on a musical theayre project that brought him over to interview a number of folk and we will have lunch and catch up on what's going on.

Beyond that, I have a few errands and some editing work.

Fashion? I usually dress as if I were coming to or going from my coal barge. I certainly recall with horror much fashion of the past 40 years, but I was never built to wear much of it. These days it's corduroys, casual shirts in the cold weather nd shorts from May to October. I do have to wear a suit in Canton, Ohio, so I suppose I should see if mine still fits.

Speaking of fashion, what is it with some of these fashion designers and hair dressers to dress as peculiarly as possible as if to point out to the noncognescenti "I look like a fool so I must be really really talented"?

Brother is up, so guess I'm not going back to sleep.  He'll be gone by ten-fifteen, then I'll have an hour to get ready and do some stuff, then the meeting begins, which will be torture as it involves a long-distance conference call and my phone does NOT have a great speaker phone.  Then it's another little meeting, a dinner, and then a movie that has to be watched.

I'm REALLY tired.  Orders are coming through, slowly but surely.  The audio samples are finally up.  They didn't even get to me until about one in the morning, long after I was sleeping.  So, I had to load them all in iTunes, make mp3s and get them to the web guy without even listening to them for quality purposes.  That I'll do now, I guess.

Actually it may have already been released. If the season 5 of The Lucy Show has been released it may be part of the package. It is a continuation of The Lucy Flies To London episode and aired the following week. It is not counted as an episode in The Lucy Show so they may have included it as a bonus.

BK, is the movie Coco Before Chanel in French with English subtitles?

Here is it called Coco Avant Chanel, and it was in French with french subtitles, or French with English subtitles. I thought the movie was interesting. But it ended right where it started to get interesting for me. I like fashion so i would have liked to see a lot more of the Coco after she became famous. But i guess that would have been a different movie.

Now I'm waiting for a call back from the UPS national office to see if they did try to deliver a package to my apartment on Saturday. I'm a bit concerned right now since whoever called me - and called me from a local UPS office (Thank You, Caller ID) - had my name, my address and my phone number as well as the name of a company that I've worked for.  I also hope that the company that "they" said was sending me something is not (possibly) being scammed right now too.

I've spent the mprning printing out the new scores for Babes In Toyland that have a harp part. So far, it looks as if my original decisions were retained, so why the hell are they redone in the new scores for The Lady Of The Slipper?

And speaking of The Tonys... -And aren't we always speaking of The Tonys? Well...

The other day DR Noel asked about Jonathan Tunick's Tony Nomination for his orchestrations for Promises, Promises since they sounded pretty close to the originals to his ears - and mine too.  Well...

I happened to run into a friend of mine yesterday who is a Tony voter, and I asked him about the nomination.  His reply:

"Well, the Orchestration category wasn't instituted until 1997."

Ah! -So, even though the current orchestrations may resemble the original orchestrations, since Mr. Tunick was not - and could not have been - nominated for the Orchestration Tony back in 1968/69, he and his work qualify this season.

*And, of course, the first person to win the Tony Award for Best Orchestrations: Jonathan Tunick for Titanic.

I had a big gay chocolate ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles from Doug after lunch.

He's on his way to China to perform so he will be gone for two weeks!

Hooray for Doug

You didn't get a "Bea Arthur" or a "Salty Pimp" or a "Monday Sundae" or a "Coco Cone"?!?!?  ;)

I really like Doug. He's become a good friend.

When he's back and I go to the truck I'll mention your name. He hadn't put out the sign yet and just after he handed me my cone he put out the sign with the Bea Arthur. Next time I'll try it. Sounds great!

Did he follow Lucy there?

Busting is doing about as well as Legend of the Lost so far - which is not quite well enough.  I'm hoping it picks up otherwise I fear no more Billy Goldenberg on CD.

Good afternoon! I have just delivered all of the materials for our baseball film to be onlined and mixed---hooray. I will still be dealing with details here and there but basically I'll be down to one job---THE CLOSER (after I edit a trailer for the film) and will finally have time to clean my house, exercise and read HHW!

Dear Lord, is Mercury retrograde in my anus or something like that?  So far today I have:

Been screamed at by our old neighbor who parked in our driveway with two trucks and his Mercedes and then went ballistic when I asked him to please move them as I was there to load up our car.  He claimed to be an off duty policeman, and what with Portland's recent spate of police having anger management issues (front page news in the Oregonian), I believed him.  Incredible.

Been dealing with Qwest all day long, which has totally fouled up our account in moving over here.

Been dealing with the screencap proprietary hardware/software people we use at Blu-ray.com.  They "updated" their driver, making their equipment unusable.

For women's clothing, my favorite era is the 1950s, particularly the latter half of that decade.

Loved the tight waistline with the full skirts and lots of crinoline underneath. That would be my most fave.
