Title: Close, But No Cigar... (Maybe a Cigarette, Actually)
Review: John Barry's pristine rendition of this classic soundtrack was released on vinyl via indie label Southern Cross Records, back in the early Eighties. (Good luck finding THAT version.) Sadly, it has never been re-released in any format, let alone CD. So here's Joel McNeely's version with the LSO on Varese Sarabande, and you know what? You could do MUCH, much worse. Though slightly different in tempo and texture, you can almost feel the Florida humidity flushing your skin, squeezing out so much moisture that you have to strip down to whatever is legally allowed...and beyond...just like Ned and Mattie...Until the actual soundtrack is found, remastered and once again loosed upon the world, this will do in a pinch, slap and tickle...Even purists will hit "play" and have to admit that Lawrence Kasdan's post-noir vibe comes to throbbing life in every groove.
