Dirty Harry soundtracks

[Jed Cooper]

Does anybody know if the rest of the Dirty Harry soundtracks will be released on cd?

[Americanbeauty]

nope ....

 but what  i know is that a "dirty harry anthology" was released a few years ago ....

[Jed Cooper]

Thanks Americanbeauty,

Yes, I do have that one already.  Dirty Harry was recently released on cd and I'm hoping the sequels with receive the same treatment.

Wow, two years ago today, you made your debut, AB.

[Glenny]

mary mary had comfermed to me that Sudden Impact soundtrack was to be released.

[Jed Cooper]

Ok, so the Dirty Harry and Magnum Force soundtracks have been released on cd. 

Now what about The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool?

[little_bill]

i was discussing this witha friend last night and we couldn't remember if Schiffrin scored 2 or 3  Harry Movies,
i know he did "Dirty Harry" and i think he did "Magnum Force" but i thought he was absent for "The enforcer" came back for "Sudden Impact" and was absent again for "Dead Pool"
am i even half right here, and who scored the other two if it wasn't schiffrin

[mary mary]

Hi
Dirty Harry Lalo Schifrin
Magnum Force Lalo Schifrin
The Enforcer Jerry Fielding
(The only reason Lalo did not score The Enforcer was because it clashed with Voyage of the Damned which he also scored and received an Oscar nomination)
Sudden Impact Lalo Schifrin
The Dead Pool Lalo Schifrin

The Enforcer CD is in the can and ready for release early 2007 that same year will see the release of Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool will follow in time.

You can take all this information as 100% gospel

I always thought that The Enforcer music was too up-beat for a Dirty Harry score...

It was Okay though.  I was a little hesitant when I first bought the movie because it wasn't Lalo's music.

Just to put a stop to any possible confusion, there is a German Bootleg an unlicensed CD that appears on ebay (rather expensively) which actually states Lennie Niehaus as one of the composers. Mr Niehaus has of course never composed a Dirty Harry Movie.
I've pasted an image below, but avoid at all costs and wait for the genuine releases

[Glenny]

Listen to her!  I bought it and it is uterly horrible.

[Lin Sunderland]

Sorry you got caught Glenny.     

Thanks for the warning mary mary.

[Glenny]

Well...it wasn't that bad.  When ever I listened to it (which wasn't very much) I had to remind myself that is was a bootleg.

Dirty Harry:
The first 7 tracks are right from the Dirty Harry Anthology. Track 8 "Scorpio's Theme" is quite strange for a Dirty Harry track I can't bother to explain.  Track 9 "Dirty Harry" is the main title theme, just a differant composer.  Again, too strange for words.

Magnum Force:
Tracks 10-14 are again from the Dirty Harry Anthology.  Track 15 "Callahan's Theme" is has NO relation to ANY Dirty Harry film.  Track 16 "Magnum Force" is again, the main title theme with a differant composer.  Bad.

The Enforcer:
Tracks 17-19 are taken from Sudden Impact: And The Best of Dirty Harry! As for track 20 "End Titles", it was recored from the movie.  It starts a few seconds late.

Sudden Impact:
Tracks 21-27 are again from the Dirty Harry Anthology.  Track 29 "This Side of Forever" was poorly edited.  I did a better job recording the song from the movie.  The opening of the song is taken from "San Francisco After Dark" and slowed down.

The Dead Pool:
Here is where the CD goes straight to hell.  Tracks 29 and 30 were recorded from the movie and even more poorly edited.  Track 29 "Main Title/The Pursuit" starts about 2 seconds into the opening theme then fades into the scene from the bridge...not the scene in Swan's apartment.  Track 30 "End Credits" starts with the first 30 seconds or so from "Road To San Paulo" and slowed down.  Then cuts about  a half a minute into the original End Credits from The Dead Pool.
I noticed when I watch the movie, when the songs were being recoreded, they avoided any vocals(Poilice sirens, talking).
I did a WAY better job recording both songs from the movie.

Inaddition:
31 "Callahan Suite" is just the "Dirty Harry Suite", but it opens with the vocals from "Dirty Harry's Creed" in the Dirty Harry Anothology.
32 "Unused Theme" composed by Lennie Niehaus has nothing at all to do with any movie.  I don't know why it is even on the CD.

Ok, this is what we have so far.  Does anybody have news on Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool?
