Addendum: SCORE!

Oh yeah, while at Worldcon cruising the dealer's room, I found a table where they proprietor sells out-of-print CDs of movie and tv show scores and soundtracks.  I flipped through them, looking for either Superman or Terminator (I have both of those on LP but haven't owned a record player in more than a decade).

I didn't find either one, but I did find a copy of the soundtrack album for THE SHADOW*.  Wow!  I wasn't looking for that one because, frankly, I had given up hope of ever finding it.  I wasn't even sure it had ever been released.

But now I own it and I'm listening to it even as I type this.  Yay!

*Yes, yes--I'm sure many people will think my taste is all in my mouth now that I've revealed that one of my favorite films is The Shadow.  But so what?  I don't care.  I like what I like, and I like The Shadow.  As a friend of mine put it, it has just the right touch of mystic weirdness.

That was a GREAT film.

Managed to capture, for me, the spirit of the character very well (and worth the admission price for that one comic-cover moment on the stairs of the Monolith Hotel).

If I'd known you needed the soundtrack, I could have GIVEN it to you. I've had it for years. I assumed with your icon and so on that you'd probably collected all the interesting material on it years ago.

Well, I suppose I should confess that I never looked THAT hard for it. I skimmed a few websites now and then, but never made a concerted effort to find it. And anyway--half the fun of finally obtaining it this week was stumbling across it out of the blue at the con!

Yeah, the stairs. For me, the iconic scene was on the bridge when the two thugs finally get a good look at the nigh-invisible superhero who's been terrorizing them.
