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.

Hee! I could've told you that. :D They even released the Taylor Dayne "Original Sin" as a cassette single. Don't ask me how I have the single, but not the album. x_x Anyway, I like The Shadow. :)

I love 'The Shadow'! It just misses being a great movie, but it has so much going for it, including great costume design.

BTW, Glad we got to meet, even if I had no working brain when you stopped by the table. Oh well, at least now we can say we've met in person!

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.
