A Score To Settle Podcast - Episode 35, Guest Neil S. Bulk, soundtrack album producer and editor, 2020 in review

Welcome to the first episode of the podcast of 2021! I am joined once more by soundtrack album producer and editor Neil S. Bulk to review his projects from last year and discuss surprises, roadblocks and highlights. covered in this episode include THE KARATE KID II and THE KARATE KID III, music composed by Bill Conti, both deluxe editions released from La-La Land Records, completing the trilogy alongside their previous release of 1984's THE KARATE KID. Following on from this, we discuss HOFFA (David Newman), DARKMAN (Danny Elfman), MR. MOM (Lee Holdridge), JACOB'S LADDER (Maurice Jarre) and a batch of 1960's era Jerry Goldsmith scores presented on the new GOLDSMITH AT 20TH (formerly 20th Century Fox) series from the aforementioned La-La Land Records. Neil also adds some comments about working on the recently expanded 2-CD edition of Goldsmith's final theatrical score, LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION, from 2003.
