I love The Wicker Man, and feel it is one of the finest films of the '70's-- and as to the music, does anyone know if there was/is a soundtrack recording, and if so, how difficult is it to find? The music in the film, if you don't know, features some haunting, beautiful songs, and I would love to get a copy, as the boot I made from my video copy didn't turn out too well (too much dialogue interspersed). thanks in advance--- ---frank ********************************************** "The important thing is to pull yourself up by your own hair To turn yourself inside out and see the world with fresh eyes." ---Peter Weiss, Marat/Sade ********************************************** EMAIL TO: fc0h@andrew.cmu.edu All replies/messages/proposals/ramblings/erotic letters welcome.

The film experienced a lot of post-production problems (there are currently three different versions doing the rounds, ranging from 84 mins. to 102 mins.) and that might be one of the reasons as to why the soundtrack hasn't yet been released. There was supposed to be a non-commercial pressing made of "The Wicker Man" c/w "Starcrash" (of all things) a couple of years ago on some obscure label but it never materialized. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David N.
