Rather large DeWolfe request (1975-76)
« on: July 02, 2025, 10:02:35 PM »
Hey all,

I've been trying to find all the cues that George Romero used for his earlier films.  Ive got everything I need from 1962 - 1974, but now I'm working on cues that MAY have been used in his 1976 film "Martin".  I know he used at least one cue (A cymbal hit), but there are still a few cues left where it's possible it could be DeWolfe.

1975:
3299 - On With the Dance Vol 2
3303 - Themes and Variations Vol 2
3307 - Country Affairs
3314 - Go Lightly

1976:
3325 - Solo Sounds: Volume Two
3329 - Ensemble

There are also some others that are incomplete that I would like if someone could upload a complete version. 


3061 - TV Fillers INCOMPLETE

3217 - Tete a Tete INCOMPLETE

Thanks!

Here are quite a few of your requests, credit to the original people who kindly shared all of these. I have not gone through them and checked so apologies if any are incorrect.

Wow that's some list guitarzombie. Here's another 10 albums which were not on Craig-UK's list. At a glance I think they are all lossless.

Thanks to Craig for his shares here. One or two gaps filled. I hope my share does likewise for you.

Thanks everyone.  I'll DL these right away and hopefully find those remaining cues! 

I'll remove the ones I get from this list and if I find them all, I'll edit the post reflecting that.

There is an 'unworded vocals' rendition of Johnny Comes Marching Home on this 3109 - Take Me To The Mountains that hopefully is the one| pixeldrain.com/u/HsCeeTSx

Here's 3124- it wasn't bolded so missed first time | pixeldrain.com/u/tGRLJkMr

Unfortunately, nido'd 3022 Checkpoint is incomplete, missing the last 4 tracks.
Other than that, I found a couple of lossless I didn't have nido. Thanks a lot.

And I tried to download and unpack the mysterious big file you shared Retro, and I found 5 (!!) lossless I didn't have.
Thank you so much.
Many many new songs to listen to, today...yay!!

Great, thank you so much!  Finally, one of the cues I was looking for from Jack's Wife was on "Key Largo" (Frank's Sonata).  I actually thought it was going to be on "Organ Moods" and was gonna mention that, luckily before I checked your uploads!

Thank you also for "Take Me To The Mountains", I actually got that one in the mail yesterdays haha.  It has two cues from "The Amusement Park" (Unquiet Grave, both versions) and "The Crazies" DOES use that version of "Johnny I Hardly Knew You", but not the version I'm looking for.

Incredibly, with ALL the records you all were so kind to share, that's the ONLY cue I found!  So either I'm incredibly unlucky, or in fact the other cues I was looking for are not actually DeWolfe.  The Crazies still has 4 cues I havent found.  There's some chase music that SOUNDS like it could be library (George actually said it was) but I'm thinking it may have been supplied by the same people that did the song from the movie "Heaven Help Us".  The old timey music doesn't sound like DeWolfe, although it sounds like Ivor Stanley.  The two others the acoustic/banjo and Johnny Comes Marching Home may be some public domain music.  I have no idea where it could have come from.   "The Amusement Park" uses some snare march with some glassy melody sounding thing but I think that may have been recorded live when they filmed it, as both times it's used with scenes of a marching band.

Still, I'll keep looking and glad this help some people fill in some gaps they were missing!

Have you checked Rouge, Hudson and Sylvester? All DW sister labels and all used by George at some point

The first DW catalogue that covers these earlier releases has a Solo Instruments listing and can’t see any banjo only tracks if that helps.

The Crazies was released in 1973, and in post production in 1972.  Rogue was started in 1974 so that's out.  I did check all of Sylvester as the first 50 or so were uploaded to DeWolfe's website.  It looks like they bought a bunch of French records and some of the cues I found that I thought were Arvay turned out to be Patrice Sciortino because they sound so similar.  Anyway, no cues there.

As for Hudson, there aren't many records to check.  By 1974 they only had 7 records out.  I have (and own) Mindbender and Dramaturgy/Cosmogony (love this one).  Classical Colors is also on DeWolfe's website.

So as for Hudson the only ones I haven't checked would be HMC 01 Rocking Tempo, HMC 02 Invention, HMC 03 Sit Back, and HMC 05 Friendly Face.  So far, all the cues Ive found have been from DeWolfe's main label.  George had just started using them in 1970 so I think Fred Jacobs would have suggested stuff from the main category.  Still worth a shot to look but I don't think they'd be on there.

As for "It's a Solo Instrument", I have checked those.  Actually a few Crazies cues are from that record too.

Where did you find that DW catalogue?  I would love to see it!
