Here are some updates on previous Soundtracks of the Week.

Number 19, Les Baxter's The Dunwich Horror, has been released in more complete form by La-La Land Records.

Universal Music Classics & Jazz put out a more complete release of Peter Thomas's Chariots of the Gods, SotW #38.

The seventy-second Soundtrack of the Week was three recordings of Bernard Herrmann's music for North by Northwest. At the time I wrote that if I could only have one, it would be the original soundtrack recording, conducted by Herrmann. That's still true, but the actual CD to have is Intrada's release of new stereo mixes.

Quartet Records released a more complete CD of #81, Jerry Fielding's score for Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.

Maurice Jarre's complete music for Lawrence of Arabia, number 94, was re-recorded by the City of Prague Philharmonic conducted by the redoubtable Nic Raine and released on two CDs (with a lot of bonus material consisting of new recordings of music from other Jarre scores) by Tadlow Music.
