I assume its still copywritten. I am actually looking for something public domain or soundalike for some new shorts if anyone has suggestions.

It's mostly the opening title and the closing title. The score was rerecorded, beautifully and perfectly, about ten years ago for a CD, arranged by John Morgan and conducted by Bill Stromberg. The disc is available, and I always found Marco Polo, the record producers, very easy to deal with.

I wish someday that Morgan and Stromberg would do that 8 minute piece used in THE INVISIBLE MAN (was it by Heinz Roemheld?)and record it on to CD somehow. "How can I handcuff a bloomin' shirt??!?"

While obviously a lot of work went into it, I'm no fan of the fluctuation of the tempo. Some tracks are like listening to the scores on Valium. The Universal Fanfare should be played maetoso not legato. The first cut is way too slow, but the fanfare for THE WOLF MAN is more like it. J.

That wasn't conducted by Bill Stromberg, and it was played at a funereal pace on both of the scores. And I think the object on the two variations of the Universal logo was to duplicate not only the familiar one, but also the earlier version, the one that's on SON OF FRANKENSTEIN.

There were several variations on the number of stings leading to the final chord. The recordings done post-'39 (I think there were two - one with a more prominent horn intro) were more balanced with a bit more "cascade" to the performance. Mr. Chudnow could elucidate on this far better than these aural impressions.

It's probably from one of the Durbin pictures (they're the only 35mm Universals from '37 that are around on disc or tape). It's also a different photographic image. The star clusters are much more dense than in the post-'38 filmed globe.

The wider "A Universal Picture" letters which circle the globe are matted in, a separate element. You can tell from the slight shadow on either extreme end as they revolve. I never noticed this before on later logos, possibly because Fulton (or someone) made come corrections.

I have this logo on my print of SIN TOWN (English track; Spanish subs). Really something.
