Miklos Rozsa score on CD


I don't believe this score was ever officially released. Do any collectors have a copy of this great Miklos Rozsa score available for trade?

There is a magnificent suite of the film's score, re-recorded by the National Philharmonic Orchestra under the conduction of Charles Gerhardt:

It's a good score and would certainly deserve a CD. I didn't notice Rózsa's name on the credits, but I quickly noticed the score as the movie progressed and recognized his style. I wonder if he would have used the theremin had he written the score just a few years later. I'm thinking Waco's lonely, thirsty walk through the desert might have especially inspired its use.
