In a location adjacent to a place in a city of some significance, what comes out of my head is plastered on the walls of this blog.

For the longest time, I'd been hoping that Elmer Bernstein's score to National Lampoon's Animal House would get a release. Sadly, I'm still waiting. (2022 is the centenary of Bernstein's birth, so if it doesn't happen this year, it goddamn well better happen next year.)

As both projects came out from Universal and under the auspices of Ivan Reitman, I'd fantasized about a shared release of Animal House and 1986's Legal Eagles. The latter score was just released by Intrada...but, sadly, it's a straight re-release of the original LP. The red tape must've been insane to have precluded a combo LP/complete score release...at least, that's what I'm hoping. I doubt that it couldn't have happened because no one felt like it.

Anyway, I did some track listings for Legal Eagles, the complete score.

1. Birthday 0.57
2. Scuffle 0.06
3. Arson 0.49

36. Struggle 1.56
37. Escape 0.33 
38. Fire and Rescue 2.15
39. Case Dismissed 2.10

The LP has been uploaded piecemeal over the years on YouTube and I haven't seen the film in four and a half years, so...you figure out what's missing.

Oh, and P.S.: this new Blogger interface (which results in the track listings having spaces between them no matter what you try to do) fucking sucks.

ETA: Shift + enter. Choke on that, causality!
