I wrote a column on film music for the genre magazine,  SCARLET STREET,  for about twelve years. In keeping with the sophisticated tongue-in-cheek vision of editor Richard Valley,  it was called the RECORD RACK, and in it I covered mostly classic film scores and the films for which they were created.

For an Asian themed issue (  #24, 1997 ) I did an in-depth look at Roman Polanski's classic retro-noir film, CHINATOWN, and the music Jerry Goldsmith composed for it. 

The occasion was also the re-issue of the classic original LP soundtrack LP on CD. The review is reproduced in two-parts below.
