@Bez: Such a great score! Looking for that in black beautiful wax as you have it. The color variant has sound issues.

Yes, I got lucky with this one. Bought it for a very fair price with a bunch of other records from a local seller.

Jeremy Brett.

Yeah I wasn’t going to go full bore, but this is the correct answer. I was thinking to separate out TV and film, but taken altogether, I’d probably have to settle on Brett. But I also rarely dislike a Holmes performance, almost all of them have brought something to the role. Cushings initial turn for hammer is one of my all time favorites, Nicol Williamson is nearly impossible to dislike in anything, Christopher Plummer turns in a good one, and Mason is my favorite Watson in that one. Ranking Holmes portrayals is like ranking Draculas for me. Nearly impossible but frequently Christopher Lee adjacent :).

Oh I don't mind the RDJ or Cumberbatch ones, I think thew writing on the Cumberbatch show goes downhill REAL fast (don't get me started on THEIR Dracula), but I liked their dynamic and the takes on the characters. RDJ movies are fine for what they are, but I also feel like he is just doing an exaggerated Brett impression.

Off the top, subject to change and leaving out current versions which i think need some time to settle for me, and some random made for TV ones that i rarely think about. (Frewer et al)

Brett
Neville
Stephens
Cushing
Rathbone
Williamson
Rowe (yes....i said it)
Plummer
Lee (the TV movies where he plays an old Holmes aren't great, but he and Macnee have fun)
Mckellen (not his fault, i just didn't love the script)
Cavill (didn't hate this, he's just super wrong for the part)

I always thought Ralph Fiennes or Jeremy Irons would have made an excellent Holmes in their younger days. The character is always played so much older than he is in the stories (27 in his first appearance) but its tough to beat the run of 1970's holmes flicks.

Honorary mentions for Peter Cook for sure, also Gene Wilder even though he's playing a parody it's a fun flick of that ilk, and my personal favorite pastiche, The Great Mouse Detective.

Also to reign it back a bit to the thread lol, I'm now playing the score to Seven Percent Solution by John Addison

Well... Irons did assay (essay?) the role one time!

[Mateo Sanboval]

Wait, Scott, I'm not wearing my glasses so forgive me if I missed it, but does Brett not rate for you?

for the record, I agree that the most recent BBC adaptation I had a whole episode's worth of promise before just becoming a steaming pile of modern reality television. And the only memorable part of the Sherlock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels films was Fry as Mycroft.

In all fairness and with greatest of respect to Mssrs Brett, Sanboval and El Hatterino.... I never watched it sirs.

I'll get my (Victorian over-) coat.

This sherlock holmes talk is creating an itch I might need to scratch through watching all sherlock movies chronologically...
I will let that idea simmer for a while.

hahaha! Careful Bez. like Dracula, Holmes is one of the most adapted characters in fiction history. At least 4 or 5 versions for British television through the days, a pile of silent films, the full rathbone series of films. the 1970s run of flicks. Russia alone has done three different tv series. a few different animated adaptations etc. To give you and idea, this is a book from 1974 that lists every available as of then appearance, adaption in film, radio, TV, and pastiche, critical works, foreign language appearances and various miscellany. it is over 500 pages and in very tiny print. granted this is MUCH more than movies, but to give you an idea of the breadth of Holmsian obsession.

If you stick to only theatrical releases, its surmountable and a hell of a lot of fun. if anyone can do it, its you! you just may never come up for air.

[static14]

Not a fan of the art but it sounds great so far.

[CrossedPete]

Got my copy today, I’m looking forward to giving it a spin.

[inksb]

This is a beautiful, I'm so happy to have this soundtrack in the collection. It makes me want to watch the film again.

I don't own it yet but I'd gladly thrown down if someone made a nice 12x12 print of any of the CD covers. Or pieced something similar together.

This equipment was made around 1978. I am still impressed by how it looks.

[Bezulsqy]

So maybe not Sherlock but Bronson as a next movie project...

[Bezulsqy]

Or Norris?

TLV two newest releases, they may be 6 months late but they are fine releases. 3x3 Eyes is the real gem of the two but both are excellent. I listened to both of them 3-4 times each this weekend. Unfortunately my Devilman has a dimple in the starting grooves that makes an awful racket when the needle passes over it. I just need to remember to start the record on the actual track and not the lead in grooves. Love the prints from Holy Mountain Printing, in particular the Devilman one is very strong.

Nice inks@ finally ;)
Still waiting for mine to land in the U.K. good to here they are delivering the feels.

DJ Muggs the Black Goat - Dies Occidendum

Much like Muggs hip-hop production this is a huge platter of various genre's mixed and mashed together to create a dark and ominous tone. Also like his hip-hop production it feels like it's over way too soon. A great project, love the art and the cool booklet that came with it. This is the Sacred Bones limited something or other, out of 500. I surprisingly got 4/500, don't think I've ever got something numbered so low, kinda neat even if it's just arbitrary.

I love this record but also its SO short. 27 minutes :( i want more haha

And at least 3 minutes of that 27 is crickets and fire crackling. But yeah, I've been listening to it a lot over the last two weeks.
