  • [Synth/Ambient/Modern Classical/Electronic/Orchestration/OST] Here are all the rare unreleased scores for the film "Working Girl" by Carly Simon and Rob Mounsey. I find it shocking that the marketed commercial release for the film soundtrack didn't contain any of these scores presented in this video (not to mention the marketed album barely contained any of the actual scores heard in the film as well). To me, these scores are what define the movie so it's quite odd that they weren't included on the actual OST album which was released in 1989. I assume it's probably because Rob Mounsey didn't feel the need to add 20 sec scores to a commercial pressing (which is understandable) but never the less consider this video as an EXPANDED release of the OST soundtrack. Working Girl is a 1988 romantic comedy drama film directed by Mike Nichols and written by Kevin Wade. It tells the story of a Staten Island-raised secretary, Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith), working in the mergers and acquisitions department of a Wall Street investment bank. When her boss, Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver), breaks her leg skiing, Tess uses Parker's absence and connections, including her errant beau Jack Trainer (Harrison Ford), to put forward her own idea for a merger deal. The film's main theme "Let the River Run" was written and performed by American singer songwriter Carly Simon, and won her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Grammy Award for Best Song. The song reached peak positions of #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #11 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in early 1989. Working Girl was released on December 23, 1988 in 1,051 theaters and grossed US $4.7 million on its opening weekend. It went on to make $63.8 million in North America and $39.2 million in the rest of the world for a worldwide total of $103 million. The film received positive reviews from critics with an 84% rating at Rotten Tomatoes and a 73 metascore at Metacritic. The marketed official album titled: "Original Soundtrack Album" was a huge success when it was released on August 29th 1989 by Arista Records, and it peaked at #45 on the Billboard 200. Me personally, i hate the marketed Arista soundtrack, it lacks a lot of the powerful scores conducted by Rob Mounsey and any fan of the movie knows that the Mounsey scores are what MADE the film. As a result, i am happy to bring you guys these rare scores as a way of honoring Mounsey and Simon's impressive score material that was conducted solely for the film. This complete OST soundtrack score is unreleased but the official soundtrack was released by Arista Records '89.
    (Note: This video solely contains all the rare unreleased scores that weren't on the official soundtrack. I also included the "Let The River Run" by The St. Thomas Choir Of Men And Boys as a bonus track which can also be found on the marketed Arista Records album. The tracks are also arranged in order from when you hear them in the film ....enjoy!)

    1) "Let The River Run (Opening Credits)" (0:10)
    2) "Insulting David Lutz" (2:20)

    9) "Tess's Plan Into Action" (8:45)
    10) "Finishing All The Chores" (9:33)
    11) "That Little Slut!" (10:39)

    Thank you for all the kind words. Of course, I had no input at all into the making of the soundtrack album. Also, most of these score cues are very short, and don't really work well standing alone on a record. It was an interesting time.

      The cue at @11:39 is so simple, beautiful and powerful. I love that long holding shot of Tess feeling defeated and this piece of music together. I'm a fan.

    I was in NYC a few years ago now and I caught the Staten Island ferry and we sailed past the Statue of Liberty. I couldn't help but hear the 11:39 "Back to Square One" theme in my head and it actually made me emotional. It's a beautiful little piece of music and I could imagine people having a rough day at work like Tess had and then getting the ferry back home to Staten Island. Thanks for uploading this! So hard to find this great soundtrack in full anywhere online which is a real shame.

    I grew up with the 80s. With their creativity in nobody else and their caricatural drift having led them to their loss and to the current musical disaster … However, this decade stays part of all the others at the artistic level and this movie is one of unforgettable nuggets there, as only the Americans know how to produce it. I had to see it 40 times at least.
    YET apparently, neither Mike Nichols nor his team, and certainly no actors of the trio of top of the bill, expected the global success of the movie. Certainly they had written, played and produced an excellent movie but that remained a small movie of dramatic comedy, chronicle of customs, jubilant and fascinating because symbolic of period, but I think that even for the producers having believed in the project, that stopped there. Ford usual state of this kind of performance except its blockbusters, as he also made it for example, with the magnificent "About Henry". Nevertheless America being what it is, and its cinema being this effective industry which everybody knows, they had for all that made compose a magnificent title, "Let The River Run", but who was intended apparently only to remain a music movie theme and not a single, on any account a hit.
    The success of the movie questioned everything it seems to me, because the fantastic music of beginning credits and the end, with this prodigious choir way gospel, remained only a product of registered again studio, with clip suited in the key, completely prefabricated, totally smoothed, without soul, with omnipresent Carly Simon whereas the choir and the voicesof head of background had almost disappeared, for the benefit of an indigestible saturated guitar and of a drum kit slowed down instead of the groovies percussions of the movie. Immense disappointment. Just like the end of the 80s which tried to level down everything to create at all costs tubes of mass, by betting only on the gregarious to please the largest number. Until the inevitable happened: We killed the goose that lays the golden eggs. But it's another story.
    This is the way it was never possible to benefit in full from the song such as heard in the movie. Only 45-rpm rewritten and registered later.
    And that for me, saddened, but that was not possible!
    I captured on-line the audio of the beginning credits then the audio of the end credits of the movie and I cut them, jointed, molten together. A puzzle … I listened to and viewed a large number of files to choose the best in my ear. I tried as good as possible to equalize the volume and the bass-trebels of both parts, tried to reduce the background noises, etc., to amplify the signal, to densify the music, etc., etc., then I spent everything in stereo and finally, I pulled compatible Lossless M4a iTunes Mac/PC, which you can listen to as well on your computer, your mobile, on a WiFi surrounding speaker, or to burn it on a CD to play it on your laser assembly. I tested everything: for me, the result is totally satisfactory Certainly, it is not purely completed, but it is more than convincing.
    It is the object of this long speech and this comment: I put the file on a online server division on whom I am subscribed for you to offer it in download … To you to tell me if it is a beautiful present or not! In any event, to my knowledge it’s unique: it has never existed on web …
    Very cordially to all the lovers of real musics and the real movies,
    Neum

    Thanks for this🙏 I had the WG soundtrack on vinyl and the only worthwhile parts of it were Carly's tracks, of which, as you say, there weren't sufficient number. I actually found this post while searching for ANYthing related to the Carly Simon score for Postcards from the Edge. I have been able to find absolutely nothing..officially released or even fan-posted on UA-cam. This seems so crazy considering her score was even Bafta nominated. I don't know how you accessed these tracks , but is there any chance you would be interested in doing something similar for Postcards?? I do get regularly peeved about how often wonderful movie scores are not available at all, even when there IS a so called soundtrack album.
