CBS COLLECTION 072 UCLA - Film Score Rundowns

curious. I even wonder if now those transcription discs that were returned to UCLA
somehow ended up at Paramount? SPFM was intimately involved with activities at the
Paramount music department. Perhaps I’ll investigate further. Unfortunately with
changes of personnel at UCLA, detailed “hands-on” information gets lost in the process.
The best staff man ever on the job there when I was researching for years and who was
immensely helpful to me and pleasant to know eventually left sometime in the middecade
(he was still there at least in 2003 because that’s when the Deed of Gift #2
materials, in part, were first made available, and he pulled a dozen boxes or so for me).
Right now as I write there is a temporary Reading Room right there at SRLF
(Southern Regional Library Facility) where the CBS materials are stored off-site from the
University proper. The address is 305 DeNeve Dr along the corner of Veterans and
Montana (Montana changes to Gayley up the road). I’ve never been there but ideally I
would love to go there and have permission to peruse all of the boxes in storage that I
wanted to research for a week. Maybe in September or October when I take vacations. In
the meantime, I’ll see if that’s possible top make such a spot inventory. If so, then I’ll
update this paper later in the year! I have just posted a message to the Performing Arts
Library to find out:

CBS DATS
30 CBS DATS at UCLA Music Library Special Collections
(initially received from SPFM December 1997)
[Note: SPFM (Society for the Preservation of Film Music) hired audio engineer
Chris Lembesis to clean and transfer the CBS transcription discs to DAT format around
1993, under the supervision or involvement of at least three members (according to the
May-June 1993 SPFM NEWSLETTER). The discs were in SPFM's possession (not
ownership, since UCLA was given ownership of all CBS materials under two Deeds of
Gifts in 1989 and 1991). The discs were returned to UCLA in December 1997 and a copy
of the DATS were made for UCLA]
