The Digital Film Score Series, released on the British Independent Label, Unicorn-Kanchana, were dedicated to Bernard Herrmann in acknowledgement of his unique contribution to the art of music in the cinema. The liner notes on the rear cover of this release are an indepth look into the life and works of this master craftsman.
 

Bernard Herrmann (born Max Herman; June 29, 1911 – December 24, 1975) was an American composer best known for his work in composing for motion pictures. As a conductor, he championed the music of lesser-known composers.
An Academy Award-winner (for The Devil and Daniel Webster, 1941; later renamed All That Money Can Buy), Herrmann is particularly known for his collaborations with director Alfred Hitchcock, most famously Psycho, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo. He also composed scores for many other films, including Citizen Kane, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Cape Fear, and Taxi Driver. He worked extensively in radio drama (composing for Orson Welles), composed the scores for several fantasy films by Ray Harryhausen, and many TV programs, including Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone and Have Gun – Will Travel.
Dougal's Random Fact!!  Bernard Herrmann passed away the day that he finished the score for Taxi Driver.
Herrmann's last film scores included Sisters and Obsession for Brian De Palma. His final film soundtrack, and the last work he completed before his death, was his sombre score for Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese. It was De Palma who had suggested to Scorsese to use the composer. Immediately after finishing the recording of the Taxi Driver soundtrack on December 23, 1975, Herrmann viewed the rough cut of what was to be his next film assignment, Larry Cohen's God Told Me To, and then dined with Cohen. He returned to his hotel, and died from an apparent heart attack in his sleep. Scorsese and Cohen both dedicated their respective films in his memory.
North by Northwest is a 1959 American thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason.The screenplay was by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures".
North by Northwest is a tale of mistaken identity, with an innocent man pursued across the United States by agents of a mysterious organization trying to prevent him from blocking their plan to smuggle out microfilm that contains government secrets. This is one of several Hitchcock films that features a music score by Bernard Herrmann and an opening title sequence by graphic designer Saul Bass. This film is generally cited as the first to feature extended use of kinetic typography in its opening credits.
North by Northwest is listed among the canonical Hitchcock films of the 1950s and is often listed as being among the greatest films of all time. It was selected in 1995 for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress, as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
    Hello there music lover,
I'm Dougal, and I bid you welcome to only_vinyl. My aim is to provide the customer with a store that they know can be trusted to provide them with an enjoyable and stress free shopping experience. Trusting that they are receiving completely honest descriptions & gradings, on an ever expanding array of eclectic genres, artists and titles. All with the knowledge that they are protected from any potential problems or issues by our 100% Money Back Guarantee, including the costs of return postage.    It has taken me far longer than I had hoped, or expected, but we are hoping to get our new venture up and running over the next month or so. I am the custodian of a storage facility which currently houses an conservatively estimated 50,000 + albums, all which have been accumulated/hoarded/collected over the last 35 years. Obviously it's going to take me an eternity to get them all listed here, but believe me when I say it will be worth the wait. There will eventually be something available to suit everyone's taste, so please save me to your favourite sellers list, and keep an eye on the store because you just never know what will become available each day,
Each month I will have around 200 albums delivered to me, which I will then sort through, catalogue, clean, grade then list. I will make every effort to ensure that the information I supply for each listing is 100% correct, and that any anomalies are highlighted. I use a combination of 5 different web sites to ensure the the information I supply in the listing is as accurate as possible, so please forgive any incorrect details. I do perform my due diligence, I ask that you do the same. All this work is being done outside of 'normal' office hours. The current listings are obviously from my first delivery. Genres will vary from month to month, so be sure to keep checking the site for new gems.
Please note that my gradings are visual only. I will always be honest with my appraisals and highlight any issues or flaws. I am very pedantic and I assess/grade the vinyl (& sleeve) from a buyers perspective. I call it as I see it, but will err on the side of caution. Current market trends, sales history of album/pressing, condition of item and availability within the market place, are all factors which are considered prior to pricing every album. I won't waste my time or yours with any intentional misleading information. Please use the supplied photos to make an informed opinion for yourself. I understand that everyone has their own preferred method of cleaning vinyl, so I will hand clean each album and then supply a new inner and outer protective sleeve, prior to it's journey to you. 
For the customers protection we offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee with every album sold here at only_vinyl, and we will even cover the cost of the return postage. So once your package is delivered and you have a chance to inspect your goods, If you are not happy with your purchase, just send me a message through eBay within 7 days of receipt of your goods, and clearly provide me with details of the problem. I will send you money through paypal to cover the cost of the return postage to me. When the album arrives back to me, I will make a full refund of the purchase price into your nominated paypal account. We would like our customers to have the peace of mind that when they shop with only_vinyl, it will be a hassle free experience.
I currently dedicate approximately 2 - 3 hours each evening, plus the entire weekend, to maintaining the upkeep of only_vinyl (yes, I have no life!!), so please forgive me if I don't respond to your messages immediately. I will endeavour to get back to you in a timely manner and all of your enquiries will be attended to.
