It is exciting to find an Intrada in the wild. I'll loved spotting Intrada's release of "The Conversation" in a Soho record shop in the 1990s.. In the glory days of HMV and Tower Records, I found the Intrada expansion (the original expansion) of "The Last Starfighter" in one of them.
Rob, you're firing up my memories of being a budding film music fanatic in the 90s. I adored Isham's A River Runs Through It, but haven't heard it in years, but that melody brought it all back. Also nice to hear some love for Patrick Doyle. I saw Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing ten times at the cinema in 1994, pretty much entirely for the bravura sequences highlighting Doyle's rapturous score.
Stanley & Iris is an underrated 5-star masterpiece. Those first three cues are some of the best melody writing the man has ever done! Superb score that, you're right, not to many people know of!
I used to sometimes find nice surprises of soundtracks in charity shops, but soooo much less these days. It's like they're stocking less and less music of any genre. But whenever I take a trip to a different town/city, I keep an eye out just on the off-chance. You got some good stuff there though ... seems to be quite a lot of British stuff - Fenton, Lock, Nyman, Hartley... "This is 'The Lover', by _miaow_." 😂

You know now that you mention it there is a lot of British stuff. I never considered that before.
The op shops near me have dried up too. Finding a soundtrack that isn't Titanic is a rarity.
"Stanley & Iris" was the first John Williams soundtrack to be a Varese Sarabande premiere release along with the movie...
