Max Steiner, The Caine Mutiny
This album was a half-dialog, half-soundtrack. It was scrapped after novel writer Herman Wouk decided to avoid having the studio use his job again if they published the record. He was furious when he saw the novel lifted verbatim. That was why he and Columbia decided to avoid the release and delete all the copies they made. However, some workers preserved several originals. One edition went for $6,700 in 2007.
