Author	Topic: Total Recall Rerelease!

BobaMike Oscar® Winner	Dunno if this is old news here or not, but Varese is going to be rereleasing TOTAL RECALL! No word if it will expanded, but I hope it will. The bootleg is awesome! BobaMike

Hard Target Oscar® Winner	TOTAL RECALL, I don't think so and I doubt they'd reissue it because their rights to the score have already lapsed so they wouldn't do it. It would have to be Intrada or Promethius to release it. First Blood is the one Varese is re-issueing in Sept and with no clues as to extra music. And it would definetly be nice to see a new issue of it.

sabbey Oscar® Winner	Well, according to an message on Filmus-L, it sounded as Varese is indeed releasing it, and an expanded one at that! Though I'll wait till I hear more on it, before I get my hopes up. Regards, Sean Robert Abbey

Darth Fart Oscar® Winner	PLEASE, I'm desperate for an expanded CD. I'm thinking Raiders of the Lost Ark again!

SBD Oscar® Winner	Does anyone know (in years) how long a record label has the rights to a score?

Hard Target Oscar® Winner	The most a record company can have a score on their contract is 10 years. Which means that after those 10 years are up, anyone can pick up the score either dirt cheap the was it is now or expand it plus pay extra reuse fees. Most companies prefer the way it was originally issued like the recent Chapter 3 releases because it's more economicial that way and not having to lose more money than they're putting on extra blocks of music. But the original label who puts out the original album also has an option of picking up that particular soundtrack again. Though I doubt they'll reissue Total Recall, it's theseable that Varese will expand it and reissue it as special edition cd. Hint:Think Varese Club.

majestyx Oscar® Winner	Perhaps I'm the only one who feels this way, but give me some stuff that HASN'T been released already in some form. Expanded this, complete that...what a joke! If there's going to be a complete or expanded release, I'd love to see one for Williams' 1979 DRACULA score. This score has seen no leaking of additional music that I know of, even though there seems to be plenty of other John Williams' unreleased score music making the rounds like the Indy flicks, Black Sunday, Jane Eyre, Towering Inferno, etc. All this re-issuing of the same stuff is getting monotonous. High Road to China, Coma, Logan's Run...gimme something to get excited about instead of re-hashing the past. How about bringing out items that haven't ever seen a score release at all? Yeah, yeah, I know - it's gotta be feasible for a record label to pursue or the rights to issue some of this music is unattainable. I've heard THAT enough times. Film scores are getting as bad as rock and pop CDs with their "re-masters". Oh, you mean it sucked the first time you released it, but now you want me to pay MORE money for what you should have done right the first time!? Oh, you coouldn't afford to place ALL the music on it the first time but you can now!? What a joke! While tapes of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly lie wasting away in the RCA Library, we get re-issues the same stuff that's been out for ten years or more. Zzzz... How about a REAL Predator release with all the music, including the 10 or so minutes that wasn't on the boot? This has seen TWO bootleg pressings and fetches prices of at least $100 a pop these days on auction. This looks like a no brainer to me. What Predator score fan wouldn't pay a premium price (like $35) for a nice complete limited edition (ala Varese or Prometheus Club) of this score made from the original master tapes? It's not like people aren't already paying this price for a bootleg of it! Or how about more recent scores like Mystery Men (which has a pathetic CDR bootleg already) or Final Destination? The higher price per disc COULD help offset the cost of acquiring the rights. Since I'm no record label accountant, I don't know exactly how much the price would have to be, but I could certainly see score fans paying the higher price for a legit copy. Oh yeah, if Total Recall DOES get re-released in the same format as the Varese issue, I can't see it being a big seller. It's not like it's fetching all that high a price so as it is.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	It's not fetching a high price now because it was so popular that many copies are still floating around. It's one of Varese's perennials. I'm sure an expanded version would do at least as well as Silva's expanded RAMBO II. (But how well did that do? I don't know. But Goldsmith's three bestsellers in the past twenty years have been STAR TREK - TMP, RAMBO II and TOTAL RECALL. The only reason I'd see for NOT expanding TOTAL RECALL is the fact that the expanded BOOTLEG has been floating around for long enough to queer the whole market.)

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Well, I personally have loved the recent re-releases (such as Coma, Last Run, Logan's Run, Wild Rovers) since I did not have the opportunity to purchase the scores when the original releases were out.

Darth Fart Oscar® Winner	Not everyone has been collecting scores for that long, that's why these reissues are exciting. No one forces anyone to buy them, but I see your point. I'm desperate for a reissue of Good, Bad and Ugly.

Swashbuckler Oscar® Winner	If this was true, I'd be ecstatic. But I doubt that the album is being expanded; Varese recently re-issued The Grifters and it was the same album as previously available. I'd love to hear the music for Tuco and his brother in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, among other things... I also love that bouncy version of the title music heard as Tuco tracks down Blondie.
