JEC Oscar® Winner	Screenarchives has a clip posted from the main title. It sounds like a rerecording to me(?).

TimT Oscar® Winner	Yeah that most definetly is not the original recording, or perhaps the original LP release was not the original recording but this is. This is slightly faster than the LP. [Message edited by TimT on 02-07-2002]

PeterD Oscar® Winner	The new CD is from the original master tapes; you can read about it at the John Scott website: webhome.idirect.com/~rlevy/countdown_info.html Screen Archives is now taking pre-orders on it, so it must be getting very close to release.

BMikeJ Oscar® Winner	This album is not a rerecording. They are the original tracks, remastered. There's over 13 minutes of unreleased music. The new release of A Study In Terror is a new recording. As for the dvd, the only way to order it is through the company that's releasing the dvd, Pacific Family Entertainment. I posted something about the dvd over in the Just Movies section a couple weeks back and barely got a response from anyone.

Christian Madsen Oscar® Winner	Well it does sound different from the LP and bootleg.[/B][/QUOTE] The CD si not a bootleg. it was released by Casablance Records in Germany through agreement with the Soundtrack store "Tarantula Records". They just released it as a limited edition. Tarantula has done some other releases, which all are legal: -The Omen (Goldsmith) Released in 1988 BEFORE the Varese release. Not remastered LP transfer with poor sound. -Kara Ben Nemsi Effendi (Martin Bötcher) German Western (!) score. -Winnetou (Martin Bötcher) -Steiner: The Iron Cross 2 (Peter Thomas) -Greystoke (John Scott) Not to be confused with the bootleg from "Monkey Music". All titles were released in Germany in the late 80's and early 90's and they are all out of print and hard to find. For any information, visit there homepage (they have a record store in Hamburg) www.tarantula-records.com

JEC Oscar® Winner	The DVD has been delayed until the end of Feburary due to technical problems. [Message edited by JEC on 02-08-2002]

PeterD Oscar® Winner	Christian, if you go the John Scott website from the link I provided in my earlier posting on this thread, you'll see that Mr. Scott himself describes the Tarantula CD as a pirated bootleg. I think the explanation may lie in the fact that copyright laws are much more liberal in Europe than they are in the U.S.; what Tarantula did (without Scott's permission or profit, apparently) was probably legal in Germany, even though it would be considered illegal in the U.S. (which is why many of these European bootlegs aren't supposed to be sold in the U.S., although, of course, many of them are). Same thing with the "Greystoke" CD, which Scott says he is especially angry about. [Message edited by PeterD on 02-08-2002]

BMikeJ Oscar® Winner	As Peter has just mentioned, both Tarantula CDs of Greystoke and The Final Countdown are bootlegs. I don't care if they are considered legitimate by German law. Not only were they done without the permission of the rights holders but they were also done without John Scott's permission. John did not see a dime on either of these. He actually had to spend money to buy his own copy of The Final Countdown "release" from Tarantula. And we can thank Tarantula for stalling attempts at releasing Greystoke on CD legitimately.

I picked up a cassette of the MCA release off Ebay cheap and there's some dynamite music on there. I'd like to have the CD, but my only choices are mortgaging my home for the Japanese CD (has anyone ever seen one?) or buying the boot. Anyway, thanks for the clarification on THE FINAL COUNTDOWN being the original tracks. Ford Thaxton said over at FSM that it was going to be a rerecording. I can't wait to get it (and the DVD).

PeterD Oscar® Winner	Here's a webpage with info on the DVD; it might not be a bad idea for people who are thinking of buying it to get on this fellow's notification list, so you'll know if it works before ordering it: www.execpc.com/~sanborn/

This was originally going to be a Varese release, but then MCA released it domestically instead. If I remember, the lp even had the Varese number etched in the matrix. Roger
