I'm just interested in what made BSX choose this particular release - was it the easiest one to get hold of
It took 2 years and the reason we wanted to do it.
We love Vampire Movies and we happen to really love this one.

Did you mean that TD has no rights to just this particular score, or their other film scores too? I'm guessing those rights in general reside all over the place? I'm just interested in what made BSX choose this particular release - was it the easiest one to get hold of 
Well, I guess the film company (F/M) or the label that released the soundtrack the first time around (Varese/Silva) has some rights, but what do I know...
I was under the impression that the composer has no rights to the score after they have been paid and handed the score over to the director?
And of course there is/was a connection between Silva Screen and Buysoundtrax.

I have searched and searched for my topic on Stone's SUNDOWN and can't find . If I had found it, I would have brought it back up as a reminder to buy this score.
This is an AMAZING score. Someone mentioned it about 8 years ago and that it could be bought for a few dollars at Amazon, so "sound unheard" I bought it. WOW! It was a great CD. Then, all of a sudden, it became rare and VERY costly. BSX is now offering it at a great price.
It is rich with action music and amazing themes. It certainly pays homage to Elmer Bernstein's signature western rhythms first heard in The Magnificent Seven. It also has cuts echoing Morricone's western sounds, and it has Stone's own original voice. I play it often. I could barely stand watching the movie. This is a score that belonged behind an excellent western, and I think if it had underscored a better movie, all of you would have heard of it.
Great buy and great score!!
Yeah, I remember you raved about it several years ago, Joan. When I see that title, I think of you.
NEAR DARK is nice. I never got around to picking up the old release. Now I have the chance.

Do so. It's a nice length, about 35 mins.
The CD runs about 46:52.

I'm excited about the Sundown reissue. It's a score I've heard a lot of good things about (and I know that Stone is talented) but have never gotten because the original release is so scarce/expensive. To have it (hopefully) remastered with new notes is awesome.

It's one of my personal favorite projects I've ever worked on.
Richard was a great guy who was taken from us far too soon.

I figured the situation varies with every score. SOme composers retain some rights, others don't... I could be completely wrong!
No, you are most probably right.

About the Near Dark tracks - Caleb's Blues is by many (me included) regarded as a low-point in TD's career - electronic blues just doesn't function - but tracks like Rain In The Third House and Goodtimes are very enjoyable:
