"Stormy Weather" deluxe... now if only Bruce could get access to Leo's library and continue where Marilee Bradford and George Feltenstein stopped 
Speaking of Marilee Bradford, how about her allowing Kritzerland or some other label to release David Raksin's score to SEPARATE TABLES. It has been confirmed that she has the music elements to this beautiful score.
I have tried, believe me.

How about Franz Waxman at MGM including Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? How about Max Steiner at WB? etc.
But would they sell?
Golden Age film music has customers, but albums of music from 1940s scores would not sell in numbers as large as sales from Danny Elfman's BATMAN, for example.
Personally, I feel that lackluster sales figures should not obstruct such vintage music from continuing to be released.
Perhaps a more constructive query would ask not so much about how many copies could be sold but, rather, how to accrue interest amongst the soundtrack community in vintage musical styles and recording elements that have existed for decades prior to when most of us have been born.
A daunting task, to be sure, but a valid concern (especially considering that, as enthusiasts for Golden Age music pass away, such enthusiasm is not being reproduced via subsequent generations).

Here is a thought: Would you guys pay $30 for a Golden Age release limited to 1000 units? It is a something we have seriously considered. These releases can be quite expensive, in some cases MORE expensive than a recent score. At the end of the day we are still a business and need to keep our doors open.
Just something to ponder on.

For scores that we thought we would never see, how could any golden age fan be upset by such a minimal increase in price ? The price of a six inch Subway sandwich once or twice a month. Or even 3 times a month. MV,go for it ! Please.
Wow, how lovely of a another label to post such a self-serving thing in a Kritzerland thread. Here's the promise from the label whose thread this is: We will NEVER EVER charge thirty bucks for a CD. The End.

MV, I'd be willing to pay $30 for a golden age CD if the market is that limited. It's better than NO golden age CDs. I'm sure there are still many golden age scores that could be issued from MGM, WB, Fox, Paramount, Universal etc. I would think most golden age fans would pay $30 for Franz Waxman's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or Max Steiner's The Hanging Tree if the elements still exist.
MV, perhaps you should have started a new topic about this and not make this comment on Bruce's thread.
MV and Bruce, please keep the golden age alive!
