How did SAE/BYU manage to get a license from Disney to reissue this so quickly?
More to the point, how did they manage to get a license from Disney, period? They seem notoriously slow and I thought Intrada was the only label they were willing to work with, or has something changed?
"Those Calloways" is coming back in November from SAE & BYU:
Nice cover art! Are the contents the same?
The contents are almost the same. The "Rhyme Around" track is the original cast on our CD. In the previous issue it was a demo track with a studio group. Second, there was a track included on the previous issue that was actually a repeat ( a pick-up) from an earlier part of the score. So we have not included that track. It did not appear in film and, in fact, another cue was repeated and tracked into that sequence. The scene was the second fight between Brandon de Wilde and Tom Skerritt.
Finally, we have a studio demo recording of Max's song "Angel". This recording was among Max's acetates and is not part of the studio tracks supplied by Disney.
Our lavish booklet includes an introduction by my old Sons of the Desert comrade Leonard Maltin (he was our Keeper of the Celluloid when I joined in 1972!).
Good to see this cd now available again for those who missed it. It's a very colorful and beautiful score by Max. I hope it's not too "bland" for a few people on this board.
Ray, please try to issue a few more Steiner scores. In recent years we have had only a few cds with "Music by Max Steiner."

Intrada's issue sold out of its run relatively quickly, so I'm excited to see this come back into print -- especially since I thought no one could deal with Disney but them (and maybe Varese). Can you tell us more about that, Ray? (and if any other Disney scores might be coming from SAE or BYU?)
I'm also thinking that even though Intrada usually does excellent and thorough booklets, both SAE and BYU usually do the most lavish booklets in the business (tied with Tribute) so I'm excited to see it!

Downright Thrilling news - Max Steiner always an event - the King!

" Max Steiner always an event - the King! " ......... I AGREE !!
The BYU/SAE booklet is superb. Not only with the graphics, but content information. James D'Arc had access to the Disney files and reading the memos about this score and how happy the film's makers were with the score, it is too bad Max's health and eyesight was getting worse and he would hang up his saddle shortly after.
And BYU has gone through Disney before with their release of Steiner's SINCE YOU WENT AWAY. Disney now owns that film and several other Selznick productions when they bought ABC several years go.

Is it known for sure that "Those Calloways" was Max Steiner's last score or was there one more to go after this?
Apologies in advance for duplication if this was clarified in bold elsewhere.

He composed TWO ON A GUILLOTINE after CALLOWAYS, but CALLOWAYS was released January 28, 1965, while GUILLOTINE was released January 13, 1965.

Thanks! Sure wish there was a definitive Max Steiner (and Jerry Goldsmith!) biography such as Steven C. Smith's Wonderful Bernard Herrmann book "A Heart at Fire's Center". It would be interesting to read the Max Steiner autobiography material.
