And the way to address that is to post pictures like YOR?

Guys,
There are plenty of other great labels out there to release some of the Golden Age titles. I would rather Bruce release a Victor Young and he would rather us release a Jablonsky. Doug and Roger are more apt to release a Mancini while we would prefer an Elfman. Every so often we do a Golden Oldie and Kritzerland explores the 90's. Nothing is set in stone. A DAY OF THE DEAD will always outsell a CERTAIN SMILE...not because its a better score, it's because those with a disposable income and deep love of the film will snatch it up in a heart beep. And, as cold as it sounds, those folks are still alive, while a lot of older collectors are no longer with us. Musical tastes change with each generation. There are some old souls out there, but they are few. If I had boatloads of cash I would release 20 scores a week from every age until there was nothing to release regardless if they sold or not. I love it all (well, most of it), but I have to be fiscally responsible for my company, my employees and my family.
We are working on some great Golden Age scores currently...one will be one of our BLACK FRIDAY titles. 2014 will see some great titles from us that aren't just from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today. I adore Tiomkin, Herrmann, Waxman, and Korngold. However, Newman, North, Steiner and Rozsa are hit and miss for me. I find them either brilliant or bland. It stands to reason that some of their works are bland simply because they scored so many damn pics back in the day! Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good. You guys think Horner rips himself off all the time? Have you heard more than 10 Rozsa scores? lol! Then there are some unsung heroes like Salter, Skinner, and Stothart who barely have anything out there. Then again, most of their works are most likely lost to the ages.
Matt and I do this job 24/7. This is all there is (we gave up the gigolo job when we hit our mid 30's). This isn't a hobby for us nor is it a part time gig. It's this or nothing. At the end of the day we run a business. We have a much larger overhead than most labels, so we need to make sure we release stuff that sells more than 1000 units. Sorry if you don't like the answer, but its the cold hard truth.

Thanks for taking the time for a reply MV. And thanks for the amazing SHANE cd and for planning some more golden age cds for the future.
By the way, I never meet a Max Steiner score I didn't like!
