The film was released in November 1958 and was likely affected by the musicians' strike of that year.

I would love to own this score on a cd
Maybe Bruce Kimmel can help with that:
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=87979&forumID=1&archive=0
Has Bruce Kimmel (or anyone, for that matter) released a Warner Bros.-controlled (RKO, MGM, Allied Artists/Monogram,WBros) "Golden Age" score recently??? Offhand, I can't think of any.
It feels to me that something happened after Lukas Kendall/FSM---who had a pretty exclusive claim on this older WB/Turner material---closed-up shop and left the Warner Bros-licensing scene---the Rhino division, with whom Kendall worked, became quiet. Then WaterTower Records turned up and began licensing NEWER "old" material, but not OLDER "old" material.
I wonder if George Feltenstein (or someone similar at WBros) will one day issue a surprise press release announcing a new concept of "boutique" made-on-demand soundtrack discs a la "the Warner Archive" video division. This kind of development would allow WB to issue previously unreleased scores and musicals from the '30s, '40s, '50s (as well as reissues of selected Lukas and Rhino music masters), releasing a few each month and building a saleable library with only mastering costs---and not pressing or warehousing costs---involved.
Get yours now! The "WarnerMusic Archive".......only $19.95 for a CDr of "Marie Antoinette", "The Human Comedy", "Give a Girl a Break", "Les Girls", "Maytime", "The Picture of Dorian Gray".........

Warner Bros. has always been a problem it seems. Lukas once told me maybe 12 or more years ago that WB only wanted to do 2 golden age cds a year!
I too sure miss the FSM golden age cds from WB, MGM etc. Can't another label pick up this and issue even just a few WB golden age cds?
I don't know how much WB golden age music still exists, but there must be at least some Steiner, Waxman, Tiomkin etc. available.
If BYU is now unable to continue with their great Max Steiner cds, can't other labels issue even a few?
Have you considered the possibility that Warner Bros. wants its Max Steiner scores back via the acetates held at BYU, and that Warners is the problem with BYU continuing, not BYU?
I have a feeling that this is an issue of Warner Bros. gathering all its old filmmusic resources together (along with the Turner assets) under its own control, for a push (by WaterTower) to expand into the boutique soundtrack CD business within the Warner Archive Collection model.
I don't know why Manderley, but all the labels have given us no WB Max Steiner!
Just BYU have given us a great WB Steiner series of cds. The last one was The Letter, August of 2007! That was 7 years ago .......
We did get the amazing newly recorded Steiner cds from John Morgan and Bill Stromberg. I'm grateful for that.
Well, maybe in the future we will see some WB Max ........
