FLAW IN LOGIC

In this case we released the album master that HE HAD PRODUCED for RHINO RECORDS in 1980....

The same thing happened when he PRODUCED himself the release of HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP.

He might have thought of that better later, but he was the one who put it together and allow it's release in the first place.

In Short, the cows have left the barn already.

We weren't the ones who released i in the first place.

Okay, Ford since you say your memory is working well here, how about we talk about Babylon 5? You know when you were releasing music going behind the composers back?

You know, I could at least respect MV's opinion, but you, well you have some gall in this area to even be talking about respecting composers.

Oh someone is upset now..

As for that topic, OLD NEWS and a topic for a different forum..

You know when you were releasing music going behind the composers back?

As I recall I produced for Supertracks release of NIGHT OF THE RUNNING MAN by Chris Franke, it was licensed from the copyright owner who wanted it out.

They gave us the masters and Supertracks released it.

Later I did mention that to Chris when I was working for SONIC IMAGES and it was something that he really didn't care about about one way or the other and his label, SONIC IMAGES his label had no interest in releasing it.

So I don't think he had any issues that he ever expressed to me.

Fanboy logic is so odd...

Facts have little do with it.

Typical. Divert the conversation someplace else. BTW, I'm not talking about the copyright holder. I'm talking about THE COMPOSER. As that is where this started.

Hilarious. You never surprise me Ford. Keep up the good work.

It's called the facts and history.

Something clearly you have an issue with grasping.

The bottomline is that you don't give a fuck if the composer doesn't want something out, you just want what you want don't clear if you disrespect someone in order to get what YOU WANT.

Selfish and arrogant.

Look, people do change their minds over the years.

If you wish to track down Mr. Best and ask him about it, by all means do so.

Who knows you might change his mind....

Just be polite when you are asking.

You're version.

The funny thing is you don't either, as history has shown.

And yes, I really don't for something I will pay money for. I find it hilarious you think that is disrespecting someone and not supporting their work.

I just might. I would write him a letter saying how much I enjoy his music and would love to listen to it away from the film. I wouldn't go behind his back and get the music for my own to reuse and distribute like the HYPOCRITE you are.

Yes, but I was there, you weren't...

Am I mistaken?

I'm not in the mood to have a fight with a fanboy, so have a good night over this nonsense tonight.

But of course you can't say who these folks are and you have a habit not signing your real name.

Also by your own admission you are going on 2nd or third hand information from UN-NAMED Sources who you CLAIM to have been there while not even being able to sign your name to these posts, so it does 't make you very credible now does it while hiding behind your keyboard. it just makes you out to be the bitter fanboy you are.


Now folks you can return to your discussion of "Crocodile Dundee 2 Soundtrack"

Good Night

And if the composer doesn't agree with you, should we ignore him?

Ford A. Thaxton


Yes, this music is for the fans, not for a composer's whim.
Composers have been payed for their job in film music business.
When a music became a film score, the owner is no longer its composer, but the editor who have payed for it.

Only editors, owning the master tapes, should be able to decide if do print or do not print music for the audience.
These are my 2 cents.

So if the person who composed the work says "this is one I'd rather not release"FUCK HIM (OR HER) I want what I want!"

That about sums up your viewpoint?

It's nice that you show such respect to those who create the music you love so much..

It's not about the respect, it's about THE BUSINESS.
Did composers got the money? Well, the baby is no long their affair, they SOLD their rights. They GOT lots of money for that.
Did a composer payed on his own to produce his music score, and never has sold the masters and the rights to an editor / label / major? In that case he could say "Hell! No cd for My crap music", it is his right. But in that case, so less money for him! He didn't sold the right, he can decide, but very few money for him, he takes all the risks of the business!

For that reason composers always prefer to sell the rights to editors and get much more money (and quickly), didn't they? Good, but they should shut up after that; if the score will be print and they are not proud of it, they should do not care about it, because it's no longer their business!

Your money, Your business, You decide.
My money, my business, I decide.
Respect for fans and music lovers please!
No music lovers = no need of composers!

IMHO.
