I grew up enjoying these golden age films, so I love the scores (& I really love those RCA Classic Film Score records), but...would I be interested in 30s & 40s mono scores from acetates or optical tracks...no not really. What I've loved are all those 50s films scores in stereo & sounding great, & we've had lots of those these last 20 years (nearly all Fox & MGM), & they're a bit thin on the ground these days (I wonder if the barrel is empty?) There's still lots of sixties stuff I'd like, ost & album releases, I wonder how much of that is still to come? I don't expect La-La to lose money making me happy, luckily I have a lot of great soundtracks to enjoy, I hardly buy anything these days - maybe the next thing I buy will be The Towering Inferno from LLL next year, yes a very, very small niche market.

I've got it!
You make combos. You take "Zombeavers 2" and put it on one CD and the second CD has a Golden Age score, and sell it as a set. Now people have to chocie to to expand their fucking minds a little musically. ;-)
It reminds me of what somebody said at another forum I post at. I'm paraphrasing because I couldn't find the exact quote, but it was something like:
Fuck your tastes, go listen to Bach. You're welcome.

You still need to pay for transferring, mastering and someone to produce it. Thats the expensive part.
Plus, no one cares about older scores via download. We made more money on Zombeavers than we did in the first 3 volumes of Star Trek the original series.
Guys, lets face it -- Golden Age scores are a niche of a niche of a niche.

This information I call a real "Hour of Truth".
I have the "Zombeavers" score CD; yes a nice score.
But no serious concurrence for STAR TREK TOS(my very subjective opinion) !
Your little information, let me feel like Neo in THE MATRIX; this can't be reality !
Okay, since some time I knew, that this day will come sometime in the future; but I hoped,
that this day will be 5-10 years away from now.
This is now definitely a turning point in the time for all fans of Gold & Silver Age soundtracks.
My expectations of future Gold & Silver Age score releases sinks radical !
It seems, we must call this soundtracks in the future, the DARK AGE scores.
But I see a little hope. There are some scores, that find their consumers;
for example: SHANE(Víctor Young/2000 CD's) and GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL(Tiomkin/2000 CD's).
Both scores are now sold out.
The big question is: Which other old scores, have the same appeal for a wide range of different collectors ?
Tiomkin's THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY may be a right score.
The film is an early disaster movie, THE DUKE(John Wayne) is on board, the dramatic score is
a Academy Award winner ...
This may be the right kind of score, for a wide range of different collectors.
Also THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS from Franz Waxman(+Roy Webb & Ray Heindorf),
again a aviation adventure film, with excellent dramatic score ...
I think, a small numbers of such scores to prominent films, can reach the finish of a CD release.
But only within the next few years; then it's too late due to lack of enough buyers ...
And not to forget Alfred Newman's AIRPORT(again a aviation disaster movie with star cast);
and of course the more modern scores from the sequels.
I hope after the JAWS release series last year, that INTRADA will start someday in the future an
AIRPORT release series too.
The films are from UNIVERSAL, the AIRPORT 1975 score from John Carcavas was released
on LP from MCA(in Japan also on CD). So I think, this scores will come from INTRADA someday ...
There are of course a lot of more good scores from Golden Age composer like Steiner, Waxman,
Tiomkin, Young, etc.
It break my heart, to accept, that many of this scores will never released on CD.
But again: Which scores have the appeal to find more consumers, as specialized collectors
of this composers ?
Only a name like Newman, Waxman, Steiner, Tiomkin, etc. is not enough today ...
