I'm so very sorry if this has been brought up (probably has by mine own handle), but does anything have any insight or think we'll ever see a complete release of this kitsch score? Williams would certainly go on to greater scores (right after this one, as a matter of fact) but this one has a place in Cinema and music history too. I know Intrada is heavy in to 70s scores AND Universal...still you'd think there might've been a release by now. Wonder what John himself thinks...
Or is this in the same lifeboat as his own "Dracula"...

Thor, do you ever think about posts like the above?
Yes, let's all go searching for old threads to read Thor's disinterest in a new Earthquake cd!
Jesus. ...get some air, have a drink, or listen to a suite of something.

Just curious, how is "Earthquake" any more "kitsch" than "Star Wars" or any of Williams' Spielberg scores?
...and don't forget the "Harry Potter" scores--  Sorry, I'm not trying to pick either, but a huge bulk of Williams' career has been scoring "pop culture-kitsch."
Love his "Earthquake" score and would love a comprehensive release. Hard to believe this one's such a hard mountain to climb, but if someone's got the rights in perpetuity...

Why is "Earthquake" supposed to be kitsch and not great? Is this the foul stench of snobbery I smell?
D.S.
I must have been confused or misunderstood. I LOVE this score. I meant that kitsch in the sense of it appeals to select individuals as it's very reflective of it's time, more like it's adjective of Kitschy.
Once again - I meant NO disrespect to the score. I think may have misspoken a bit. I adore this score and have been on the lookout for it for MANY YEARS since Intrada started their special collections series years ago. I would not call anything Williams did anything below brilliant and I CERTAINLY would never care to offend anyone or Williams himself with regards to the film or it's music. I love them both.
So sorry to have sparked a bit of conflict! I AM, however, very appreciative of the prompt responses and did not know there were that many threads that related to the subject at hand. I did disclaim in my original post that I understood there had been people who brought it up before.
My intention to re-post was an inquiry to the status of things - has anybody heard what's going on with the masters, any news on a label that owns the right, et al.
Thanks and carry on...

So does anyone have an answer to the actual question?
