Hey folks,
I love the commercial Kung-Fu TV soundtrack album issued on CD by FSM, but I would also love to see a soundtrack collection a bit like La-La's Wonder Woman, including the various TV versions of the theme, without voice-over.
Is there even the remotest possibility of this?
Cheers

I wish the CD was music-only in the first place, but perhaps the soundtrack recordings are missing.
God thanks, this information is wrong!
Lukas Kendell postet a few years ago in his "low quantitis report":
>>Like Hawaii Five-0, Kung Fu is a reissue of an LP from back in the day—which was all the rights we could get. If any enterprising label wants to do a collection of the original Jim Helms soundtracks, the stereo masters are available at Warner Bros. (as opposed to Warner Bros. Records).<<
So it is no problem for any label that is interested, to release a soundtrack score CD or CD-set.
And I think it would be a successful release.
Remember all the popular 70's Martial-Arts film soundtrack releases: THE BIG BOSS, GAME OF DEATH, ENTER THE DRAGON, etc.

I second this idea.

Well, I wouldn't say "no problem". Something prevented Lukas from releasing the music other than the LP presentation. More than likely the licensing fees didn't justify a release.

Hey, what do you know -- Bishop actually did the research on this back in July, so I'll just copy and paste his comment on it:
And here are two comments by Lukas Kendall on this matter:
...
The Kung Fu music-and-dialogue album was something we could license from Warner Bros. Records. I would love to do an extensive score-only album of the original TV recordings but that would have to be licensed separately from Warner Bros. Pictures. They are separate projects and just because we have done one doesn't mean we might not do the other later...but don't read anything into that comment because it's not in the works AT ALL. Sorry.
As for the music-and-dialogue album, this was a concept album that the composer himself produced...many people had it on vinyl and were very fond of it...and incidentally we did not find any masters that were not already mixed with the dialogue. So it's not like we had any kind of ability to take the dialogue out via remastering or any other such process.
