Yeah, I've been talking to a few of the record companies about Young Indy. I get the same answers - interested but busy.

Too bad Lukas couldn't keep FSM open for just one more title. smile

This is something that would surely sweep aside 75% of all the other releases, so busy is no excuse! smile

If we do have to wait much longer (say, a few years) for any more music, I'm hoping it's because around the release of Indiana Jones V (already dreaming, I know) there'll be a huge boxed set, something with a double-digit number of discs, containing every last bit of music from all five movies and every single installment of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles / The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. I mean, might as well dream big, right?

After the demoralising ST-TNG set, I don't think Lukas is in the mood for another box set.

Can't hurt to bump this - hopefully this is a doable project for one of the labels!

Unfortunately, Varese may hold the rights to these in perpetuity. Maybe the scores they didn't release, can be gotten.

Indiana Jones V... IMHO they need to give it a rest. I love the first 3 movies, but Crystal Skull was horrible.

It's worth noting that between the last few Indiana Jones videogames, the "clean" material on the Young Indy DVD releases (end credits sequences, music files for the interactive historical games), and a few other sources aside from the VS CDs, there's actually quite a bit of additional material available, though one has to do more work for it than one would if one could just buy some more nice CDs. Needless to say, that doesn't diminish my ongoing desire for full CD releases of all Indy music one bit, but it's a bit better than nothing, and I thought I'd mention it...

Unfortunately, Varese may hold the rights to these in perpetuity. Maybe the scores they didn't release, can be gotten.

Perhaps, though I'd think Lucasfilm probably has enough control over them that they could get them out if they wanted to, even via another label. Note one of my earlier posts from a year ago, where I referenced a discussion at The Raven. According to that thread, La La Land in fact expressed interest at one time but was too busy, while Intrada actually tried to do it about four years ago, but Lucasfilm wanted to combine rights for the TV show with those for the movies (which of course went to Concord), which suggests to me that Lucasfilm might like to eventually rerelease / release more of the show's music as part of some huge set that also included the film scores, and also that Concord might be the current rightsholder, though if so they obviously haven't done anything with it yet.

Indiana Jones V... IMHO they need to give it a rest. I love the first 3 movies, but Crystal Skull was horrible.

Well, you're not alone, at least; plenty of people certainly agree with you, though it's far from unanimous (the movie got decent reviews on the whole - check RottenTomatoes if you don't believe me - and great box office, and having seen the movie theatrically with an audience again less than three weeks ago, I can personally verify that it still draws an overall positive audience response). At any rate I don't think the issues with the fourth movie would necessarily apply to a fifth, as it had a difficult gestation under circumstances unique to it among the four extant films, and a fifth movie wouldn't necessarily undergo the same development path; most importantly it could well be written by someone other than David Koepp (all four of the movies had different scriptwriters, and there's no reason to think a fifth movie would necessarily be scripted by the guy who did the fourth).

IMO, the real problems with a potential fifth movie are George's difficulty in selecting a "MacGuffin" and Harrison's advancing age (not a problem for me personally, but likely an issue for at least some audience members, and consequently for whether the filmmakers decide it's worth pursuing).

Personally, I'd love another; I'd just hope that it'd have a different screenwriter and a different cinematographer than the fourth (though I also have to admit I'll go if it's made, no matter what). If nothing else (and to get back on topic), it'd probably somewhat increase the chances of more music being released from Young Indy and/or the previous four movies (of course, it'd also give us another movie with its own initial soundtrack release that would undoubtedly leave off stuff of its own, giving us even more missing Indy music to be frustrated over... razz )

I'd love to have Rosenthal's score for the first episode. That was one of the best scores of the 90s (for TV or otherwise).

As I recall the scores for the early episodes were recorded in San Francisco with the Skywalker Symphony -- presumably that is why they were never released on CD (scoring sessions for the later shows were moved to Munich, where there were no re-use fees).


Same here. I l loved Rosenthal's work on the premiere episode. Some of my favorite are the Arrival at Cairo Port and The Pyramids sequence. Wonderfully score. The Pancho Villa episode has also some wonderful Mexican cues that I enjoyed.

I once asked M V Gerhard to do the series and he replied that he would love to do it. So I hope this happens as a proper box set.

The varese cd sets were great too but again missing some great travelogue cues which I hope gets addressed when ever and whomever get the gig on this. Bring these on!

Ooops, somehow I missed this thread.

I've been one of the contributors to the forum threads over on "The Raven" from which enthusiastic poster Joe E has been relaying details. I'm obviously also a big fan of the YIJC scores, and contributed to an episode of the "IndyCast" podcast featuring the music from YIJC along with Laird. I've attempted to consolidate the information we've learned about the scores at this site:

http://YoungIndianaJonesMusic.com

Nothing official, of course! Details are gleaned from whatever sources are available - including threads here on FSM! We've also attempted to produce cue lists for the episodes, placing music from the OSTs as well as tracks from promo CDs (Rosenthal, Sobel), and the tracks revealed by the DVD games/resources and used in recent Indy games.

Feedback and additional info is very welcome. I hope to put samples of the tracks up on the site eventually.

I didn't know that there were score releases for this, so thanks for the bumping up and the detailed information here!!

I mentioned earlier that I thought the best hope for getting more music from this show (and from the movies as well) might be if a fifth movie were to be made and prompted the release of a comprehensive new boxed set featuring scores from both the films and the TV series. Disney's recent acquisition of Lucasfilm has probably made that less likely. According to various statements in the coverage of the acquisition, Disney didn't assign a value to the Indy franchise (!) because of the "encumbrances with Paramount" - while the franchise is owned by Lucasfilm (and therefore now Disney), Paramount still holds the exclusive distribution rights for Indy movies, so the two studios would have to work something out. I personally think that shouldn't be a deal-stopper in and of itself (they're actually been doing much the same thing for a while already with the Marvel movies ever since Disney bought Marvel), but as one more hassle to be worked through on top of the lack of a script, clearing everyone's schedule, etc., I think it's enough to help keep any prospective fifth movie on the back burner long enough that Harrison would no longer return to the role; I now fear that the next time a new Indy movie comes out, it'll be a reboot (I suspect Disney would rather reboot Indy anyway than just add to the extant continuity).

If this happened, I fear it might either diminish interest in the original iteration (at least beyond the features, which would of course mean the TV show), or cause the studio to perceive a diminished interest even if it actually isn't.

But I truly hope I'm wrong. I still dearly want all the music from this show (as well as the four movies we now have).

I recall hearing whispers that Lucas was considering putting out the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on Blu Ray.Its been a year or so since I heard this rumor and have not heard it since. I would think this would be the perfect opportunity for them to release a boxed collection of the music from the entire series. I think I read this over on the Digital bits. Would love for them to release this on Blu Ray.

Bump!

Any news on this? The blu-rays or, more importantly, the scores?

Somebody from the great labels ought to pursue this for a major Box set presentation. As 2014 looms ahead- I wonder if we can get this out by next Xmas or Black Friday time slot.

Has anybody heard anything about the music from The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles being made available ??? It would be great if Varesse or one of the other labels could put this music out again. How about the series being released on blu ray ???

I haven't heard anything yet on either Blu-rays or more soundtracks. frown

Obviously, I'd be very interested in both, FWIW.

Yearly bump. smile

The Disney/Lucasfilm behemoth seems to be steadily but slowly lumbering towards Indy V. Whether it's Ford's last hurrah, a passing of the torch, or a "reboot" (i.e. recast prequel, but Hollywood loves that term even if it's not a continuity break as is meant in the comics), the Magic 8-Ball says "Signs Point To Yes" and that's likely our best hope for the soundtracks to get some interest if the rights for the film scores and the television scores are bundled.

There's been very little traffic on TheRaven forums in the past year, and I haven't had to make many updates to YoungIndianaJonesMusic.com - the well of unreleased tracks is pretty dry. Still, if anyone (Joe E?) wants to help out with the site to add detail, let me know. We still haven't finished "Complete Score Breakdowns" for every episode.

Another annual bump, just to make sure the labels know we are still waiting.

Any news?
My money is on La-La aLand, but that is pure guesswork on my part....

Wasn't this series Disney related or Touchstone or something Disney'ish, so wouldn't that be Intrada territory. I would easily buy a box set of all this music. There is SO much great music in this series. Easily a $150 dollar box set!!
