That's the age-old crunch with film-music. It stands or falls etc .....
The score from the 'Abbot and Costello' Tribute worked on is as good as anything ever written for film, but people need to know it.

I want Demon in a Bottle!
(But not as much as I want that Herrmann homage score you played Francesca and I in the car that one time, John.)
Seriously, it's a crying shame that aside from the superb Trinity and Beyond scores, all the Morgan and Stromberg composing work we have released is the horribly temp-tracked Starship Troopers 2. Man, that's a tough listen, because you can hear over and over how two talented composers just had their hands forced!

John, what is the status of Don Juan and Devil & Daniel Webster? Still on for february?
Keep up the great work! ............ Peter
A bit later, I'm afraid. Doing music for another project, so Juan will have to wait a bit.
John-
Is Devil&Daniel Webster still on 'target'? Is another rerecording taking the place of Juan?
All your recordings are great!
paul
No, I was referring to our rerecordings being delayed until Spring because of other commitments. Thanks for the kind words, Paul. To be honest, we are having some second thoughts on the Herrmann score. The music and score is terrific, but when we extracted the music from the film found that most of the score consisted of snippets and very short transition cues that would not make a compelling listen away from the film. Of course, Herrmann knew what he was doing and his suite from the film consists of fleshing out cues that make sense in a musical way, divorced from the film. And we were wondering if in this case, Herrmann knew what he was doing. - But that is off the record for the moment.

Perhaps it is time to consider ON DANGEROUS GROUND, then?
THAT one is a Barn Burner.

If you won't do THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER, what about THE DEVIL AND MAX DEVLIN, with music by Buddy Baker? You could pair it with another Bill Cosby film score, LEONARD PART 6, with music by Elmer Bernstein. Or perhaps THE FAT ALBERT EASTER SPECIAL, with music by Ray Ellis and Norm Prescott.
If that sells well, you could do a Norm Prescott compilation album, featuring "Mighty Mouse in the Great Space Chase," "The Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam!," "Tarzan and the Super 7," "The New Adventures of Gilligan," "The Brady Kids," "Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies," and "Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down."
I know for a fact you're a big Tarzan fan, you have pictures of Sabrina all over your walls, and you love Jerry Lewis more than those crazy French do!
