I just got this email. I signed up for the Perseverance newsletter a long time ago, and thought I would share the news.
Hello dear film score collectors,
Welcome to number 22 of our email newsletter.
Announcing our newest label concept
We've been pretty busy here, of late, at Perseverance. We are excited to announce a new sub-label which will be called Perseverance Reissue.
Here are the details:
* We are working with Warner Music, Universal Music and Sony/BMG Music plus a few independent music labels to reissue soundtrack albums that are just sitting in their vaults.
* We are also working with some studios for projects that may never have been released. While these may not qualify as "reissues" they fit the concept we have laid out here.
* Many of these albums are by very well known composers. Some other projects could be known musicians who scored their first, and only, film.
* Soundtracks could be from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s and in a few cases be recent releases that were "cut out" by their label too quickly.
* Pricing will be between 11.98-15.98 for single CD sets, $19.98 for double CD sets. In very rare instances the pricing may be higher for either type of recording depending on the cost of mastering and other factors beyond our control.
* Limited editions will run from 3,000-5,000 copies depending on what we think the sales potential will be.
* Some of these albums will be remastered versions of the original LP release with zero extras and others will be expanded depending on availability of additional material.
* We will be using original art to retain the look and feel of those releases.
* All releases will have liner notes by some great writers.
* When an announcement is made, we will share all the details of the hows and whys of that particular release so as to help you make an informed decision.
We will be announcing our first release in the coming weeks so keep checking back.
P.S. - One last note on CD pricing, with the economy being what it is the last few years, it's important to me that we create value for, you, the film music fan. We've learned a lot from the fans and this is a chance for us to provide quality releases at reasonable prices. This is very important to us and I hope you enjoy all the wonderful titles we plan to put out.
All the best,
Robin Esterhammer

Freeing the Waters
Available for Pre-Order Now
The new album from the composer of Kickboxer and Bloodsport.
Will ship the second week of September 2011.
Limited Edition of 1000 Units. The first 100 CDs are signed by the composer. We are offering this album at the special price of only $11.95.
From the liner notes: "The first of these songs to be written, 'Freeing the Waters,' was composed in 1987, right after I finished scoring Bloodsport. The final song written, 'Sue Across the Sea,' was composed in 1991, just before I left the film and music businesses to 'disappear off the face of the planet.' I started the project as a way to keep myself occupied between jobs. I fully expected when I started that some of these ideas would find themselves in films some day. But such was not to be.
Since 1991, these tunes have existed in a sort of virtual half-life as nothing more than midi data. A couple of years ago, I finally acquired the technology to record at home myself, and at last this music is recorded and available. When possible, I have retained the sounds that I used when composing, but I have updated some sounds with modern digital samples: the piano, snare, toms, some (but not all) of the orchestral instruments. I am amazed that my primitive gear holds its own against the modern stuff.
Because this music was written during those few tears of my career as a film composer, I hope that fans of my film music will discover this collection for a sample of possible film score material that never made its way into a film.

Silentsphere Studios'
An Homage to the 80's
Available for Pre-Order Now
A spine chilling collection of instrumentals, made in the spirit of 80's horror films, brought to you by Germany's own Silentsphere Studios.
Will ship the second week of September 2011.
Limited edition of 500 units. We are offering this album at the special price of only $11.95. This is a studio-produced CDR with a color copy insert.
If you like classic Eighties synthesizer scores from the likes of Harold Faltermeyer, Tangerine Dream, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter, this CD is for you! Produced and released by the German band Silentsphere Studios, this album features over 45 minutes of vintage synth music. In fact, it's so good that we just couldn't resist putting it into our store. It's not a film score, but rather the soundtrack to an imaginary movie that can play in your mind while you are listening to the very catchy themes.

Even More One-of-a-Kind Soundtrack Albums in Our Yahoo Store
I have uploaded several more specially priced soundtrack albums to the Yahoo Store. These are CDs that I am trying to get rid of to make room for new CDs, have doubles of or have found elsewhere and thought them interesting enough to offer them for sale at a heavily discounted rate. Most of these albums are under $10 and quite rare.

Coming in October
We are happy to announce the release of a 2 disc set of a classic horror score by a British composer that not only features the complete score, but also the demos the composer recorded for the (also British) director, who is a huge name in the horror world.

The 2-CD horror score could be Simon Boswell's Lord of Illusions.
Good guess! I was thinking Clive Barker for the British director with the huge horror name, but couldn't make the last connection.
I was also, until last night, under the impression Christopher Young was British. I'll just slink away quietly and kick my brain.
