We were seriously going after it, but the costs were so prohibitive for us, we had to pull away. It involved licensing the album, and then doing all kinds of other deals and at the end of the day there was no way to make any money. From what I understood then, one of the labels with deeper pockets than us, who perhaps don't need to have every title be a profit maker, was interested in proceeding. But that was over a year ago, so maybe it's just not worth it.

Thanks for the response, Bruce. It's such a pity and rather strange that so much financial outlay is required for this to get reissued. It's one of the few remaining popular musicals from that era that seems destined to languish in the vaults. Do Sony still own the album rights? I'm surprised Mr Bricusse himself isn't able to finance a release, especially as the stage version seems to get staged annually in London and the DVD of the movie is, so I understand, a regular seller.

It's that time of year again to wonder where the heck is Scrooge?

You say it. A much underrated musical achievement by Leslie Bricusse. I always loved every song in it and that does not happen all the time with musicals.

Rights are a mess for ANY soundtrack recording (expanded or not). Hopefully, some day, they will be figured out/renegotiated. Until then, enjoy the BSX re-recording

Five years on and this one looks as remote as ever. With a little good will from all parties this wonderful album could get a CD/download release but clearly that good will is currently lacking....
