MV has talked about doing a final set to wrap up all the unreleased scores for the series. A mega-set like 7-8 discs possibly, priced more expensively and also more limited. But that was before Warner Bros. became more difficult/expensive to work with I think, so I fear the chances for that set are dead now. frown Would love for MV to chime in about it, even if it's to crush our hopes. At this point we may be lucky just to get The Adventures of Batman & Robin, much less Superman TAS Vol. 2 or even The New Batman Adventures...

I believe the Airport 1975 album was a rerecording (like the stereo album of Jaws) as the music sound a bit different in the movie.
Possibly the movie recording was done in three-track for mono (like Airport '77 and Family Plot). A release with the complete score + album would be very welcome!


Those three-track "mono" tapes are just mixdowns made from the first generation "stereo" multi-track tapes (which were unfortunately not preserved) :

https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=8&threadID=73844&archive=0

"Family Plot was not a mono recording originally but no stereo sources or multi-tracks were saved. All that exists is a 3-track mono mixdown. Each of the three tracks groups certain instruments, the purpose being that when the film is mixed in mono the sound mixers have some very basic control if, for example, they would like less strings, more percussion, etc. at a given moment. So while you can't treat these 3-track mixdowns like an L/C/R because it sounds really weird and unnatural, you CAN use them to get some spatiality out of the recording and end up with, as I said earlier, something with a stereo "field" but not a stereo "spread." FSM previously had to do this with their Coma release and it's come up a few times on other scores." (Mike Matessino)

I also hope for one more Superman TAS box set. They did sell all of the first one.

I don’t think they sold the full print run of 3000. I think it was closer to half.

So now they know how much they can sell for the next set!

I wish it were that simple, jwb1!

I appreciate that so many of you continue to voice enthusiasm for more SUPERMAN TAS music. I love it at least as much as the BTAS music we've put out, and it kills me that we had to leave such a wealth of incredible scores unreleased on the first STAS set. MV may or may not want to comment beyond what he's already said in the past ... conditions can change from year to year, and I don't know how much can be prognosticated right now. Just be assured that the passion for the material is definitely there!

Well said, John. That's what keeps my hopes alive for getting more WB titles particularly the Batman sets. If not for LLL we would only be fantasizing about all this stuff.

Edited my post because it didn't really add anything to the thread.

I will say though that I would love to own a second volume of Superman: TAS, and I'll support it for sure if it does get released! There are still so many excellent scores from that show that have yet to see the light of day, including "Stolen Memories", "The Prometheon", "Target", "Identity Crisis", "Blasts from the Past", "Speed Demons", "The Late Mr. Kent", "Knight Time", "The Demon Reborn" and "Brave New Metropolis"!

That was consistently true for the first two years of the series, but their recent Two Mules (the 9th? release in the series) breaks this pattern, with Universal Music Special Markets clearly also credited on the back due to their LP program being included. It's fairly unclear now what determines whether a Universal release ends up in the Heritage line or not.


Two Mules is the 10th title in the line, not the 9th

1 June 2018: Colossus: The Forbin Project by Michel Colombier (La-La Land)
2 Aug 2018: The Prisoner of Zenda by Henry Mancini (La-La Land)
3 Nov 2018: Airport '77 by John Cacavas / The Concorde: Airport '79 by Lalo Schifrin (La-La Land)
4 May 2019: The Sentinel by Gil Melle (La-La Land)
5 June 2019: Fletch Lives by Harold Faltermeyer (La-La Land)
6 Sep 2019: Child's Play 2 by Graeme Revell (La-La Land)
7 Sep 2019: Rooster Cogburn by Laurence Rosenthal (Varese Sarabande)
8 Oct 2019: Bride of Frankenstein by Franz Waxman (La-La Land)
9 April 2020: Mystery Men by Stephen Warbeck & Shirley Walker (La-La Land)
10 July 2020: Two Mules for Sister Sara by Ennio Morricone (La-La Land)

Since the line started, eleven additional Matessino/Universal titles have come out that weren't branded as being part of the line:

1 Jun 2018: Small Soldiers by Jerry Goldsmith (Varese Sarabande)
2 Oct 2018: Dracula by John Williams (Varese Sarabande)
3 Jan 2019: Apollo 13 by James Horner (Intrada)
4 Feb 2019: An American Tail by James Horner (Intrada)
5 Aug 2019: Ghost Story by Philippe Sarde (Varese Sarabande)
6 Dec 2019: Earthquake by John Williams (La-La Land)
7 Jan 2020: Darkman by Danny Elfman (La-La Land)
8 Mar 2020: Far & Away by John Williams (La-La Land)
9 Mar 2020: The Big Fix by Bill Conti (Varese Sarabande)
10 May 2020: The River by John Williams (Intrada)
11 July 2020: The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by John Addison (Quartet)

I'm loving how open Universal has been of late!

Hi MV,

After the excellent release of Sliver any chance of Single White Female, another fine early 90's Shore score.

And what about an expanded edition of Elliot Goldenthal's Final Fantasy, one of EG's rare non-WB titles

Sure and there's been other Universal titles released since the line started handled by other producers (such as Batteries Not Included and Balto for example), but I only listed the Matessino ones since he is behind the Heritage line.

Regardless, here's hoping the gems from Universal's vaults continue to come out and WB opens back up soon too!

Due to finances, and being out of work, I failed to get the Superman TAS boxed set. I'm hoping LLL will reprint it and Lost in Space someday. Ahem. That's if my financial situation ever gets better.
