Which movie version is this? Is it the one with "Thank you very much, thank you very much" and "I like life" etc?
In that case i love this!!
Yes, that's the version this thread is inquiring about.

As far as I can tell there's no particular problem with reissuing the soundtrack album, assuming there's a master tape available. The rights are with Sony Music. As the film was released by the theatrical arm of CBS at the time, the rights are now with Paramount, which means they would control the additional music. An effort to locate it would have to be undertaken and then an expanded version would require a Paramount/Sony Music co-license.

Thanks for the reply Mike. I'd be more than happy with a decent CD of the old album, especially as several of the songs get more satisfying endings compared to the film versions. If Sony Music are sole owners of the album master I'm really surprised this hasn't been reissued already. They appear to licence their pop/soul catalog quite freely, but maybe soundtracks are a different kettle of fish?
When I last checked no contract could be located at Sony, Paramount or CBS. Things may have changed. That was a few years ago

Yes, and someone who shall remain nameless set a mouse trap there.

Useless trivia—engineer Dick Lewzey had his job interview at CTS Bayswater on a day that Scrooge was being recorded by John Richards.

Just over 11 weeks to Christmas and it seems that a straightforward transfer to CD of the original album is still as unlikely as me winning the lottery!

Even without a copy of the contract. Sony should just announce the CD. Anyone with a copy will come running forward to make sure they get their cut.

It has been investigated. Lukas put a lot of effort looking into it for years and I've picked up on it since. It won't be this year but next year is the 50th and in the interim we'll see what happens.

I'm not too hard to find, JThree! Did you send messages that I've missed?
There are many projects I'd love to work on and some things I'm looking forward to tackling that I'm pleased to be involved with. Too involved a subject to go into here.
When Mr. Bricusse gets to L.A. in December we're going to see what we can do about Scrooge. I have a feeling that scoring masters are gone, but hopefully we can at least get the soundtrack album out. I also have some demos from Ian Fraser.
