Hi MV,
Appreciate the fact that you answer all the questions!
Have you tried releasing Marc Shaiman's SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER AND UNCUT?
Thanks
Yes, but Trey and Matt shot it down

Dick York or Dick Sargent?
Hey, who doesn't love Dick? The more Dick the merrier! Never ask us to choose between the two Dicks!

MV, HEAT (1995) is it possible? Complete score and some songs?
This got a "Probably not" earlier in the thread among some other WB titles. Too much bad blood there, I think.
Bad blood? What happened?
I have a question for MV (although I think I know the answer already) - are there any plans for/any chance of any expanded James Bond scores at all? The 2003 releases were stellar, but we know there's room for improvement over a decade later in terms of sequencing and extra material. And, of course, we've had a bunch of new films since then. Is this something that is even possible to release?
Thank you in advance.
Addressed Bond earlier -- we'd be honored to do any of them.

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- don't get cocky.

With Heat not possible, how about the other Goldenthal/Mann collaboration Public Enemies?
And John Murphy's score for Mann's Miami Vice?
Expanded Conspiracy Theory or Rob Roy by Burwell?

I'll post the same question again in relation with the above post, because I simply don't get the attitude of some other collectors...
Why keep asking about expanded releases of scores greatly represented on CD already, when there is a huge amount of never before released stuff?!
If the available album has only one score track -- like for example THE FLINTSTONES -- then yes. But otherwise, please focus on the unreleased scores -- like for example THE JACKAL.

People ask for what they want. If there's a score that I don't care for that's never been released before in any shape or form, I'm not going to ask for it. Conversely, if there's a score that's received a 30-minute album in the past and that still has an hour and ten minutes of amazing never-before-released music, I'm going to ask for that. All there is to it really.

The Jackal is indeed higher on my wishlist than an expanded Conspiracy Theory or Rob Rob, but MV already said The Jackal might happen some day but not this year (or something like that)

MV spoke about this last year. He said:
"The ironic thing is people want stuff that hasn't been released yet those are the titles that have performed poorly for us over the last few years. Titles that are reissued or titles that are expanded over their previous releases tend to sell 2 - 3 times better than titles that have not been out before. What some people refuse to accept is a majority of the so-called Grail releases have been released over the past decade and there's really not much left in terms of Highly coveted titles that score collectors want. Oh, I am quite sure there are those that will argue that there are tons of golden age and Silver age scores to release. While those are some wonderful scores they would not sell nearly as well as those fans would hope. They would barely cover the cost of the actual production and at the end of the day, as I've stated many many times before, this is a business. You can't keep producing product that's just going to break even...you have to make some kind of profit. So, reissuing stuff that has been sold out is a pretty good idea, but it depends on what those titles are. We have done some in the past that performed very well and we have done some that performed poorly. Like with everything, it's a gamble."
That's why three of the six titles released by LLL in 2017 are reissues.
It's a depressing state of affairs but there you go. I've revised my list of what to expect in the future and the fact is that some new stuff simply wouldn't sell in sufficient quantities to be worthwhile. So for example, although He-Man sold by the truckload, I can't see LLL taking a chance on other 1980s cartoons that don't have as strong a nostalgia factor that He-Man does. I'm thinking Johnny Douglas's wonderful music for Dungeons and Dragons and 101 Shuki Levy scores.
