Sorry if this was mentioned already. But after his final batch will that release series continue?

According to Peter Hackman in the Townson departure announcement thread, yes they will continue. Though Peter is also departing Varese so we just have to trust whoever is in charge will continue to consider the expansions worthwhile. I fear that after his friend Robert Townson leaves, nobody there will care about expanding Cliff Eidelman's magnum opus, Christopher Columbus: The Discovery...

Microsoft Excel is your friend. Over the years I bought 81 of the Club discs (which equals 37.8%), though I did trade a load in a few years ago (I don't have any idea how many I have left) and I haven't bought any non-Goldsmith titles since DIE HARD 2. That's also not counting the two DeLuxes which I didn't buy at the time but were included in the Varese horror box (SCREAM, MIMIC).

I think it's unimaginable there won't be at least one Goldsmith in this final (?) batch - maybe all three of them? Personally I'd love RAGGEDY MAN and MACARTHUR, expanded or not...

MacArthur can be released by any label that deals with Universal Studios and Universal Music. Varese only licensed the title from UMG themselves. They *might* hold perpetuity rights on Raggedy Man but since it was a limited Club release that's probably unlikely and the title could be reissued/expanded just as Magic was by LLL after Varese premiered it in their Club.

But wasn't that the position with DRACULA - a Universal LP release that Varese licensed at the time and then DeLuxed? And other limited Club releases like RAGGEDY MAN have resurfaced from Varese, either expanded or as straight reissues (THE BURBS, JAGGED EDGE, BLOODLINE).

Yeah, if Townson can't fit the complete recordings to The Field onto one disc, and Matthew Joseph Peak is late completing the copyright-and-Dennis-Hopper-free painting for Townson's new re-recording of Conti's Nails, he might abandon it and go with a repressing of the Raggedy Man soundtrack. One last ride...

I think that Townson wants to go out with a bang, though, something that'll be sure to sell, securing his legacy as a shrewd, what's-the-word-on-the-street manipulator of the soundtrack market and making Concord look foolish for letting him go.

That's right, Varese Encore edition of Debney's Superman: The Movie.

In the case of "Dracula," Varèse did not own perpetuity rights, but they did reacquire this title for a deluxe edition. Many other CDs from that series of MCA LPs that Varèse reissued on CD were subsequently released in deluxe form by other labels.

Yes, some Club releases have been reissued or expanded by Varèse, but others have come out from other labels.

In other words, there's no one answer for all of this!

That assumes he knew he was going to be leaving, when he worked on this batch.

I'm hoping for something from Herrmann, perhaps a complete VERTIGO.

I have - or have had - 201 of those. Some I swapped out for better versions - e.g. Predator, Die Hard, Romancing The Stone - for better versions from other labels. Others - e.g. The Burbs - for better versions from Varese.

For Townsens last batch: I would love an release of Rosza`s THE LAST EMBRACE with the original recording of the score.
The LP with the re-recording was one of Varese`s very early releases.
So it would be VERY nice, if the "last" Club Batch would include the original score :-)!


Are you possibly confusing THE LAST EMBRACE with EYE OF THE NEEDLE? Varese did early re-recordings of both of these late Rozsa scores, but only their licensing agreement for the latter gave them perpetuity rights on any release of the original recording as well. THE LAST EMBRACE film recording was released complete by Intrada years ago:
http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.6273/.f

The superior Royal Philharmonic film recording of EYE OF THE NEEDLE, on the other hand, has only been released as an isolated score track (complete with any film edits) on a Twilight Time Blu-ray...never CD.

Oh, yes of course, youre right ;-).

Oh I agree, it always has been, but that didn't stop people wishing & hoping in the past (& ultimately hating Varese for not releasing what they wanted). There just seems to be less interest, maybe less people interested in buying soundtrack CDs, less people on this site, a lot less people buying soundtracks than 20 years ago.
