This would also affect the release of old score LPs that were on labels that Sony now controls:
Arista
Ava
Bell
BMG
Buddah
CBS
Colgems
Columbia
Epic
Harmony
Kama Sutra
Mainstream
Monument
RCA

Terrible news. At least a bunch of major scores had gorgeous expansions in the last couple of years.

On the bright side, we won't have to deal with the annual release (by someone) of 1967's CASINO ROYALE any more.

Plus, "Hook" had problems and now these problems can't be rectified. And even if something has been issues, if it's sold out, or sells out after this fucking move, now it's can't be re-issued. Sony is taking us back in time to the dark days of releases.
In regards to HOOK, La La worked with what they had at the time. However, new sources have been found. So the chance of a re-release are gone, yes, which sucks.
This news is referring to Sony Music (the record company), not Sony Pictures Studios (the film studio). So Sony-owned movies with soundtrack albums NOT on Sony labels would not be affected.

Okay, but that still affects a ton of titles!
It explains why La La has been pushing out Sony titles lately, obviously the writing was on the wall....
What new elements?

Does it means with the new development that a possible future release is now compromised for the speciality labels except if Sony Music decide do it themselves?
Yeah, and I think it's extremely unlikely Sony Music decides to license additional music to release complete scores, like our specialty labels have been doing. At best they might do some straight reissues. Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Dances With Wolves were two rare expansions they did, and even those weren't complete until LLL tackled them.

I will say this: if any living composer can push through obstacles and red tape at Sony in spite of this new policy, it's John Williams. If he tells Sony he wants them to work with Mike Mattesino and LLL to put out an expanded edition of one of his scores, I'm betting he's the one guy they won't turn down.

I hope they don't have the rights to James Horner's "Volunteers" or John Williams' "The River." Those are the only two scores left on my must-have-before-I-die list. And if the door is closed on them, I don't like what that portends for my ticker.
