You are correct. Sony Pictures is still licensing, apparently. It’s Sony Music that isn’t.

Bump.
When I take account of all the scores which have been released (including really obscure Michael Kamen scores -- like Road House) it's baffling to me that Munchausen has yet to be reissued. It's certainly one of Kamen's most interesting efforts. It was originally released by Warner Bros. records, and we've gotten reissues of other Warner titles like Outland, Twilight Zone, Witches Of Eastwick, Empire Of The Sun, etc.
What's the hold-up? Lost masters? Ownership changed hands? No one cares about Kamen in the Zimmer age?

Ah Munchausen! A wonderful, energetic, love of life type of score.
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen! Complete!

Especially when you consider Die Hard has been released -- what is it, four times by now?
Gotta be a rights issue. I can't imagine a score of this caliber by a much-loved composer isn't on the short list of all the soundtrack labels.

I'm torn on this.
I'll buy again, and Brazil, but the custom programs Kamen devised on both ....I know it won't be the same!
So, please include album programs, Soundtrack Labels, if you have a go at these two!!

There’s a great bit that’s part of the final battle that wasn’t released. There’s a brief bit of it heard on the re-recording track on the Michael Kamen tribute album that came out a while back.
I found this interview with Michael Kamen, where he mentions that he reconsidered his scoring of the final battle, so he re-wrote it...
The battle scenes at the end of the movie. I did it twice as a matter of fact, I did them once in Germany in the original recording and then re-recorded, re-wrote in England. I made the ideas a little bit more resonant, I needed a little more spine to the idea because it had been too detailed.

It's truly a crime people don't have access to this score. It's easily in my top 10 most listened to scores of the last 30 years.
I love everything about this film and think of it on the same level as The Wizard of Oz or Willy Wonka. Under-appreciated fantasies that didn't find their audience at the time. And sadly Munchausen is still waiting to find its.

Munchausen and (particularly) Brazil in complete presentations have been top of my want list since I first listened to their respective albums. Can't get enough of Kamen from this period

I've been waiting a mighty long time for this score to get reissued, and I'm sure there'd be enough material to warrant an expanded edition with the original album as well.
That would be the ideal scenario.
