I know this has come up from time to time, but I just rewatched the first episode of HBO's mini-series FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON and was struck again by the brilliance of Michael Kamen's score. It is a huge disappointment that only the main and end titles were ever released. PLEASE -- La-La Land, Intrada, Varese, someone, anyone -- release this score!

There have been many threads about this over the years. We're all hoping and wishing someone releases the scores, but it's probably a rights/logistics nightmare. I'm well aware of all the previous threads, and have probably posted in every one of them. As I said, I rewatched episode 1 today and was inspired to start a new one, if only to remind the producers that there is interest.

Has anyone from one of the labels ever indicated what the problem is with getting this released?

I suppose licensing soundtrack releases is small change to a behomoth like HBO, and not worth the effort. While you'd think it's surely easy money for them, evidently all the legal clearance nonsense makes it too prohibitive.

Would it be worth pestering Ron Howard and/or Tom Hanks to tell them the score fan community would love to have these scores released? Can't imagine it would do much good, but you never know...

I absolutely would buy every volume of this - like with Buck Rogers and Amazing Stories. Great composers, great episode scores, including Kamen, of course.

I’m right there with you in wanting this! That said, even apart from its parent company being the now-minimally-cooperative Warner Bros., I don’t think HBO has ever cooperated with the specialty labels on older catalogue releases (it’s even been a while since they let Varese do the first two seasons of Game of Thrones, and that was a current show). Don’t they own Volunteers, which is why Roger hasn’t been able to put it out on Intrada? I think there’s a chance they also control Mom and Dad Save the World, potentially preventing an expansion of that (depends on Varese’s agreement I suppose)… Yavar
