I'm neither saying nor implying anything -- just asking, because many of us remember what happened:

Perseverance Records released this, but it was stopped as it turns out they didn't get the rights. He said he'd look into it and get back, never did, labels heads tried to set him straight and help, but at that time it didn't work. Sine then we al got told the rights owners won't cooperate.

At the time, Lukas clearly pointed out:

"The confusion of the Slipstream license is because Bernstein's estate owns the publishing while the film company owns the recorded master, as I explained initially.

Lukas "

He "blew the whistle" on the release, and said way more, but I don't want to dredge that all up again.


I just don't see anything in the announced to curtail my worries, that's all.

Probably stupid question but is it really finally licenced correctly?

Is this a fresh mastering from the original album mastertapes? Or a ‘tweaked’ version from the digital transfer used for the previous (brief) release?

I just ordered SLIPSTREAM and the Gil Melle score for STARSHIP INVASIONS at the BSX website. Thank you for all the work you've done with the Melle estate on bringing us Gil's scored.

Perseverance Records and Dragon's Domain are completely different companies run by different people so I can't imagine why there should be any concerns with this release.

I was fortunate enough to get a copy of the initial release. Very nice score.

Wow, that's quite a release. It's a legendary score, and I might say, a very good one. I haven't seen the movie (just clips of it on YouTube), but the music is excellent, vintage Bernstein.

It’s a brilliant score. It doesn’t say who conducted the score in the credits. Assume it was EB?

Is anything from BSX licensed correctly?

For what it's worth, Elmer is listed as the conductor, (uncredited), on the film's IMDb page under the Music Department, along with some other uncredited contributors.

Any reason to assume they aren't?

Just since you asked, Terra: https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=142211&forumID=1&archive=0

Things would sure look a lot better if Ford had provided some kind of answer in that earlier thread. That said this is a neat set of sci-fi releases for sure.

I agree on an official statement about the licensing issue which has given this particular score an infamous release history. I have the Perseverance version, so if this new DDR release is officially licensed (properly), please proudly announce it.

This is a great Bernstein score, glad to see it out again.

Why? Are they on trial?

No.

It's just that if there's a muddied history over the rights issues from past releases of Slipstream, then having some sort of assurance about the legal fidelity of THIS release may calm the clucking of this cluster of collectors.

Even when LLL released Sugarland Express they assured us this was an officially sanctioned release, even though they didn't have to, given the score's history.

Now can someone please do something about the movie?
