After so many years of waiting and hoping for even one more disc of Ron Jones's music, of fantasizing about which episode might possibly be featured, we have been offered fourteen discs of Ron Jones music from TNG, virtually everything Jones composed! I listen to these scores and find so much richness, so much creative talent which I never imagined before, even though I was quite literally watching the episodes for years just to listen for what Ron Jones was doing. I mean, who would ever bother watching The Royale for any other reason, right? Thank you FSM! Thank you Lucas Kendall! Thank you Ron Jones!!
If anyone is still on the fence about this release, take it from me- I'm unemployed right now in this economic downturn and poor as a pauper, but this was the best possible investment! Who needs food when you can listen to Ron Jones? I was very disappointed to hear that some illegal downloading is going on. If anyone reading this has taken part, make good and buy the set. You're only hurting the chances for later releases if you don't.
Ahem, so with all of this off my chest. . . who else is ready for Duck Tales?? As a kid watching that show after school, I was always taken with the music-- I'd hum it to myself when the TV was off and even dream about it! Wouldn't it be grand for Ron Jones, the self-proclaimed (and in my opinion aptly titled) "Jerry Goldsmith Jr", to have another box set release? These releases are a long time coming, and I can't imagine a more appropriate candidate than Duck Tales! Does anyone else here have fond memories, specific episodes that come to mind?

I'd be most eager for a release of Jones' music from Duck Tales. I just wouldn't mind waiting a few months for my wallet to recover as well.

This thread needs to be bumped. I was watching the treasure of the golden suns episodes the other day and the music truly is outstanding. Go for it Intrada!

There won't be a release anytime soon. Roger commented on it at Intrada I think last year (I can't seem to locate the post at the moment), saying while it's possible to do, it's just not something they are perusing, and are working on other Disney titles.

Well hopefully they can start churning out those Disney titles faster until Duck Tales rises to the top of the queue!

Hey, guys! Bumping this for a few reasons:
One, I've had enough of not being able to listen to the incredible score I love, without having to also put up with the sound effects and dialogue. I've created a petition to get the Ron Jones DuckTales score released on CD, and it really needs signatures! I refuse to let this thing fall into obscurity. So please sign it:
https://www.change.org/petitions/disney-records-and-or-intrada-release-the-complete-music-score-for-ducktales-and-other-disney-afternoon-shows-on-cd-2
Second reason I've bumped this thread: You guys might be interested in this episode-by-episode list I've put together:
http://kenisu.webs.com/ducktalesbgm.htm
It's basically a great big cue sheet, documenting what music was used in the first 75 episodes of DuckTales. Please note that since I don't know (yet) what the real names are for each cue, I had to come up with my own for now.
Third, here's the Intrada thread mentioned earlier:
http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5285&p=62423
Several posts into page 1, Douglass Fake explains what their Disney license entails. User tharpdevenport then comes in and says:
Having said all that, is there even a remote chance for something like a 2 or 3CD set of "Ducktales" (Ron Jones, and the pilot score by Chase & Rucker)?
Doug responds:
Ummmm.... the quick answer is no. The longer answer is, even though it's possible, I've got countless other titles I want to work with first.
A few posts further down he elaborates:
By the way, always hang on to hope. While it's not high on my list, that's mainly because so many other scores are. I have lots of wants still. People sometimes say there's not much left to release but I sure can come up with a list a mile long. Old scores from the 1930's and 1940's, 1950's, stuff I grew up hoping for in the 1960's and 1970's, endless TV scores, episode scores, expanded stuff by the dozens, countless treasures in the Disney vaults, you name it.
So your Ron Jones hopes are certainly worth holding on to as well. 
This exchange prompted me to join the Intrada forums, after wallowing in a crummy state of misery wherein I was convinced there was no hope whatsoever of getting my favorite score on CD. The music of DuckTales honestly helps make life a little easier for me, and to have it in unadulterated form would be nothing short of divine.

Signed!
(Although these petitions never have a result)
But I LOVE the score to Ducktales.
I would probably put it in the top 5 scores of all time for animation series.

I agree completely, that show's music had a high standard as opposed to some of the others at that time and definitely some of the scores today. Not to mention it had a strong Indiana Jones vibe due to the mystery/adventure nature of Scrooge's trips.
