Popular Post That_Bloke 115 Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2018 Perhaps the reference to 2018 being one for the books means this year will be notable for having the least number of releases of works by Williams Smeltington, bollemanneke, Jurassic Shark and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Regarding HP, do we actually need the films to be 20 years old for a release to be possible, or is that just the 'logical' thing to do or a happy coincidence for previous titles? I mean, the license fees only count for the first 10 years, right? So would there be anything else stopping expanded releases from happening now, given the endless milking of the books (seriously, who still has to buy these now?), play (why would anyone be interested in that crap), exhibitions, and of course the concerts?

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Okay, so May is seeing La-La-Land Records release Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. It is pretty much the same as was on the FSM box set, and the only thing worth it for me was the Maestro's three themes. I do have a good feeling; perhaps the Maestro's score to Superman: The Movie, newly remastered? Still, the 2008 release on the box set was superb, so I don't know how the sound quality could be improved already. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
