1977 1,743 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Straight from MM himself: "Fox Music itself is not doing any additional licensing at this point, but there are still some releases coming from deals previously in place. There will be a "pause" as one studio reviews 80 years of another's musical history and the thousands of soundtrack albums that have been done." https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=136481&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=1&r=529#bottom Could The Towering Inferno have made it through?

Jay 37,042 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Luckily there ain't a lot from FOX the labels hadn't gotten to yet My biggest bummer is that we'll probably never get a truly complete SPEED 2 now, and it never leaked either, so I'm stuck with crappy Blu Ray rips to fill in the gaps for who knows how much longer, if not forever 1977 and bollemanneke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing completely unreleased. Perhaps some of his TV stuff. There are film scores that could be improved though, at least sound quality-wise (The Paper Chase, Conrack, The Towering Inferno) Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Towering Inferno is obviously in dire need of a reissue. I don't own it, and I'm guessing a lot of JWFans don't. Bayesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the whole expansion thing is of no interest to me, but fine overview of the studios. I guess of the Fox titles, CONRACK is the one that could have a little bit of expansion. I mean, the main title track that has been released is pretty much representative of the whole score, and there aren't that many more minutes in it, but I could easily see this as a 15-minute bonus suite on some other release, I guess. Other than that, this 'pause' thing doesn't seem to have much of an impact on my own Williams-collecting habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 It's more of concern for Fox titles that are long OOP and expensive or difficult to obtain (such as the afore-mentioned Towering Inferno). Again, that title may have snuck through in time. Let's hope. On the plus side, labels can focus their energy and funds on Universal, there's lots of stuff there to mine (not only Williams).

I don't own it, and I'm guessing a lot of JWFans don't. It's one of the few remaining gaps in my collection. Is the expansion that's supposedly currently in production just a rumour or confirmed? I'm thinking the latter, but it's been so long since it was teased, I might be misremembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
