Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So they create playlists with images from the new movie, but containing no music from the new score. Then they create a playlist titled "Complete Star Wars Soundtracks", featuring TPM: UE as well as the OSTs for II and III. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 So what are the chances that a future playlist includes a track from Force Awakens? Well, I highly doubt that would be the first place a track would appear. But I wouldn't be too surprised if a track is officially released in some way early (like Duel of the Fates). Jason Ward of Making Star Wars didn't seem to have any info on that as of a few days ago when asked about the soundtrack on Twitter. He seems to be assuming there will be a single (or maybe he's confirmed that?) @al_x_mq Comes out the day of the film. No word on the single yet though— Jason Ward (@MakingStarWars) November 15, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Spotify wouldn't be the worst place to premiere a track. Certainly better than in a TV Spot or ringtone. Scarpia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,482 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The existing playlists have been updated and now contains tracks from TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Really? How did Sony get allowances for that? Or is it Disney controlling this? And if so, how do they have the rights to distribute digital copies of the original 6 scores? Maybe digital streaming rights to the scores fall outside Sony's contractual jurisdiction! Copyrights and music streaming are confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 A playlist is simply a link to existing tracks already on spotify. I'm sure Disney is running the official Star Wars channel, but they could make a playlist that has tracks from their own TFA OST combined with Sony versions of the old scores combined with Erich Kunzel re-recordings if they wanted! It's just a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good point. Got my hopes up they'd found a contractual loophole! After all, digital rights to the scores wouldn't be factored into whatever contract Sony signed in 1997. Thinking about it though, it probably had a binding clause about future mediums.

Jay 37,364 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Sony didn't sign anything in 1997; RCA released those 1997 2CD sets. Sony picked up the OT rights sometime after they got the PT rights in 1999. I'd guess in 2004, since that's when their versions of the 1997 sets showed up.

crumbs 14,316 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hopefully it wasn't a 20 year renewal in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yes hopefully it was 15 years to sync up with a 20 year PT contract so they'd both end in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
