Hlao-roo 388 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Okay here's a good question for you guys... for when scores get released on CD by a company say like Varèse and they call it a "Masters Film Music" release what does that exactly mean? I've always been curious about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not for you. As for the basis for my question, I'm confused about what specifically differentiates a Masters Film Music release from a regular CD Club release. If you'd like to answer my question rather than jumping to conclusions, I would greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 nothingIt's a nominative plural followed by a nominative singular... so you're probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Taken from Varese's Wiki page:Masters Film MusicA moniker that first appeared on the original release of The Final Conflict which became a full fledged series of CDs when the club launched in 1989. These albums represent the finest film scores ever composed by the greatest composers of our era. This sub-division was spearheaded by Robert Townson long before he became executive producer of Varèse. The CDs are limited editions sold in tandem with Varèse Club releases and, unlike the second generation of club volumes, did not change its numbering system when the club resumed production in 2001. SRS, by the way, stands for special release series. This series also includes the first box set Varèse Sarabande ever produced: Bernard Herrmann - The Concert Suites.

Hlao-roo 388 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 So are these simply releases with which Bob Townson is more deeply involved? Just wondering why albums like Joe Versus the Volcano and The Hallelujah Trail are really all that different from their other releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I seriously had no clue what Signature Editions meant...I don't even know what they are...though I'm guessing it must be some sort of highly sought after version of the score sheets...

Ollie 859 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Nope, the answer is in Vosk's thread on Sig Editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
