crumbs 14,364 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Still 1000 to go, I guess. On the bright side, if their licence was "only" ten years then it expires in a couple of months. Hopefully they just won't be able to print or sell the remaining units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,364 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 On another note... seeing as I'm clearly insane and have nothing better to do with my life, I re-read every page of this thread and saw a lot of angst around the "Slipstream fiasco," and plenty of negativity towards Perseverance as a label.

Richard Penna 3,753 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Apparently they didn't secure all necessary rights and released an illegal product, as far as I recall. https://theseconddisc.com/2011/04/28/keeping-score-on-a-soundtrack-label-controversy/ Quote Perseverance merely secured publishing rights and acquired the master tapes (which, along with much of the composer’s work, resides in the library at the University of Southern California) without securing the other necessary rights. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they sell out, and this one may sell faster than the previous reissues, we won't be making anymore. Our deal with Warner is for a few years so it may not see the light of day again. 9 years too long, AFAIC. Robin certainly has a funny definition of "a few years."

Edmilson 7,579 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 As I see it, the situation ain't good. If suddenly their remaining copies start to sell quickly, it'll show Perseverance that there's still interest in the score and will make they print more copies and maybe even renew their license with WB. But, if the sales remain slow, it will take a lot of years to sell everything, and who knows what may happen in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody describes twenty years as "a few years," and I can't see WB granting a licence for that long anyway. That said, re-reading this thread, Perseverance made some perplexing comments over the last 9 years warning people that stock was nearly exhausted and wouldn't return... only for another thousand units to turn up. Really bizarre behavior. Just be transparent with your customers; we're a niche audience, and we're not idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,500 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Personnaly I love the OST, and I personnaly ripped the isolated score from my own DVD... to find that the guy who'll make the expansion will have to scratch his head a bit! There are source cues, sometimes combined with original compositions... Good luck with that! For the little twerps who never saw the movie, let's just say that Sarandon's character plays the cello in an orchestra, and that Nicholson, the Devil himself, plays the violin with her in one steamy scene!

Richard Penna 3,753 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Surely an expansion would solve that just by ignoring the source music and presenting the score as written. Like Intrada did with Tension; The Kiss from BTTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
