How Much Will I Be Paying For.....

[Dean1700 4]

each of these two CD's?

Born On The Fourth Of July complete score; and

Cinderella Liberty/The Reivers

I know where I can get them and was wondering if I should but I don't know how much I should pay for them if I do?

These are bootlegs you are talking about,

Pay as little as possible.

I saw the Born of the Fourth of July complete score at Red Eye Records in Sydney, but thought twice about getting it because I think it was about $45 or something.

Usually on eBay, people pay about 32EUR for Born on the Fourth of July and 27EUR for Cinderella Liberty / The Reivers.

By the way, what definition do you give to bootleg CDs ?

I know these albums are pressed CDs, with gloss paper, they are manufactured, the music has a good quality.

Who make these albums ?

From where comes the unreleased music ?

By bootleg CD one emans a released for wich no royaltees were paid to the composer and performers -- and who else that aplies to them.

These are professionally made bootlegs -- there seems to be such a thing as professional bootlegers!

Already in the past there existed bootlegs of film music. Two Williams oscar promo LP were widelyy available as bootlegs (The Cowboys and Images, both from 1972).

Many of this bootlegs are based on previously available material, i.e. using the old lps as masters. If they are properly transfered, the result can be quiet good, like in Cinderella Liberty, Monsignor and Missouri Breaks. Teh two Tsunami boots of Williams were also made of the original LPs. The recent Yes Giorgio/Space camp and Towering Infenro boots are made from CD sources, using eitehr composer promos or out of print CD releases.

In many of this bootlegs, some of the suposed additional unreleased material is in fact stuff not from the soundtrack, but recordings made by others: on Jane Eyre boot we get the Boston Pops/Williams suite, plus the scherzo conducted by Gerhardt; on Born on the Fourth of July there are the Boston Pops suite and a City of Prague PO cover of the finale; on Sugarland Express there's the re-recordings by the Boston and Cincinatti Pops of the main theme; on Cinderella Liberty there's a version by the late Fred Karlin, and on The rEivers we get the suite with the Boston Pops, all cuted in peices to avoid the gorgeuse meredith Burgess narration. And in all this cases, this information goes uncredite, elading to belive this are alternate and unused cues.

As for the real unreleased material, this is made by guys to get copy of the master tapes, and work from there. About a year before the Sugarland Express/Man Who loved cat Dancing boot come around, I was told by a friend that he had met a guy who had got copies of the master tapes for Cat Dancing, and was working on them for a upcoming CD. Soon after we got the bootleg, along with the Sugraland express, which already floated as CD-R for some time. Other times can come from promotioanl release, like the already mentioned Cowboys and Images -- or as recently discussed, Hook.
