Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Okay,
So I wrote to FSM, as I didn't have the genius to find that my answer was right on this site. Apparently Varese owns the rights to April Fool's Day in perpetuity. I have my own feelings towards if such a thing should be legally acceptable, but I digress
Anyway, it occurred to me that their release contains mockups that were redone for the final cut. Does this mean they only have the rights to those, or also the rights to the final cut versions? If it's the former then isn't is possible for Intrada or other labels to release what you hear in the film's final cut, as I and many would prefer to begin with?
Forgive me, as I don't "get" copyrights. I'm no IP lawyer
- Thanks

I wouldn't count on it. What you could do, which I did a while back, is quickly email Varese and request that they release this score properly with Bernstein's song included.

They apparently listened to people's request for Brass Target, so it might not be an entirely futile endeavor.

I wonder if there's enough of a demand. There are some on this site that agree it'd be a nice release. It takes more than a few people though :/
Heck, I'd be willing to download a lossy version, so long as it's what you hear in the film. Though naturally a proper release is ideal

Hm. That's encouraging. Maybe I should look up their email. It is possible that I wouldn't be the first one to suggest that title to them. If FSM told me they already tried looking into it then I'm thinking they might've considered taking the job on themselves...?

Thanks. I'll shoot them a text. Maybe (maybe? ) I'll do one of those online petitions. I know, you usually are lucky to only get all of 3 signatures but you said it yourself that it's better than nothing and at least puts it out there.
I didn't realize they were the ones that released his Elm Street score. Though they weren't mockups, it still is missing a lot of material and doesn't (IMHO) have nearly enough of the "Oomph" I hope for in an OST. Then again, I've only heard clips on YouTube.

I mentioned this one in another thread but it still also bothers me that there are now 3 releases of the OST to The Terminator and again (why are they always my favorite tracks?) the Reese's Death/Terminator Sits Up track is a mockup. Arg!

Well, 16 is a start... not too bad for 2 days. I usually get all of 3 signatures in 3 years -

I wonder if Charles Bernstein himself made a push to have this released. I remember him saying that he tried to get the label to release an expanded Elm Street, but the idea was denied.

We'll probably get this at some point, as it makes no business sense at all to possess perpetual album rights just to have these out of print scores held back forever and not making any more money while the ever-dwindling customer base still exists. The only real concern is how they will release it.

I'll buy one.

April Fools Day, Complete A Nightmare on Elmstreet, Complete Cujo would be great as these are great horrorscores by a great composer.
Did Bernstein record any music to Sepent and the Rainbow at all or was Fiedel the first to record for that movie as the movietrailer had Bernsteins name attached?
