As a James Horner fan, I have enjoyed many outstanding releases over the last few months. I began collecting soundtracks around the time that the complete Star Trek III score became available (I am a rookie score collector), then came Krull, Jade, Uncommon Valor (Love it!), and most recently 48 Hours which I still am getting around to aquiring (Tight on money. By the way, how many copies are left Intrada?)
There are scores that I don't have in my collection but have heard of or aquired digitally. These include:
Battle Beyond the Stars (Complete Score)
Now, I know for a fact that there is a scoring sessions CD bootleg somewhere, I have seen and heard it first hand, now, Rodger Corman used this score in a later film, so the film score masters must have survived until at least 2001 when Raptor was released. This also means that someone had access to those masters and copied them (quite poorly) for the bootleg release. So, is there a chanse that those masters survived even though they were for a cheesy B-movie and by a nobody (at the time) composer? This is a release that I have been waiting for, for two years now. It remains my most anticipated James Horner film score release ever.
Humanoids from the Deep (Complete Score)
I believe that some people think that this score is superior to BBtS. I used to hate this score, but after listening to the thing a few more times I grew to like it. I sounds more mature than BBtS (Maybe because there was not as much trumpet so the trumpets could not fumble on notes) and I believe that there is still score to be heard. Otherwise, a re-release of the already available album would be awesome.
Wolfen/Deadly Blessing
Never heard them. However I am a completionist and must have EVERY James Horner score. I believe that I read somewhere that the masters are still intact....
These are just my suggestions and the knowledge that I have on the availability of the masters. (which is very little. I don't even know what masters are....)
