The only thing is, I sometimes keep enough in the bank account for one disc, if this score were to show up and I found myself a half brick short and it sold out quickly, that would definitely put a crimp in the old pecker.

I don't usually talk about upcoming projects, but we hit an interesting situation with this title and I wanted to let you know what we're doing so there is no shock and awe when it's released. As many of you know, the AFM makes available a very generous historic discount rate on new-use fees which has enabled us and other labels to release many of some of our most wanted scores. Without it, you wouldn't have Back to the Future or Goonies or Predator. Funeral Home was recorded in Canada and unfortunately, the Canadian musicians union can do its own thing. As in the case here -- they will not honor the US historic rate. The AFM really tried to make a case to them, but they were steadfast in not changing their position. Therefore, in order to do this project, we have to pay a significantly higher new use rate. My first reaction was, that kills this project. Which is a shame. We had already transferred the 2" 24-track elements. The music sounds spectacular. It's important because it's Fielding's last score and it's a horror score. He didn't have many (any) of those and it's actually a very strong score. But I figured out a way we can do it. We may only break even, but we could do it if we sell 1200 units at $29.99. I'm passionate about making this project happen because I really like the score. I just don't want folks to scream bloody murder when they see the price tag. Now you know why. Roger |

Thanks for the heads up. It never occured to me that that the musicians get paid again when a score it released say 20 years later. I always figured that they were paid at the time it was recorded and that was that and it was just the composer that got a cut later on. |

I'm passionate about this score as well, so you won't hear a peep out of me in regards to the price point. I'm defintiely buying it! Thanks for advising on the situation, nonetheless. |

Thanks, Roger. As an FF (Fielding Fanatic), the idea of the occasional score costing a little more because it's the only way to make back the money -- big deal. It's not like it's the rule rather than the exception. If people don't want to pay that much, they don't have to. I'm sure you'll have at least 1,200 who are willing and hopefully they'll be gracious enough to not whine while they spend the money. You're certainly not gouging. |

Roger... Though it would be pricey... I think we have to look back at the fact a lot of the 2 cd sets/ even 3 cd sets have been very reasonable in price during Intrada's history. Due to the fact it is a Jerry Fielding score... and his last... I will gladly pay the price to see this release...  Richard |

I wouldn't think twice about the extra $10 to have this released. Thanks in advance! |

Thanks for the heads up Roger. I agree, an extra $10 for those who want the score seems reasonable when you consider all the hard work Intrada does to bring these scores to the people who want them. Thanks again to everyone at Intrada for their efforts! James

Wowza....stupid Canadians (sorry guys!) I actually.....sorry Nick Redman....liked this film, but I like most POS horror films anyway. At least this one is nostalgic for the 80's and nicely atmospheric. The score is very good, and I'm in - Roger, you guys are pretty brave doing this, and might have.....a challenge moving it, but I hope you do, and looking at this thread, only have around 1195 copies to worry about. |

Too bad that the same will probably affect chance to ever see some more Canada-recorded scores (blame Canada!) like Free Willy 3 in more complete form :-/ |
