I like to keep things simple in these cases. Yes, a lot of people (including me) would like to have a definitive set of the Conti scores. But, complex situations such as this ought to be looked at one score at a time. And besides, the album presentations for Rocky I and II are very good as they are.

Anyway, what exactly is holding up a premiere score-only release of Rocky V? It is not highly coveted material among the general audience when compared to the original. Is it because of ridiculous merchandising concerns that no one in the real world even cares about?

Was EMI in control of it despite there being no album of this particular score recording? Even still, didn't UMG buy EMI's assets? Or is there currently too much confusion about rights since UMG must sell a portion of those assets under regulatory law?

A lot has changed since then with buyouts, but yes, the situation does appear to remain a massive cluster ****. Oh well, it is ultimately good not to get everything, even though the intro cue to Rocky V is a tremendously powerful recording.

Does the original music from the older Rocky films even exist?
