It's Buckaroo Banzai! People have asked and it's totally unexpected! (Mostly because it's almost certainly not that.)

8 Skinner LPs on 4 CDs would be pretty neat. Roger has indeed expressed interest in Skinner, and explained that elements problems were at fault for the lack of releases. He said only the LP programs existed for most of his scores, and even said that most of the tapes themselves were lost, so that LP transfers would have to be used. That might explain a 4 disc budget set. As for Rozsa, perhaps the other UMG-owned album that could make a fourth disc with the Polydor albums getting a separate disc each (common with UMG titles): A Time to Love and a Time to Die...hopefully expanded but perhaps the complete score is lost and that isn't possible. OR maybe it's not a UMG Rozsa set but rather a Universal Pictures Rozsa set, possibly still with that expanded A Time to Love and a Time to Die, but instead of being accompanied by the Polydor albums, all the surviving bits and pieces from his Universal-owned scores. Everything Rozsa surviving at MGM and Paramount (and Warners?) has already been done... Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (complete & remastered?) A Time to Love and a Time to Die Kiss the Blood Off My Hands The Naked City A Woman's Vengeance Criss Cross Song of Scheherazade Secret Beyond the Door A Double Life Brute Force Time Out of Mind The Killers Because of Him Lady on a Train Fragmentary nature of what survives might explain why it would all get bundled into one set.

Still waiting for Conan the Destroyer here. I'm getting old, dudes! Thank goodness for that comma!

Still waiting for Conan the Destroyer here. I'm getting old, dudes! It's been here for awhile, the PROMETHEUS album is a vastly superior performance then the OST. Basil HATED that recording with a passion. Ford A. Thaxton

That might explain a 4 disc budget set. Yavar, is the upcoming 4-CD set of Golden Age music going to be 'budget' priced?

The only other quote I've seen on it is: For you "Golden Age" aficionados that liked The Caine Mutiny, enjoy looking forward to one of our upcoming releases that'll help us wrap up the year with. It's a long-in-production world premiere 4-CD set crammed with just your kind of stuff! --Doug

I was just speculating about why Skinner material might be consolidated on a 4 disc set. Usually multi disc sets are at least somewhat cheaper per disc. Yavar

The Rózsa Polydor albums seem unlikely, for purely mathematical reasons. There were three LPs that would fit on two CDs. Even if, for whatever reason, each CD duplicated the LPs, it's still only three. It seems extremely unlikely that they would add an additional disc or two with other Rózsa material, especially given Intrada's general reluctance to do large sets. Skinner? Seems a long shot. Even around here, he is not exactly a household name. I am almost completely unfamiliar with his music, and that may well be my loss. But even if they offer the set at a discount, a four disc set seems like a big bite for such an obscure composer. It really doesn't seem like the sort of thing Roger would promote as "guaranteed to make golden age fans very happy." For such a guarantee, it feels like it would have to be a name-brand composer. Assuming Herrmann is out, given the Stylotone situation, that would leave the likely candidates Ròzsa (obviously, an Intrada favorite) at some studio they haven't exhausted yet, Newman, Steiner, Korngold or Waxman, with Friedhofer an outside chance. Or else it's not one composer, as somebody else here suggested, but a set united thematically by genre or director or some such thing. So I've solved it, everybody! It's any of the above, or something completely different!

Still waiting for Conan the Destroyer here. I'm getting old, dudes! It's been here for awhile, the PROMETHEUS album is a vastly superior performance then the OST. Basil HATED that recording with a passion. Ford A. Thaxton I'm not sure what the point of this post is. Is to say that because Basil hated the original soundtrack it shouldn't be released? Or that because he hated it we all should hate it? Personally I have no issue with it. It's not as if the orchestra hits any wrong notes in the performance. The performance nuances that drove him bananas aren't something most of us would notice because only he knows the sound he was trying to get. We only know what it is. It's still going through its endless clearance, but packaging and master is all done. As it has been for well over a year!
