Oh yeah, I'd love to get the "Dynasty" pilot score on CD.
I ripped selections from it and made three videos with the score. It gets insane hit counts; Part 1 stands at: 53,134 as of right now:

That and "Samurai Jack" get lots of hits.

Can anyone explain why the two Emmy Awards winning Dallas scores by Mr Broughton have never been released? I have all his music; I love it. But I miss his Dallas winning scores...
I'll take a stab at why I think they've never been released:
1. AFM re-use fees used to be really high, so doing TV scores was an issue.
2. Once upon a time, there was essentially two limited edition labels -- FSM and Intrada; some times the Varese Sarabande CD Club crept in. They had their sights on other things.
3. The cost of making a set of TV scores, as MV has stated, can be very very costly (see this thread where he states it). I wager a label would rather do a set than release two episode scores.
4. The changed AFM re-use fees that Lukas helped give us, have changed back to higher prices, so now it's expensive again to do certain things recorded with an orchestral that is unionized.
5. Access to studios wasn't what it was today.

This is just my opinion...
The Immel efforts were and are still mentioned (the entry has not been removed or changed) years ago on the Film Music Society website.
They're a small group, I believe, and it's a lot of work to get something like this done even if one composer (and they mentioned another series as well).
Plus, for some reason, the Film Music Society likes to operate in the exact opposite way of every other limited edition specialty label that I know of: they want you to pay for membership first, to fund their products. Obviously this doesn't work when you see that countless labels from Intrada, to FSM, to La La Land Records and others don't do that and they've released a ton of stuff. People obviously aren't big on this method and as a result there sits Film Music Society.
It could also be they are simply lazy. Maybe they are taking their sweet time. Maybe they lost the rights and didn't remove the entry from the site. Maybe they gave up the rights (maybe the rights expire after a certain time if the product doesn't come out -- just thinking). Maybe they never sought the rights and what they were doing wasn't right. I can only speculate -- it's been years later and they won't update their site or say anything here at the board when somebody brings it up.

The cost of doing older tv series is astronomical and they need to be guaranteed hits to pursue. Transfers alone would put you in the $20k to $30k range, and that's before producing and assembling, not too mentions advances, royalties manufacturing, etc...
WWW was a major gamble for us and it paid off. We basically broke even with a few bucks to buy us lunch. Now, a volume 2 will be less costly because the major work is done, so that's the good part of the equation. YAY!
That's great news and thanks for the insight, MV. I don't suppose you broke even on Space: Above and Beyond years ago? Otherwise a Volume 2 would be fantastic, particularly if it would cost you less than Vol. 1 did. I can even compile a list of great scores/cues left off those three excellent discs...
