Why is there no ROCKY set? It's popular music which would sell very well. We got ROCKY IV, where are the others? I don't mean to harp on this, but it's very frustrating to me.
The problem has been explained several times, including by Roger Feigelson of Intrada.
The rights are held all over the place. And, unlike 99% of other soundtracks, there are elements of these soundtracks that actually sold (and, to some lesser degree, still sell). So those rights-holders aren't eager to give them up.
Given that "Rocky" actually has less music than is on the CD, it's not a prime candidate for expansion.
If I were you, henry, I would put it out of your head. Miracles do happen, and maybe after years, some label will make this happen, and you'll be ecstatic. But don't assume it's in the works, because there's every indication that it isn't.
I think your better bet would be to hope for releases of the unreleased scores. There are all sorts of popular series with popular themes that don't have box sets. "Pink Panther," "James Bond," and on and on.

Releases of the unreleased scores would be great, but it doesn't look like that will happen either.

I think we must continure to enjoy what we have of the Rocky scores and hope that maybe one day we will get a box set of all the scores done in the best way possible. Clearly this isn't going to happen any time soon.

Yeah. Rocky music fell into the crack where there's too much commercial value to hand over to a boutique label, but not enough to get the big companies moving on a C&C project. Of course, the Star Trek films somehow escaped from there...

Same with Bond and Midnight Cowboy.
I don't think Star Trek soundtrack albums were that big in terms of commercial appeal. They are a bit more niche I think.
