Bruce has revealed on another forum that the soundtrack for this 1943 all-black Fox musical is "coming shortly" from Kritzerland.

It was already released years ago on the Fox/Arista label.

The film was restored last fall and was just released on blu-ray via Twilight Time. Presumably this new release will have better sound and possibly extra tracks, compared to the original release (which I've had for years.)

We'll just have to wait and see. After all -- one never knows, do one?

Will the supposed rejected score by William Grant Still, who was originally hired, possibly be included if recorded?

Yes, you have THAT version of it, taken from 1/4inch reel-to-reel tape. This version is something wholly other, a two CD set with everything, including the bits of underscore and the complete numbers (some are truncated in the film). It's an astonishing piece of work and is one of the most glorious things I've ever heard.

WOW! Sounds great! Can't wait for this one! I hope you can do similar for other, unreleased, Fox musicals (Grable, Faye, etc).

Wow...sounds fantastic. There's an incredible amount of talent in this film performing at their creative peak. I was fortunate to see Cab Calloway perform in Toronto in the early '90s and he still had "it".

Bruce, that's surpassingly wonderful news. As ever, I look forward to being one of your very happy customers.

***

PS: If there IS any chance of pursuing other Fox musicals, might I be so bold as to suggest: DADDY LONG LEGS. This classic has never had a proper release, not even in the 1955 LP era. The remarkable synthesis of music by Mercer, North and Newman certainly deserves preservation, and I, for one, would love to hear the unheard song, "History of the Beat," which (except for its introductory verse) was deleted from the film...

Hopefully, this will come after Bruce's long promised Victor Young [vol.2] CD.

A 2 CD set? Great! I always liked the film and the songs, it's a must-buy for me. smile

Bruce, will you issue the Victor Young Vol. 2 shortly?

Say Cody, didn't Stormy Weather play at the RKO Chester in the Bronx in 1943? smile

It sure did ! Just google the RKO Chester and you can find a picture of the marquee below the elevated train line.
PFK, do you get the feeling that Bruce is avoiding us ? I hope not. He's the one who got us in touch with each other. I hope he still loves Victor Young.

Young will be with us at some point - it's still being worked on.

Stormy Weather is next. Many good things coming after.

I've been busy opening a show I directed. Crazy.

Thanks for the reply Bruce. Cody and I are kidding a bit, we sure appreciate all your CDs and hard work.

I'll buy Stormy Weather for sure! smile

I hope some of these missing songs will be on there, especially "Nobody":
