Excellent. Love all these interviews with Roger. But, I will say, if that picture is of the old Intrada storefront, it looks like a poor design choice, having all of the CDs outside along the building like that. What if it rained?

I think that's two pics alongside each other but it's an optical illusion that makes them look like one!

Very intriguing interview. I was particularly interested in the section concerning their relationship with Disney. This particular passage caught my attention:
There was one title that we talked about co-branding that they elevated to the Legacy Collection, although it’s not on that slate yet (at least as far as I know). So who knows where it will end up? Just as long as it gets done, Legacy, co-branded, Intrada… I just want to see this stuff out there. It’s all good.
Mulan, perhaps?

Almost certainly Mulan. I hope Disney decides to let Intrada do it, so we can get great liner notes...

The word was the tapes were missing. Until in a July, 2012 interview with Underscores, Roger said he thought he had found them. I guess it turns out he did.

Fun interview, thank you for sharing.

Some comments of my own on this fine interview:
I wonder if Intrada did indeed pursue a license for Face of a Fugitive with Sony (before discovering that there were no elements).
I think Roger might be underestimating demand for Jaws 2 vs. Jaws. The latter has been available complete before, and despite the sub-standard sound quality a lot of people I think are content with the existing complete album (not me!) On the other hand, Jaws 2 has never been released complete, and even the existing album is loooong out of print so there's a lot more demand. And it is also composed by John Williams, let's not forget...
I didn't realize the Signature Edition series had been officially phased out at this point. I thought it was still going, albeit infrequently. It's a bit of a shame the market saturation has resulted in fewer "low profile" scores getting released. There were some great releases in that series like Randy Miller's Spartacus which I guess probably wouldn't be released today, except perhaps if MovieScoreMedia took an interest.
I really wish the global economic crisis could have waited just another decade, so that we could have gotten a last big push for Golden Age scores most of which now will probably never get released -- though the market has improved, much of the audience is no longer with us. 
I definitely think Mulan is the title that got "elevated" to the Legacy Collection series. I'm glad to hear though that Intrada is shooting for one Disney release a month. Maybe we'll get to some great Golden- and early Silver-Age scores now, like Clifton Parker's Treasure Island & Robin Hood, or William Alwyn's Swiss Family Robinson...oohhhh....Oliver Wallace's Darby O'Gill and the Little People would be a major grail for me!
WOW -- some hope for LucasFilm material, with Roger specifically interested in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles! And uncharacteristically for Roger, he talks of doing a "complete set" -- I thought Intrada didn't do big box sets, but maybe it'd be a multi volume series that's still complete along the lines of Intrada's Battlestar Galactica volumes rather than along the lines of LLL's Star Trek or Lost in Space. Either way, it'd be amazing! I'm assuming Varese didn't get perpetuity rights to these scores or it'd be considerably less likely.
Finally, it's good to know that they're still working on Volunteers and Conan the Destroyer. I hope with the extra time spent on the latter that they're piecing together the best performance possible from multiple takes, much as Mike Mattesino did so masterfully on Superman IV for the FSM Blue Box. Everyone said that one would sound terrible because it was performed by two different orchestras...and not very well, because of the small budget. But he made it sound fantastic -- not just the sound, but the performance!

That would be my guess too.

Lots of good news here! It's full steam ahead, so I assume the Disney classic titles are selling well.
Let's hope they are selling well. And I second Yavar's request for Oliver Wallace's score for Darby O'Gill. I actually only watched it for the first time this year on TCM and instantly fell in love with it (the music was a pretty big factor in that regard).
