Any chance that this will ever be reissued on CD? So much Legrand stuff has come out on CD in recent years, including three different box sets, and this one is always overlooked. I would love to have this on CD.
Universal Music Group owns the Philips catalog now, and UMG isn't known for releasing old soundtracks on its own. One of the specialty labels would have to do it. Or more likely, Universal France would have to license it for some Legrand multi-disc set, like they just did with Quincy Jones' soundtrack LPs.
UMG controls a few other Legrand soundtrack LPs that have never made it to CD that could be put into a set:
Breezy (1973) [Clint Eastwood-directed film with William Holden]
Gable and Lombard (1976) [James Brolin and Jill Clayburgh]
A Matter of Innocence (1967) [aka "Pretty Polly"; Hayley Mills and Trevor Howard]

Ode To Billy Joe? -------------------------------------------- Ode to Billy Joe is Warner Brothers.
There is also "How to Save a Marriage (and Ruin Your Life)" from Columbia. Universal France licensed a few Sony-controlled LPs for their Quincy Jones box.
Also, isn't Kritzerland releasing Ode to Billy Joe as soon as all the ducks are lined up?
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but "Ode.." is published by Mancini's Northridge Music. The Bobbie Gentry record is actually the demo with strings added by Jimmie Haskell.
