FSM'ers, any thoughts on the possibility of Williams' "The Reivers" getting a remaster/expansion? Trying to decide wether or not to buy the 33 min 1995 release now, or hold out...
Buy it. It's a rights mess. May not happen for awhile

Should have asked about "The Cowboys" as well. That is also on my buy/not buy list at the moment. Thanks!
Varese owns it in perp

The Reiver is great, for a good alternative presentation, try Stage and Screen on Sony Classical, a JW/Boston Pops album which also has some Copland (The Red Pony if I remember rightly) and a suite from Born on the Fourth of July. However, the orchestral suite (with narration) from The Reivers is terrific and perhaps sounds a bit more like it would sound if JW had scored The Reivers a decade or two later.
Random question on the suite, I've not seen the film, but is the terrific horse race music in the Stage and Screen suite from the film? If it is, then it's (inexplicably) not on the soundtrack album, but if it's not, then presumably JW fleshed out the music for the suite. Any insight? Thanks.

I love this suite on the album mentioned above. Starngely I also wondered about the last horse race music if it was in the film. Possibley Williams wrote it to the film but it didnt get used. Or Williams must have adapted the score for the concert piece. It would be great to have this score as well as 'The Rare Breed' as these scores go hand to hand. Wish these two get a complete re-recording fleshed out from Tadlow someday. (In restrospect I remember a wonderfull suite for The Rare Breed also recorded on Williams Silva Screen recordings]

I'd second, err, third, the recommendation for the suite on the Sony album. The narration may not be everybody's cup of tea, but in and of itself (by cranky old Burgess Meredith) it's terrific, and you'll also get a wonderful rendition of Copland's classic The Red Pony (second only to André Previn's version, originally on CBS, now also on Sony), and three marvellously played pieces from Born on the Fourth of July. And wait, there's also Copland's Quiet City.
Terrific album. Go get it!
