Shouldn't those be in an archive somewhere?
Yeah... and what's up with the letter?

I would have thought Disney, Universal would own the respective recordings. I know I wouldn't want them in my possession once they came 'a callin.'
They come from the estate of John Neal, who was a sound engineer for Lucas and Spielberg. I believe he passed away many years ago.
BTW: If these are the masters how were the Special Editions of these scores produced?
This is a good question, since I thought the Star Wars and Empire Special Editions were sourced from the original masters?

This really annoys me.
Why?
Who is doing this?
Those items are priceless.
Whoever ends up buying them - will no doubt simply leave them in a garage or something like that I presume, it will gather dust. We will not see those scores get the proper deluxe treatment they deserve.
Why couldn't they do a proper release before they sell it to a person who might not even give a shit about the music anyway!
If an investor buys it, then we are all screwed.....
When I say investor, I'm talking about a rich politician or someone with a high paying job for example.
On the other hand, if someone like Intrada or La La Land buys it.... or possibly Lukas Kendall, Michael Matessino, Neil S. Bulk for that matter, then I know those will be in safe hands.
But then again, it is an auction. Those should have NEVER been put up on ebay. What is the world coming to????
All about money.... Somethings should be left as they are, or talked about with a few people - if they didn't want to do the proper mastering, then give it to someone who will.

Hopefully these will fall into the possession of the American Heritage Center or the AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences).

I wouldn't be so sure... there are a lot of people who buy film prints (especially Star Wars prints) for the purpose of preserving them, not to add to a collection or let them rot. Whoever buys the reels at these prices probably wouldn't let them go to waste or at least I would hope not! I hope someone reputable or a reputable company gets a hold of them...

Will one of the label producers weigh in on this? What does this REALLY mean? Is it as tragic as it actually seems?
