Still no one provides a link of this news. I can't find it in a Google search either.
Babbelbabbeltje already stated it's posted on Walsh's personal facebook, so you'd need to friend him in order to view it. I don't doubt either messenger or message, I think Walsh has good intentions and wants this out, but last time he couldn't do to rights issues and I hope whoever is putting it out has got that in order.
And yeah, these scores have been on a lot of grail lists, and La-La's He-Man release certainly has proven the demand is there.

While I'm not in the market for either of these (but am very happy the material was found and will make others happy), I'm hoping this means material from (the related, production-wise) Sunbow's Dungeons & Dragons was also located.
Aside from the original title theme and a poor single on an old CD, that series has never had a release due to the master tapes disappearing in the late 80s.
Obviously these are in the pipeline as the Transformers/GI Joe tracks are all posted on YouTube and have been for quite some time. So at least we know that they DO exist. Now we just need the proper release with the mastered tracks. My money is certainly waiting to fly out of my pocket.

Those are not the actual tracks. The music on Youtube has been made by filtering out the dialogue from the series. For some reason it seems to be easy to do with these old cartoons when you have the right computer programs.
I do hope it's coming this time, as others pointed out this has been announced prior.
It has been announced before , but who knows what has changed this time? If I'm not mistaken, mr. Walsh does have the original tapes or the music in his posession.

Sorry, you are wrong. The songs begin and end and are complete with no FX, fades, pan issues or dialog. Go listen again....or did you even look? Here you go turbo...
Those youtube links sound like they are suffering from volume swings and sound awfully processed? And you can detect faint sfx sounds in the background. Anyway, I've listened to the occasional fan-made rips and even tried to do rips myself (when the G.I. Joe sets had 5.1 surround tracks) but the end result is so 'mediocre' it wont compete with any properly mastered release.

Yes I know them and they sound great, but they are still filtered from the tv shows. I've had a Twebsite specialised in Transformers music for some 10 years and been there when those tracks first started appearing. E-mailing and interviewing a lot of people. I even made some of those tracks myself (those sound awful). So I know my "transformers music"

Thanks for the info!
Any chance of a screenshot of exactly what Mr Walsh said?
Did you get hold of that 6-CD boxset that came out in Japan? Always wondered if that was worth tracking down.

I'm not sure if I should make a screenshot, because it was on his personal page....perhaps I shouldn't even have put this info on here at all!
The 6 cd set was the one with all the songs right? There were two boxes out, I haven't looked at them for a while now. The Japanese background music one is a great one, the one with all the songs...well. If you like all the Japanese theme songs again with instrumental versions. It's not really worth the money to be honest. It does have a nice booklet, probably very informative if you can read Japanese.
Definitely interested in Transformers and G.I. Joe.
I'm still waiting for at least a sampler of Shuki Levy's music from The Real Ghostbusters. It's the best scored animated series, IMO.
At least the DVD sets had a few episodes that were score/SFX only, so it was possible to enjoy a few to some extent. Still, a complete score would be unbelievable.

I'm with you on a release, but saying that's the best scored animated series is way out there when you have things lke "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Justice League" out there. It's almost like saying the Rambo cartoon had the better scores than the films.
I own the DVD set that has the isolated music & fx tracks on selected episodes. Adjusted volume for dialogue, often mixed too low and hissy and still heavy on sound effects, you can try to piece together more coherent versions of the cues but most of them just have too many sound effects (especially the action cues).
A properly mastered soundtrack would easily make these rips obsolete; I'd even go for a synth re-recording if it's done well enough to mimick the original cues.

I want more Levy and Saban released on CD. Priority over all (well, except One Of Our Dinosaurs is Missing).
I'm still stumped as to which label is doing these releases. LLL ruled out, Intrada don't really do electronica or boxsets, and it's obviously not Kritzerland. BSX maybe?
