Crossed Goldsmith's Small Soldiers and Williams's The Cowboys off the list! Best Varese batch expansion twofer EVER! (I'm even more over the moon about the Williams than the Goldsmith!)

So Happy for The Cowboys and Small Soldiers finally here! But, my holy Varese grial to be expanded, and I know Yavar agrees with me, it´s Carlito´s Way. Please. Make it happen.

Oh yeah! I'm pretty sure that's the only 90s Doyle title Varese does still control, and it happens to be one of my very favorites of his scores so I hope they do it. But I think I wanted The Cowboys complete more than anything else (plus the old one had major mastering problems!)
Now my top wants for Varese complete releases are probably Carlito's Way, Love Field, and most of all, Christopher Columbus: The Discovery...Cliff Eidelman's magnum opus.

Two questions,please:
Needful Things is also Varese title, right?
Shipwrecked complete would be a thing for Intrada/Disney, right?
Thanks!

Correct on Shipwrecked since it was a Disney film and Disney-owned album. But personally I already find the score disappointingly repetitive on album, easily the least of Doyle's early efforts (almost all amazing except this one).
As for Needful Things, Varese did release the album but apparently (I forget where I learned this) they don't control any Doyle 90s titles beyond Carlito's Way, so the other ones must not have been perpetuity licenses for whatever reason. Supposedly, as with LLL expanding Dead Again (also originally a short album on Varese), any other specialty label can do Needful Things and the rest if they are so inclined.

I updated the first post to remove On Deadly Ground by Poledouris, but I'm leaving A Show of Force by Delerue because the complete score as recorded was 45 minutes but Varese only released an Encore Edition in their last batch. (Their third title was Dracula by Williams...one of my most wanted expansions but not one they held in perpetuity -- they licensed the original program from MCA -- so I hadn't included it in my list.)
Excited to see which of these titles might be included on Robert Townson's imminent final Club batch! Will he finish off the Varese-controlled Poledouris action scores and put out HOT SHOTS PART DEUX: The Deluxe Edition? Surely there will be a final Goldsmith expansion from him at least...

Further more, even if he did know it was his last, that's not how it even works. It's what has finally passed all the signs offs and is ready to be sold. Now it could be, since he said it was the last batch he worked on, that he held off and waited for every last single title I worked on to be done so he could announce in one grand good-bye batch (which in of itself is iffy).

It's entirely possible that Robert has known for a while that this would be his last batch; he could have had hints long before this was public knowledge. But I will concede that it's only a small chance, and these are probably just another regular batch with nothing particularly special. On the other hand, I do think we are due for another Goldsmith expansion since the last batch didn't include one.

Dammit, Yavar. This is a Le Blanc move, bumping your own post even though we're already discussing it elsewhere (in two other threads)! Yes, yes, this is just you reminding people of the perpetuity titles again, but dammit, man. Damn. It.

Even though it wasn't one I was waiting for, I'm really happy for all those who were pining after a Deluxe Edition of Leonard Rosenman's Robocop 2 (I think this is the only Rosenman score Varese held in perpetuity).

I removed Iron Will from the McNeely wish list in my first post, because Intrada has just announced a 77 minute complete edition!

I would surmise from this that Disney did not typically (or ever?) grant perpetuity rights to outside labels, even though it was Varese's standard policy at the time to get perpetuity rights. In this they were like StudioCanal (Total Recall, Basic Instinct, etc.) so going forward we can probably assume that anything Disney-owned is fair game for Intrada to expand, even if there was a previous album on Varese.

Removed Air Force One from the first post -- too bad Randy Newman's score wasn't included but getting the Goldsmith/McNeely score is still great news.

I wonder what we'll be crossing off the list in a week or so...

The list is missing one of my favorite thriller scores -- George Fenton's FINAL ANALYSIS. Come to think of it I'd add Seaquest and Year of the Comet (Barry) to the list.

I’ll do that Roger! I love Fenton and Final Analysis too — thanks for reminding me about it.
