But no one has yet addressed my idea of a compilation of non-LP cues. This would serve as a complement to the RCA albums and would not "compete" against them.
And I hear what you are saying. And, depending upon the wording of the contracts, this could be a possibility. BUT IF a contract very simply gives RCA the exclusive right, forever, to issue any music from a score, it wouldn'y matter if the music appeared on an LP 40 years ago or not; it wouldn't matter if the new release complements, duplicates, or doesn't even resemble any LP; it wouldn't matter if the new release is comprised of music from one score that RCA has the rights to or from many, and it wouldn't matter if the new release is called by a film's name or is titled "Grant Whistles Dixie." No one, but no one, other than RCA could issue a note of the music, now or forever . . . unless the pile of gold proffered was big enough.
As one indication as to how airtight the RCA contracts must be, have you ever wondered why there have never even been any re-recordings of the complete scores to any of these famous Mancini films? Labels have been able to license individual tracks or short suites for compilation albums, but the asking price for licensing a complete score must be prohibitive.
I look forward to the day some label can breach the wall.
