It turns out we are getting an expanded and remastered reissue of Lee Holdridge's Old Gringo! I just had the following exchange with Jon Broxton on FB, in response to his cool new review of the score as part of his Throwback Thirty series on Movie Music UK:
Yavar: Love this score and would buy an expanded reissue...I worry GNP Crescendo might hold the rights though and I don't think they'd find it worthwhile to pursue, since it's not Star Trek.
Jon: Lee himself just replied to one of my other posts about this. He says "BSX records, through their Dragon's Domain subsidiary, is planning a completely re-mastered CD, with many additional tracks that were left off the original CD. The remastering sounds amazing, wait until you hear it!"
Yavar: OMG! That's fantastic news! I know that the BSX/Dragon's Domain guys got their start at GNP over a quarter century ago, so I guess if anyone could/would do it, it would be them.
I always thought the sound could be improved too so this is really amazing news.

Thought other Holdridge fans might like to know...

Neat! Although it's a long shot, I hope that this can generate momentum for a premiere release of Vangelis' "The Plague", another film by Luis Puenzo (the director of Old Gringo)

Fantastic score and will happily purchase it. I hope they fix the reversed channels of that GNP release.

I hope someone gives them a heads up about that!  It may not be too late, even if they were unaware up until now...

I would imagine they'd notice when they were assembling the album. If someone can't notice channels reversed they shouldn't be allowed in the booth!

And yet, how many soundtrack albums have reversed channels?
I wouldn't assume; I'd shoot them a quick note and double check, if you're willing. (Or maybe they'll read this here thread, hopefully...)

This is really a wonderful score and deserves a revisit. One of Holdridge's finest, and that is saying something.

Please let it be more than a 500 limited edition...
It will be a bit more then that once the artwork gets approved by a number of folks
