It was on our list with Rhino, but I was not willing to wait for a year for it to be approved - after that happened with Billy Joe I was basically done doing that.
But the reality is, people used to post "Where is John Scott's Rocket to the Moon" all the time. I put it out. No one cared and it became one of our lowest sellers ever. This is why we don't put stock in these kinds of posts because in the end it boils down to five or ten people wanting and no one else caring.

Listen, I LOVE John Scott - I just spoke to him an hour ago and he was at last Sunday's Kritzerland show. I'm happy to have done it and I'm thinking we came close to breaking even on it. The Victor Youngs, while obviously not sellouts, did okay - no regrets there.

I’ll just point out that even though it was the rarer LP of the two, Rocket to the Moon was a comedy score, which (unfortunately) don’t tend to sell as well, as a genre.
Exotic action/adventure scores like The Long Duel tend to fare much better in terms of sales to film music collectors. I’m sure The Wind and the Lion has sold dramatically better than The Lonely Guy, for Intrada, although they are both Goldsmith...
Of course if it’s not worth the hassle dealing with Rhino, that doesn’t have anything to do with genre...

I was just going to point out exactly the same thing, so thank you Yavar!
Sure The Long Duel would be of bigger interest.

Well, I don't know who those people were who were asking for it, 'cause I certainly never saw them.
But that's no way to predict what will sell and what will not sell. I could go through the Kritzerland catalogue, for example (or any label's catalogue) and point out tile after tile of scores next to nobody was asking for, but the label did it anyway.
And yet a number of these titles, from various, labels, sell anyway. I could point out examples of titles you'd think would sell well, but don't (some with people who were asking for them over the years).
And my own two cents on that Scott score: for me it wasn't the cover, but rather the score. I'll leave it at that rather than get probably a little insulting.
