There's a lot of great scores out there that will probably never see the light of day.
"The Town That Dreaded Sundown" (Jaime Mendoza Nava) and the 1976 version of "The Hills Have Eyes" (Don Peake) are two I've been hoping for. Not to mention an obscure early 70's television film "Crawlspace". Mananged to see the film a few weeks ago after so many years. What a great Jerry Goldsmith score that is.
I suppose the masters for many are lost forever or else the rights are tangled up in so much red tape like eveything else.
In the early 70's Tony Thomas created his own label and released small pressings on vinyl of many classic Hollywood scores by Hans J. Salter. Luckily, the composer personally saved the original acetate discs of some of his scores from the 1940's and 50's. Otherwise I'm sure they would have been lost forever.
Years ago, film studios regularly loaded boats full of film prints and dumped them overboard in Santa Monica bay in California in order to make room in their warehouses for the new films. That's one of the reasons so many films are considered "lost" these days.

(tharpdevenport) I just preordered a copy of "The Hills Have Eyes".
Thanks for the heads up on this one. I've been hoping for a release of this score since watching the film about 10 times at the drive-in when it was released in 1977. Years ago I hoped Varese Sarabande would release it.
I've had a copy of the original one sheet film poster for quite awhile.

Since it's a Warner Bros list, I'd add Batman & Robin.

And Disney are even worse! Think about it. Candleshoe, The Cat From Outer Space, The Spaceman And King Arthur, The Richest Cat In The World, Condorman, Greyfriars's Bobby, The Watcher In The Woods, The Barefoot Executive!
