Soundtrack Library is no longer in business, but some of their titles can still be purchased through www.intermezzomedia.com and www.arksquare.com.
SLC is no longer in business, but some of their titles can still be purchased through www.arksquare.com and perhaps www.intermezzomedia.com as well.
Reflex Records was a subsidiary of a Japanese "fanzine" (fan magazine for film score buffs) and as far as I know they are no longer printing CDs (or magazines for that matter). Reflex Records CDs show up on eBay once in a blue moon, and usually sell for large amounts of money because of the high quality and rarity of the discs (only 150 copies of each disc were printed). I've seen the Reflex Records release of Vangelis' "The Bounty" (2-CD set, not yet featured on this website) on eBay a couple of times in the last couple of years, and the Reflex release of Brad Fidel's "Fright Night" on eBay only once about two years ago (and I won the auction...yay!), but I haven't seen it for sale anywhere since. Rumor has it that Reflex Records also released the complete soundtrack from "The Shining" (1980) on CD a few years ago, but I've never laid eyes on a copy.

American Nightmare, can always depend on you. Thanks, man.
I was looking at my Spacecamp disc and was trying to determine if Stk Listeners Comm. was a division of anything. There's a few things referring to RCA Victor/BMG, so I'm guessing the rights reverted back to them??

SLC was not a division of anything. It was founded by mr. Yasuhiro Wada who was a soundtrack fan himself. He started his label in Japan. The first soundtracks were LPs, only a few titles. Then he changed to CDs. He was devoted to his work, had contacts all over the world to release the greatest scores. He did all the Varese titles for the Japanese market with far superior artwork. He loved Italian scores. I met him a couple of times in Italy and L.A. When he died (cancer) the company management was unable to keep it running. A great loss.

Wasn't soundtrack library a bootleg label. I'm sure that was the label that Goonies/ Harry and the Hendersons (correct me if i'm wrong) was released on.

Correct on both counts, useless.
By the way, if you type "soundtrack library" into the search box above you can view a list of all of the Soundtrack Library releases that are featured on this website. There are 69 releases in total, I believe.
