Oh, without a doubt!

That, and since you mention it, Back to the Future would be great... Those are the two I'm still waiting on!

It has to do with Geffen's rights from the original album. Either Geffen owns the entire score (it
was a Geffen production, right?) or just the score tracks on the original album (without which
any expanded reissue would be missing crucial material). In any case, it's not a matter of what
"deserves" to be released. It's just a very complicated situation. It's certainly not like the folks
at Intrada, FSM, BuySoundtrax, Prometheus, LaLaLand, etc. haven't thought of it.

I've just recently re-watched 'Gremlins' with Joe Dante's audio commentary, and he refers to Goldsmith's score at one point and how he's surprised it's never had an official release, although he does mention the bootleg scores. On the subject of classic 80s scores, how about Dave Gruisin's score to 'The Goonies' - surely one ripe for a special edition...

YES! Gremlins, Back to the Future, Goonies, The Lost Boys...I could go on and on. We need more 80's scores on CD!!!

Yes, more 80's scores. Have I ever mentioned My Bodyguard by Grusin for a release???

I doubt Back To The Future will get a release. MCA still holds the rights to the score and the original BTTF "album" is still in print. I'm pretty sure Varese would have to pay a hefty price in order to secure the rights to release a legit complete score for Back To The Future. That's probably something they're not wanting to do right now.

So those of you who are waiting for a BTTF release, don't count on it happening any time soon.

I am another person who would love this. Even Jerry Goldsmith himself expressed his displeasure at the poor album that came out and ran just over 30 minutes - even with the songs. As you say that's a real case of musicians union rules screwing things up and that's why it hasn't been released. Shame on Warner, all they care about is money!
