In other situations the rights are owned by myself or someone who s easy to deal with, so it s possible for a record company to easily acquire those rights and put out a commercial version, unless they want to spend a lot of money sometimes. In the case of Secret of Nimh 2 they spent a lot of money recording it in London and while they were recording it, they made sure they had the full rights to a commercial soundtrack as well. In the case of Texas , nobody made any provisions for making a commercial release, so I put it together as a promotion record to submit for the Emmys. Some collectors of course like to get their hands on those promotion CDs. I recreated the Sinatra, the World War II sequence, and I wrote the arrangements in that style.
People have a hard time telling between that and the original because it s so much like it.
Same thing with one of the punk rock songs we could recreate. There was a tremendous amount of recording and recreations of styles I had to do with that film, much more than people would realize. There was a Columbia Pictures release many years ago. Citadel also put out a wonderful compilation CD with themes from Beastmaster, Splash, and so on. Your music seems like it would lend itself well to being performed live. .
