Back from a three-mile jog. I listened to Poltergeist II again this afternoon, five days after the last time I heard it, and I have to say I love it and it, for me, is a huge step up in quality from the previous CDs - each of those had their own peculiar thing I didn't care for, but we've fixed it all - my mastering engineer is thrilled, too, as he should be. It took him five solid days to do it and it cost three times what most of our masters cost, but it was worth every penny. I can't wait to see which label thinks they're now going to grab this to put out again - the two biggest of them both said releasing this score was completely not of interest to them, even though it's never been released complete. Then they go and do their own completely unnecessary fourth issue of some CD adding ten seconds or something. It is to laugh. I guarantee you, one of these folks will be on the phone if people love this CD as I hope they will. And they will fail because I have protected us from that happening, just as I did with The Missouri Breaks. One of those two labels was on the phone trying to license our work as soon as it was sold out. Oops. And they would have put it out just as we did and would they have credited those who did the work? I know what my guess is.
