Long live the new flesh.
This is one has been on my want list forever. I think the reason of not having bought a copy is probably because I had the assumption this would have a re-issue. Don't understand why that is taking this long...
Hey Ben - I think that perhaps the reason for no reissue is that there are no masters for Videodrome, or something like that. Don't ask me why I believe this, but it's a nugget of pseudo-info that is buried deep in my cranium.
Also, I believe that the Varese OG release is a re-record of the score as opposed to the actual tracks used in the film mix, which would sort-of line up with my above Speculation Part A. Which again, is un-verified and coming from the same subterranean part of my noggin, or possibly based on the last time I listened to the LP closely after re-watching the movie. Or maybe it was discussed in an article a million years ago or somesuch.
Sorry that none of this bad journalism really helps get you a straight answer as to why this no-brainer reissue hasn't yet come about (especially considering Mongo's ongoing Cronenberg/Howard Shore campaign...)
