I'd definitely be keen for that... add it to the G1 movie soundtrack. :D

[DELTAprime]

YES! YES! YES!

[millhouse]

F*** yeah.

I remember contacting Mr. Walsh back in 2009, asking if he retained the rights for his BGM in Transformers (and G.I. Joe). He responded, saying he would love to release them one day, but was in litigation over said music.

It's awesome to hear he was successful. :)

I'm not sure I want that much Gewun tv music, I already have the movie soundtrack. I'd like to see them do a compilation disc with the major themes from all the above series.

[UltraMarginal]

I can't describe how excited I am for this.:eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Polursine]

Definitely a long overdue announcement. The ripped tracks I have, though riddled with sound effects, are good for what they are, but an official release means opportunity for other things to get released *cough*Transformers Prime Season 2 and 3 soundtracks *cough*

I only recently discovered the Transformers Prime Season 1 score CD was a thing at all.

I've got ripped versions from G1 like you, and am happy for nice full recordings. The TF music, particularly the early stuff, is very memorable and familiar.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I will give them all of my Zenny for this.

Definite buy!!

Woo woooo!

[TAAUBlaster]

This is awesome news, and I'm looking forward to it! Unfortunately the music that Jazz is usually blaring won't be included because it was from a different composer :(

[Robzy]

Absolutely awesome news

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

Son of a! :mad:

That was the track I was looking forward to the most! :( I just hope they include it for completeness because I can't believe they wouldn't include the Kinder & Bryant theme either just because Walsh didn't compose it.

[Jaxius._]

It would be great if it came with a Blaster and Soundwave reissue :D

There's some more info in the comment section on Allspark. User D.M posts "One downside is that music by Johnny Douglas won't be featured, but from what Rob told me, it seems only the generic rock-disco theme will be left out as that was done for Spider-Man. Apparently Johnny left the show very early on so few themes that he composed specifically for Transformers ended up being reworked by Rob."
Someone asks to clarify if he means the music that Jazz is usually playing and D.M confirms this along with another quote from his interview "No, unfortunately those tracks won't be included. There were a few cues Johnny wrote that were used, but the music for the series was revamped when I came on right at the beginning, and nearly every cue was mine in those shows, although the credits were messed up in post. I wrote perhaps 15 hrs total of new music in creating the shows. He did write the My Little Pony theme, and did some great orchestration on it. He was a talented writer." The post was later edited to signify that this past statement is a general one concerning all the shows and not just Transformers. :(:(

:(:(

That just plain sucks balls! :mad: :(

Hopefully this spurs the HQ bootleg trade, because that's probably the only way we'll hear it in any sort of quality better than this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3KhCXfPlmU).

That or we may get it in another 30+ years...

Yeah, I was so disappointed when I read it. That was the track I was looking forward to the most. :(

Apparently there is a guy who has been doing a Kickstarter for a while, to try and remaster the whole soundtrack from the episodes. Might be the only way we get the "Jazz" rock music. :(

[EDIT] Unless there is a Spiderman soundtrack in the future? We might see it on that maybe.

That's probably going to be the only "official" way, unless the Walsh release becomes so popular they go back and try to get the rights to include every bit of music... I doubt it though... :(

[Paulbot]

That track is so popular?! I'd like it included too but to get everything else will make me happy.

This is the guy you're referring to.

I ran across it about a year ago, seems he (and Zobovor) have already done a painstakingly large amount of work on this project, wonder how they feel about this news... If you dig through the links on that page there's heaps of remastered/semi-remastered tracks to download.

Either way, I'll be buying the cd for sure.

It is a pretty cool piece of music.

Thanks! I couldn't for the life of me find it. haha
Those poor guys must be gutted. As you said, they have done an amazing amount of work on this project. :(
But I think their release will still be sought after. The official release will be missing some pieces, so while it will probably be a great release, these guys are working to release everything.

[5FDP]

I'll be onto this as fast as Megan Fox pops out babies ;)

[Bidoofdude]

Fantastic. Would love to use some in stop motion stuff.

So what's going on with the official Sony release??? :confused: Any news?

[Sinnertwin]

Wow. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now 😒

Nothing! All gone quiet unfortunately... :(

Damn, I was looking forward to it, after all the hype... A pristine, stereo remaster would have been awesome!

Yeah, was looking forward to it as well! Who knows, maybe in another 10 years... :p:(

Can only imagine all the red tape involved in getting the project out there...

Yeah, that would be the project killer right there!
