I have created a petition as a request to Saban to make Shuki Levys music from The Real Ghostbusters available.

Please sign it and spread the word as well to everyone including all other Ghostbusters sites, all your Facebook friends and your email contacts. The more signatures the better.

http://www.petitiononline.com/rgbmusic/petition.html

I will hopefully be conducting an interview with Shuki Levy via email soon and will also explain to him what the petition is for and hopefully be able to get some answers as to why his music hasn't yet been released.

Once we get more than 500 signitures (if we do) I will send the petition link to Saban so that they can see that there is an interest in this music so that they may hopefully consider its release.

There's few petitions I'd actually sign given the usual fact that net petitions are ignored… hopefully something will come of this one, Matthew.

I don't think that we will ever get a chance to own or listen to this music if we don't do anything about it. Ghostbusters has a strong fan community. If we all put some effort into this petition by signing and also sending links to everyone we know who may be interested at least its better than doing nothing.

I would also appreciate it if someone could help me get a contact email address for Saban. There's no email address on their site and I must talk to them about this petition and the possibility of releasing their massive catalogu of music.

Saban didn't do the music for Power Rangers. He adapted and “created” the show based on a series in Japan, but the guy behind the music was Ron Wasserman (he credited himself as Aaron Waters though).

Just food for thought. But I'd love to get the score released.

Me too. Someone over at eyeofthundera.com is also trying to get Bernard Hoffers Thundercats score released through Warner Bros who hold the Thundercats licence. Apparently this person has managed to contact Bernard online and Bernard has kindly sent him some of the music which he created for the show. I hope Saban or Shuki Levy can do the same.

I'd be happy for just the John Smith version of Ghostbusters. I tried to contact them and Chase Rucker productions (they did the last few seasons) but was ignored by Shuki Levi and couldn't locate Chase/rucker, i think they went out of business.

Shuku Levi and Kussa Mahchi are the co-writers of the first Power Ranger theme, at least according to the CD jacket for the first MMPR movie. They're also credited with the first Digimon theme…which means Laura Summer isn't the only connection between RGB and Digimon (lol)

It's my understanding, based on when a similar topic came up on the Digimon boards (people asking why they switched to a completely different theme with the Digimon Frontier dub) that Saban's company owns the rights to the music Levi wrote while working for him (or at least the recording masters or somesuch. Music copyright law is not one of my specialties).

In other words, between interviewing Levy himself and sending the petition to Saban, this is probably about as good as start as he can get.

Ron Wasserman did the music for the first Power Rangers up until 1996. I don't remember Saban ever writing any of the song, only Ron, who did the music for the whole series.
