here's something interesting! Inspector Gadget got his own CD's released! :-) French, there are some torrents out there. I'll have to download it once I get home. Came out along with the series in 83. Hmmm would be awesome if there was something for RGB but something likely would have surfaced by now right?

That's true. I mean, they had a He-man Score released, and I never even knew about it. Only a handful of He-man fans knew about this too, so it isn't impossible. But by now, it would of surfaced and there would of been mp3 rips of it.

yeah someone withholding that kind of information would be in for a serious beating…

LOL I think that we can safely say that Shuki Levys Real Ghostbusters score was never released. However his original recording must still be in the posession of Saban Music Group.

I did some more digging earlier and found something which may aid us in our quest to uncover these ancient treasures lol

After going to the Saban Music Group site I found the senior vice president of Saban Music Group, her name is Teri Nelson Carpenter.

http://www.saban.com/html/team/carpenter.html

As you can see there is no contact address on her page or on the entire Saban website for that matter.

I then went to Google and did a search for “Teri Nelson Carpenter” and found her name registered at this site:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/7A1/A38

I am now going to register with Linkedin and try to send her a message. I will ask her if Saban does indeed own this music (which I'm 99.9% sure they do) and also ask her if this music will ever be released. I will also let her know the demand for this music from the fans. Let's see if she responds. It will be very interesting to hear what she says. I'll post her response here as soon as I get one.

I have just thought of another idea which may be a possibility in getting the music released from Saban. Supposing they don't have any plans in ever releasing the music on CD or making it available for download. There is one other way which is a long shot.

My proposal is, what if us as a group bought the music, the original recordings off Saban Music Group? Everything has a price and Shuki Levys music is doing nothing in storage except collecting dust and cobwebs. Saban aren't earning anything from it. If I was Saban and I recieved an offer I'd be interested. If we asked Saban their price for the entire collection of Shuki Levys recordings and they cost say $5000 (a complete guess) we could try to get a group of fans together to split the cost between us. For instance 500 fans = $10 each. We'd have to decide which fan collects the recordings. That fan would also have to potentially get the recordings cleaned up and then transfered to a format which we can all listen to. Once that is done we would still have the original recordings which we as a group would have investment money in. If we wanted to we could resell it on ebay and get our money back. It's just an idea, another possibility.

sounds awesome! I emailed earlier today to say what a huge fan i am and how he has a devoted following of people that grew up with those songs and many others whether they knew it was him or not. At the very least, it'd be awesome if we could get one song. I wonder if had the series had less music, it would have gotten released. There was SO much, it would have been tough to fit on one CD I think.

The average song on the Inspector Gadget soundtrack was at least a couple minutes each. With 22 tracks. I'm positive the Real Ghostbusters music library had off the top of my head rough estimate, at the very least least 40 songs. I guess I kinda base that off I've “covered” roughly 23 songs on youtube even if a couple are really short cues and I know there are so many I haven't tackled. Some weren't used very many times though they still count.

I don't recall songs from Inspector Gadget as well but there was likely more to it too so that may have nothing to do with it.

Anyway here's a crude cut and paste job of probably my favorite tune from the show

I really hope we can get some answers and hopefully what everyone will want though the petition isn't looking too good. I can't believe more people won't sign it. I know the support is out there, it takes like 2 seconds.

Great to see the devotion here as well as the initiative to take the bull by the horns, Matthew. You are my personal hero if this happens. :p
It'd be so awesome to hear crystal clear versions of these songs.

You could try get AJ and/or Chris to have a article about the songs on their news pages, it might stir up more support.

Nice work on the editing together of that song, it's a lot smoother than my own effort to put together the RGB theme.

that'd be a great idea!

thanks Ben, a good bit of the song I was lucky plays for a somewhat extended time “uninterrupted” in “You Can't Take It With You” and “Follow That Hearse” the few shaky parts are my fault. :-)

I seem to remember your RGB instrumental theme splice being a very good attempt. :p I had it on my mp3 player.

I actually edited and made mine a little better since when I uploaded it. Guess I'll leave it though. (*winston)

Sorry Ben but who are AJ and Chris? If you're talking about the owner of Proton Charging (Castewar isn't it?) I did email him about the petition a couple of months ago when I created it as a plea for him to make it known to everyone on his news page. Just about every fan reads the proton charging news updates. It would be great exposure if he put it up there. Maybe if you guys email him too and give him the link he may just put it up.

Oh and another thing. I noticed that you have to pay to become a member on Linkedin. Is anyone here already a member? If you are could you please send Teri Nelson Carpenter a message and ask her about The Real Ghostbusters music? That would be a big help.

I love this thread has over 1600 views and the petition can't even make 50 signatures. (*egon)

Is there a way of sending a private message to everyone on this site at the same time?
