It is Dave Grusin's birthday on June 26!!! 
(Thanks to maddog for the heads up).

Grusin was born in LIttleton, Colorado....not too far from where I currently live.  I really like Grusin's style and enjoy several of his scores. I do not have much from him either but what I do have is nice and I like what I have heard on SST. We still need an official release of Grusin's best know score though, come on GOONIES!!! |

Prohibitive re-use fees (the score was recorded in Los Angeles) are holding back a release on that one. Warner Bros is known for having little interest in unearthing old scores that for them, would mean a very limited market, thus a very small profit.
An external company can do it (I know we tried), but this just means shelling out MAJOR bucks, plus the fact that this is not a mere license, it would mean having to pay for the whole thing (license, re-use, production), plus a costly remix/remaster since the original masters are known to be in very fragile condition. The only logical way to get this would be a complete re-recording.
The only two surviving cues (one in the original soundtrack from Epic, the other in the Grusin self-financed Cinemagic) are re-recordings.
Maybe... one day.

Wow, I think Grusin has a lot of stuff that is really good other than Goonies. I still do not have many of his CD's but I have enjoyed what I have heard here at SST of Random Hearts, The Firm and Havana. Plus I just recently picked up the release from FSM of the Yakuza which has some nice music in it too. I do not like the whole album, and it suprised me there was not some more asian influenced music but overall a lot of enjoyable music. I look forward to hearing more of his work in the future!
