I'm surprised they even had original master recordings I remember reading somewhere that studios threw the old magnetic reels and tapes out in favor of digital copies in the 80's, apparently Universal was not one of them.

Does this mean that the masters for the back to the future scores were burned were not they released on mca records and tapes?

Vivendi sounds familiar are they are videogame company?

by the way Howard the Duck is available on dvd and uncut if you live in the u.k. PAL speedup and all that if you want a copy and live in the u.s.a.
