robert townson, who produced his first title which was "the final conflict aka. omen 3" under his masters film music label in conjunction with the label in 1986 took over in early 1989 and oversaw the label's growth into one of the greatest soundtrack labels in the world with a yearly output of approximately 50 titles on average from newly released films, restorations and reissues from other labels which started with reissues of sony lp titles (i.e. the chase, lion in winter, guns of navarone, etc.) in 1989, then reissuing many titles from the mca catalog (i.e. macarthur, ghost story, dracula, etc.) starting in 1990 which lasted until 2001 along with arista records (i.e. close encounters of the third kind, taxi driver, the fury, etc.), the decca catalog (i.e. the robe, airport, anastasia, etc.), bay cities in 1997 (i.e. 1941, private lives of elizabeth and essex, etc.) and reissues from their lp catalog that appeared as regular releases (i.e. lifeforce, the manhattan project, videodrome, etc.) and as soundtrack club releases (i.e. f/x: the deluxe edition, eye of the needle, last embrace, vamp, silver bullet, etc.). he also created a re-recording program which brought new audiences to older soundtrack recordings from composers who he had worked with personally on the label which included john williams, jerry goldsmith, john barry, alex north, elmer bernstein, alan silvestri, stu phillips and james horner (i.e. midway, body heat, to kill a mockingbird, patton, who's afraid of virginia wolf?, etc.) as well as produce new and complete re-recording of scores by golden age composers such as bernard herrmann, franz waxman and miklos rosza (i.e. pyscho, vertigo, sunset boulevard, etc.). the first and more importantly his first re-recording of a film score was a historic event in that it was for alex north's rejected score for stanley kubrick's sci-fi classic, "2001: a space odyssey" which the famed director completely threw out his score. conducting the event was north's best friend and oscar-winning composer jerry goldsmith with his favorite orchestra, the national philharmonic of london with north's wife, abby present during the recording. before this event took place, no one outside of north or goldsmith had heard this seemingly lost score until north's passing in late 1991 and this project came to light. his most important release was "spartacus" by his favorite composer alex north whom he was finally able to release his epic score (his personal all-time favorite) in 2010 to commemorate the film's 50th anniversary with an elaborate 6-cd set. coming in a close second and surprisingly was one of the best selling soundtracks of all-time in 1990 with the oscar winning film, "ghost" which featured a score by oscar winner maurice jarre and more importantly, the hit song from the film "unchained melody" sung by the righteous brothers which alex north co-wrote and was featured in north's full orchestrial composition in the film. the album sold over one million copies upon and after its' release. townson recently left the label in late 2018 after concord music bought the label to concentrate on live-concerts throughout the u.s. and europe.
