Fair enough comment Russell, but....

I don't think I'm the only one to smell a rat here. The Tarantula
link describes EXACTLY the Fanderson CD. Also, when Silva do
eventually release their UFO CD,its unlikely to be a 2 CD set with
140 mins of music(unless they are breaking with the pattern that
they have currently set). Tarantula ARE well known in film-music
circles for very professional bootlegs (their CD of John Scott's
score to THE FINAL COUNTDOWN was superb in both sound and quality of
the labelling...but John Scott has confirmed that the only legal CD
is the one that his own company has issued!)

With respect, their reply smacks of a company 'covering their
tracks' a little bit. Of course, should Silva confirm that they have
pre-announced a UFO CD to the soundtrack retailing trade then
everyone can take the Tarantula link as an invitation to pre-order
the (legal) SILVA release. But it doesn't mention 'pre-order' and it
doesn't mention Silva either! Strange that, eh?
