Any word on the Soundtracks?

Hey, guys. First post, so I'm sorry if it's already been covered...

I was wondering about the soundtracks, all of which - Raiders, Temple, Crusade, and the multiple volumes of Young Indy music - seem to be out of print. I expect (or at least hope) that the original trilogy soundtracks will be reissued to coincide with the release of Kindgom, hopefully in the same bonus-laden way the Star Wars soundtrack was some fifteen years back (the one in the rectangular box), though I'd be content with iTunes availability.

I am slightly less optimistic about the chances for the Young Indy music. I would love to have it, but am hesitant to pay $20+ for out-of-print secondhand CDs if a reissue is around the corner. Has there been any official chatter about any of the soundtracks becoming available -- particularly the Young Indy stuff?

So far,Nothing has been confirmed.Though I wouldn't be surprised to see them released in May.(hopefully as double disk sets with the full score)

As far as Young Indy goes,I seriously doubt they will rerelease them again.Which is a shame because there is some seriously good music on them.

Does anyone know if they plan to release the soundtracks again like they did with the Star Wars original trilogy? I constantly check for news on this and Amazon as well. I need to know because I plan on E-Baying the Temple of Doom soundtrack and those vultures want plenty.

Before this one gets locked or something, I'll just quickly say I'll try to find a link to a source for what I said earlier. I know I first came across it on the Film Score Monthly board; I just need to find the relevant thread(s) again...

Ah, here we go - from the FSM thread that first alerted me to it, I just found (and then remembered that I'd seen it earlier) the original source - John Williams fansite jwfan.net reported it near the beginning of the month:

John Williams' score for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be released on the Concord label on May 20, 2008. The company will also re-release the other three Indiana Jones soundtracks at a later date.

Well, there we go. Not much to go on, just yet, but there it is - rereleases at a later date (so I might've been wrong about "later this year;" I'll try to remember whether I inadvertently made that up or got it somewhere else from some other source).
