no offence, but its highly impossible. if im not mistaken, they mentioned BOYS would have a second batch release, and that didint happen.
and they even mentioned Sivaji the Boss to have an OST release, but i dun see any news on it anymore. its quite tough for a Tamil film to have an original OST release. i think the only Tamil film that had OST release was Chandramuki, music by Vidyasagar. ofcource, there were other movies too, but those was ripped from DVD as well.. :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "rivjot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would be over the top of the world and it would be the best day of > my entire life when that all the BGMs will be released as a box set > ahhhhh i can only imagine... > > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Chord" <purevibz@> wrote: > > > > You know, a lot of this would be put to rest IF THE MUSIC COMPANIES > > WOULD ONLY RELEASE THE BGM SCORES LEGALLY SO THAT MUSIC LOVERS WORLD > > OVER CAN ENJOY AWARD WINNING BGM SCORES BY ARR WITHOUT INFRINGING > > COPYRIGHT LAWS!!!
