While we completely respect Henry Kaiser and his work, it is a pity to see that Jordan's wishes are not being honored. Jordan left specific instructions that the music not be changed on his films, and denied all such requests during his lifetime. It is quite possible that Kaiser did not know of these instructions, but others connected to his estate are aware.
We stand with Belson and his wishes, and do not show his films with alternate soundtracks. Especially those for which he composed his own soundtracks. We will honor an artist's wishes regarding his soundtracks and films. He also left specific instructions to Anthology not to screen *Cosmos* (he requested this of everyone, actually), but that's another issue, separate from the replacing music issue.
