R/B Music Director Maury Laws Joins Rick in Recording Studio For Percepto Records Interview! |
On April 19th of this year, Rankin/Bass Music Compser/Director
Maury Laws arrived in a south
suburb of Chicago on a quiet Saturday afternoon. He was there to be interviewed by Rankin/Bass
Historian Rick Goldschmidt at Hair Bear Studios for a special CD project for
Percepto Records. (Percepto produced the
MAD MONSTER PARTY
soundtrack on CD as well as many other great film and television soudtracks - which are all
available for purchase on their site!)
Maury discussed his career as Rick guided him through the interview with questions that proceeded chronologically through Maury's entire body of work with Rankin/Bass. After nearly 90 minutes of recording, they called it a wrap. The master was edited and mixed throughout the following weeks and everyone has been very pleased with the final product which will hopefully be available in the near future!
