I shopped the Columbia stuff to a producer about two years ago shortly after I acquired an acetate of 5 of the unreleased tracks. He was very excited about the project, but after a flurry of emails, he stopped writing and has not responded to any of my emails since. I don't want to get everyone too excited, but another producer has recently expressed interest. I'll keep you all posted, but don't be too disappointed if nothing happens. As with all of these projects it would have to make money and, if the potential to make a profit is not there, no-one will touch it.
