To clarify a bit about POTA, there were so many differences in the album mixes that including them all would have spilled over to a third disc anyway. So it made more sense to just have the album as a 3rd disc, which had the added benefit of making it easier to do the Fox and Sony math. If we'd used the album mixes for the film assembly it wouldn't be an accurate representation of what's heard in the film. Likewise if the album mixes were left off entirely then that would not be true to what Elfman wanted the music-only experience to be.

So what does the term 'mix' refer to here? Different volume levels of various parts, or actual different takes with possibly even slightly different orchestrations?
As far as I can tell from listening to other genres (rock, hip hop, electronic...pretty much everything except Michael Buble - yech!), when something is mixed differently, then yes, different parts may have different volume levels, and as Buscemi says, the instruments and audio may be slightly rearranged. (The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" is a great example; the single version is an infinitely better and crisper-sounding mix than the muddier-sounding album version. On the single version, the instruments come into the song one by one, on the album version, they're all mixed together from the beginning. Same song, same take, totally different mix, and both mixed by different people.)
If we're talking about a different take of the same song, with perhaps slightly different orchestrations, then I would call that an alternate version, not a different mix.
But, that's just how I understand it. I could be totally wrong, so if there's someone reading who can actually clarify that would be great.

Indeed, and that's why I asked. If it is the case, then I won't be buying this. If the recordings are actually different, especially if the OST version is as well, then I will.

There was no element that contained the pan-pipes. It was obviously a last minute addition at the dub, like the percussion in the Alien main title. Grabbing it from the DVD was a vetoed idea and it's already available there as opposed to alternates which are not; something would have to have been dropped in order to run the main title again. Adding material to disc 3 was also not an option.
Everything was actually slated either "film mix" or "CD mix" and there are differences in the prominence and sometimes even the placement of instruments, particularly with regard to the percussion.

Why is it regardless of who I order them from, the jewel boxes on the larger sets are always crushed. Sitting here opening my mail while listen to my new FD Varese finds, I opened my La-La Land package and the POTA jewel case is crushed!! La-La Land even went to the extra steps, bubble mailer, extra bubble wrap around the cases and the USPS has decided to let an elephant step of the package!!!!! The back was so crushed it did damage the back insert. I was able to replace the case for now from a lessor score CD (will replace that later). Any chances of boxes in the future?
