Thor disapproves of expanded; nothing will ever change that. When he produces cds of scores he will set them as he sees fit, and all those who agree with him will praise them, and those who don't will curse them.
I prefer a complete score, and when I produce cds of scores I will do them as I see fit, and those who agree with me will praise them, and Thor et al will curse them.
That's the way it's always going to be, and no one is going to convince anyone to change his or her mind, so...

Ummm...LOL...did you miss the fact that this thread is the ORIGINAL start to Thor's dislike for expanded scores?
I think the producers should just pick their favorite cue and only put that cue on the disc.
Perhaps they think only a part of that cue is the best, so maybe it should be edited, too, for the best parts.
Or, better yet, if they aren't crazy about anything in the score, leave the disc blank and unfinalized, and we can re-use it for something else, or have some quiet time.
Manderley: I think the producers should just pick their favorite cue and only put that cue on the disc.
I think every soundtrack should include only the composer's favorite note from the score, held for precisely 2-5 seconds at a constant volume. It would be okay if it fades out to the end.
.....When FSM runs out of ideas for composer collector cards, I think they ought to merchandise coasters of the insert cover art of all their releases.....
Good idea!
.....and make the jewel cases a little bigger so they can be used for pins, paperclips, pocket change after we've thrown out the expanded cds inside!

The problem is, do we label this the "Main Title", "Entr'Acte" or "Exit Music"?
While I agree that "expanded" or "complete" releases ruin a listening experience, you can always retrack the album to what the original was.
Also - this thread strikes me as egotistical and masturbative, as if you feel the need to validate yourself on a soap box speech. Give it up - different strokes for different folks and leave it at that. Not every opinion needs to be heard and not every arguement is intelligent.
But then, this is what you're good for and known for, Thor. Poking the wasp's nest for no reason other than to shove your opinion down people's throat like Montgomery Clift's teeth.
