I usually prefer expanded and complete releases over the shorter ones but in the case of SPEED, a score that I like very much, I find myself playing the original Fox release much more often than the complete LLL version. Since the complete version includes a lot of previously unreleased atnospheric stuff at least IMO it takes a lot of speed out of SPEED. I find the original Fox version to be a perfect listening experience.
I wonder what the other board members think.
And nevertheless I am happy to have the complete version as well

Having grown up in a time during which heavily edited score albums were the only alternative (if a score was released at all), I always prefer the complete version - since I can easily create my own playlist from it that may omit tracks I´m not so fond of.
Sometimes, of course, when the edited version was around for ages, I have grown so comfortable with it that a complete version feels weird to me (at first). My preference for the edited version (in the case of SPEED) is there, but I welcome the additional material and different flow of the complete album.

Whilst enjoying having BOTH versions of my favourite score to choose from I am more keen to listen to the FOX release more n more! It Just Sounds Right!

The best addition to the LLL version over the Fox is the music for Jack jumping onto the bus, which was the clip that they always showed before the movie came out. Always bugged me that this cue wasn't on the album, and like, ALL of the elevator sequence music was.
Also not of note to anyone, but Speed was the first CD I ever bought from the internet, from CD Now in 1994.

I bought the score CD 20 years ago, that's enough for me. I have no interest in the complete and expanded version.

Just listened to all the previously unreleased tracks that are found on the LLL album. They are either competely atmospheric sound design cues or have a lot of that in them. Since the Fox release left those tracks out it generated a better flow and is a more ebtertaining listening experience. At least IMO

Mmmm, must be playing a different record, I thought there were some excellent albeit
short new action cues on LLL's fantastic sounding expansion. Great liner notes too, **** stars,
adios Fox CD for me.

The sound is superior and the complete presentation is far worth it.
I say this to you because this is one of the few scores that I never have to hit skip button on. I will sit and listen to each track from start to finish. Usually I jump around tracks or play a set list. Not with this score! It gets my full attention.
I still play this thing weekly and I probably will for a very long time. This is in my top five favorite releases of all time.

Well, I guess I have "moved on" a bit since the Media Ventures action scores of the mid 90s. It's not really something I play often anymore. That's the most important reason why I will not buy another version of the score.

I prefer the FOX version as well.
The LA-LA Land edition may sound better and have all these extra cues, it kills the flow and energy the original had.
Plus the FOX it SHORTER, which in this day and age is a welcome thing for me, since my attempts as of late to fully appreciate these full complete multi disc editions often are a futile thing. There is no limit on how long an album can be, there is however a limit on the time available I have to listen to any given album.
BUT... any score I deem a "masterpiece", such as Conan The Barbarian, Poltergeist, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc., then I absolutely welcome EVERY note. We can always make room for the best!
