I'm glad we have a healthy mix of old and new scores being released, and love when anyone gets to hear more of a score that speaks to them.
HEAR, HEAR!!

The original release is 55 minutes, more than enough.
In your opinion.
This release certainly isn't a surprise -- it was bound to happen. The Passion is one of the highest sellind regular commercial score released of all time. Just in a few months it had sold over 500,000 copies, and over time well over a million. I thought I read one time nine million, but that seems unlikely. It was just a question of the current rightys holder wanting to part with it with such sales, but maybe sales had dwindled and those cookies smelled good. Who knows.
Hopefully this will open up a window to released the rejected scores, one by Lisa Gerrard & Patrick Cassidy, and the other by Jack Lenz (Lenz put up about 36 minutes of his on his now gone old website; thankfully I saved it all).

For the love of God, why?!!
We had a thread once and not one person mentioned this score, which is "apparently" crying out for an 'expanded' release...
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=86473&forumID=1&archive=0
This is why you aren't "merely putting the question out there." Your response is couched in rudeness. And this post in particular (as well as the evidence from your subsequent posts) is why SchiffyM's comment:
"Do you believe that every single release should be for you? For the love of God, the egocentrism is stunning."
is absolutely on point. Your entire presence in this thread has been to profess incredulity that a score that this score, a score that you "don't care for..."
Your core thought, though, isn't the issue (it's okay to genuinely wonder if there is enough demand for a score,) it is your approach and the petulance accompanies your posts. It's unnecessary.
And if you feel those posts that run counter to how you feel are of a "sycophantic, naval contemplating, fan boy nature," then you have missed the essence of civil discourse. There are posts in this thread that aren't pining over this score - those posts, sir, are how you engage in mature dialogue.

If you have any questions please ask away

Is this a part of the black Friday releases?
It is one of them
It's a very special release that appeals to people beyond the film score community. We need to spread the good word, so to speak, thus the reason why we are announcing this particular title early.

Given the 10,000 unit count, I'm delighted at the potential of this title beyond Scoreland. In an ideal world, it will sell out (bringing in $ for other releases) and could open interests to demagraphics who might not otherwise be introduced to, which again, could broaden the market as FSM said their Star Trek soundtracks did.
I wish well for you on this and what might follow. :-)

Now if we can only convince Sony to let us do TITANIC at some point....

Funny, my first thought exactly, before reading this.
MAYBE... if Passion does prove well, you have something to show the higher ups. :-)

But it's only seventeen years old!
We got three years for our magic cookies to work on them

Only three?

I'm with you as far as interest level goes - I bought the OST used for cheap, and I didn't particularly care for it. However, I'm not sure what the "10 year old" thing means - are younger scores instantly less interesting than older scores? Would this score be more interesting to you if it were the same score, but 20 years old - maybe it ages like wine? There are plenty of scores that are 1, 2, 3 years old that I want more music from, and plenty of scores that are 30+ years old that I'm happy with just the OST - but I wouldn't begrudge others if they wanted complete versions of those either
You maybe have a point there, I find it somewhat strange however that there are these expanded releases of relatively recent scores that were well served by the original version. 'Superman Returns' is another example. I suppose people must be crying out for such things and La La Land will continue to issue them.
And yes, in this particular case I don't care for the score.
Do you still have a Holy Grail list? (weird, no pun intended, but on second thought...LOL) If so, imagine there was a film from just a year ago that was missing music from the album. Passion does nothing for me musically as well, but I respect the Passion (pun intended) others feel for a particular score, so I'm happy this release is making others happy.
Also, I see this release as an opportunity for expanded markets. As the guys from various labels have said over the years, "It's about forming relationships" getting the business parties to come together and make available albums we'd never have seen a decade ago.
If this release has the potential to enlighten other demographics, I'm delighted and excited that this could be a gateway to expanding the market, so the love for film music could expand even farthur.
Look how far we've come in a mere decade and I'm hopeful for more if more people see reason for it.
Time and time again, stories account one fan favorite score being made available based on a previous composer/label/studio relationship.
Look beyond a mere subjective experience. :-)

Are royalties going to Integrity Music when this release is purchased?
Integrity has nothing to do with this release.
