I signed it for what it's worth.

Whatever the album is or isn't, I think a complete presentation of the most successful soundtrack ever in history (or has anything else taken that place?), is mandatory.

Successful in terms of money?

I'm interested and would buy it, but I have a feeling the album presentation is lot better listening experience than the score as heard in the film.
I'd have to disagree there.
The 'film versions' of several cues are much better (even in Cameron-ed truncated form).
Take 'Southampton'. On album it's pretty straight, almost like a song in a kind of A-B-A structure. The orchestra is subtle, doesn't really have anything special about it.
The film version is quite different. You hear the big chorus only once, and that's after a large, elegant orchestral build up. Bells are louder, chimes and cymbals struck with more enthusiasm, a great little harp line replaces that short trumpet fanfare heard early in the album version. All in all it's a more well-rounded, elegantly performed piece of music than the album version.
The film version of "Rose" is also better, because the synthesized choir is eliminated completely leaving a beautiful piano and harp line nice and clear, as they are drowned out by the choir in the album version.
Also there's another action cue in there, heard a few times in the film (thanks, Jim) not on either album. It's got a lot of pounding drums and racing strings with some somber woodwinds. You hear it during the whole "For God's Sake there's women and children down here!" scene of steerage passengers fighting to get past the locked gates, and then it's repeated during the scene where Officer Lowe fires his gun into the sky to scare the crowd.
The eerie underwater search music of the opening is also nice and atmospheric and also some romantic piano solos...there's some good stuff in the film not on the album.

I think the original Horner CD covers a lot of territory, and it's the best CD in my Titanic collection, but I might enjoy a complete film version as well.

Sony won't let the rights go to another label to do it. Singing the petition is pointless until Sony changes their mind.

Who says another label should release it? Maybe if they see there is a demand for it. Sony will release it themselves. The Complete Recordings of LotR were also released by the same company as the original soundtracks.
Not every expanded score has to be released by LLL, Intrada, etc...
