The issue is those that "don't understand", don't want to understand. As far as I'm concerned, that is the primary reason to discuss these things... to understand. Obviously, it makes no measurable difference in my life how Thor or you anyone else listens to soundtracks (and vice versa). Album presentations, C&C, slice+dice, shuffle at random (through single discs, composers, entire collections, whatever), hey, it's all up to you.

It's worth repeating the original poster's major point: "There are lots of things I would like to see expanded. But I would rather have something that hasn't been released at all!" I think that was what was meant by the phrase "I don't understand...." in the sense that, "wouldn't we all rather have something new?" But I think that's a false choice (I already said this, but then, in a thread this long, I don't expect anyone to look for my earlier posts, however brilliantly expressed). Clearly these expansions preserve iconic film scores, bring a fuller experience of the music to true-believer fans, and are typically the most successful releases for these intrepid companies. Which is essential to their continuing to release scores of all kinds, which they continue to do. It's never gonna be a choice between re-releasing an expansion vs. something yet unreleased, those are on two separate tracks.

To Tall Guy: You can evoke the name of Shostakovich from now till doomsday; you still can't fool me into thinking you're some sort of high-brow, intellectual

Well I hope the poor bastard understands the desire for expansions now. I think Jim Phelps wins the No Prize for best post in this thread. Just want to point it out. But good joke about those long Nordic nights, Mr. Marshall.

I thought it was Shostakovich who said that about Lennon?!
