Will this ever get released, considering Baby got released and that Varese just re/released another Disney title in their VCL offerings? This is one of those ultra hard to find scores. I'd buy a dozen copies if it came out. Can Lukas, Doug (does he even post here?), or Ford comment?

There is an interview with Zimmer in the FSM newsletter where he states that the music on the cd is ALL the music he felt should be there.
He is very picky about things like that and although you and I would love to have more music I think Zimmer has put out all we are liekly to get

btw there isn't a boot or a FYC floating out there either. i checked

Wasn't there a foreign release with, like, two extra tracks or something?
|

Thanks for the info Bruce.
There is apparently an FYC and a copy of the recording sessions, but that is in the hands of only a few people. It's pretty much locked up.
And yeah I was referring to a more complete version, not the soundtrack.

If they don't intend to sell the rights nor will they release it themselves, what do they intend to do with it? Let it lay gathering dust in their shelves till it's completely worn out and useless? Or play basketball with it? 
Well, it's their music, they can do what they want with it. As it stands, the re-use and production costs would most likely not be worthwhile for the company to reissue with additional score tracks; it is the songs that sell this album to most people.
And I can't believe that Mr. Zimmer says that the music on the CD is all that needs to be there... Not only are they overshort, but they're edited and pieced together from various portions of the film and not a good listening experience as such.
Well, Zimmer is the one who put together those overshort tracks, and cues being mixed and matched within the tracks themselves is something that he always does when assembling and album.
If you don't like how they flow, it's a matter of taste more than anything else; as I've said in other threads, while John Williams is one of my favorite composers, he's one of my least favorite album producers, but while Elliot Goldenthal basically does the same thing as Williams and Zimmer in his album presentations, I tend to be more satisfied with his choices.
Regarding the combined length of the score cues, well, that's a decision that was made when the album went into production. As I indicated before, it is the songs that are of most importance with respect to selling this album to the most amount of people. The score is of much less interest to the general public.
It's not fair, either, that only some people get to listen to the FYC and proper recording sessions while we have to live with either those four/five short cues on the OST or resort to getting that rubbish quality half mono bootleg.
Well, the FYC promo was produced for a specific purpose, and nobody is supposed to have bootlegs at all.
Good luck with the petition, but expanding the album would probably be a pretty expensive prospect that Disney may not be interested in doing for an album that, as far as they're concerned, already sells just fine.

I'm aware of that, Swashbuckler, and also know most people want it only for the songs. But since Disney apparently don't have anything to do with the score, I am only thinking logically that there's no reason not to sell the rights of the score to Varese or something.

I know that profit is the first thing record labels look into, but that doesn't mean score releases don't sell well - look at LoTR. And TLK certainly has the popularity, even if not as much as LoTR. A limited edition certainly will suffice for fans and they wouldn't have to put in too much money either. After all if Disney sells the rights then the buyer will pay for re-use fees etc. Intrada and Varese do it a lot. And for a release like TLK, I don't think they'll have any financial loss. They'll gain as a matter of fact.
Well, the FYC promo was produced for a specific purpose, and nobody is supposed to have bootlegs at all.
I never said anyone's supposed to have bootlegs, but I just wanted to point out the disparity among fans. That's with almost all scores, I agree, but nevertheless it's not comforting! And if the score is officially released, as it deserves to be, these bootleg stuffs will have no value.

Thanks! And if Disney just sells the rights, they won't have to worry about the "expensive" part after all. They can just sell the rights of the score (I'm not sure how that's done but I bet it can surely be) because it's the songs they want and as for the score they can just hand it over to Intrada or someone and let them do the work.
Thanks all those who signed, and please keep it up! And I'll be much grateful if you can spread word about it a little and help it get more signatures (if you can)!

I've just always wondered why the Stampede cue was left out. If that was in there I think I would've been happy, that's really a fantastic action track.
It's half present in the "...To Die For" track, but it's very severely edited and many good moments are missing (about a full 1 and a half minutes are cut :/ ). There are quite a lot more good stuffs missing too, like the FULL final battle scene! If Hans cut that out, I just don't see why he chose to cut the FULL thing out!!

While i would LOVE to have an expanded score cd i feel the existing one is a very satisfying listen (do you really want ten minutes of the stampede music?).
Add the songs and it cant be beat .

Maybe when the next "anniversary" comes around Disney will do an expanded edition.
The perfect solution: a 2-cd set with all the songs (including the added song for the Imax release) plus 40 plus minutes of score.
Done!
