We actually passed on doing this project. There really is no need for it whatsoever. You can buy the Varese one for like $5 on Amazon.

I'm also disappointed with this news, I thought it would be released by Lalaland. Besides the few short unreleased tracks I'd love if a new release included the film version of "Wild Braces" and "The Vorm (Vomit Creature)" (instrumental only - without the chorus), but I have to agree that this score is not a priority, the Varese release included all the important tracks and as far as Goldsmith is concerned my priorities would be expansions of Psycho II, Gremlins, Explorers, Congo, The Shadow, Gremlins 2, Star Trek The Motion Picture...

Here here on an expanded/complete "Psycho II" and "ST:TMP."
In addition to those,
"Supergirl"
"Explorers"
However I would welcome an FSM release of Poltergeist II given it had all the cues, and alternates (i.e. film version of "The Worm"

This is one my favorite scores as well but I have to admit that for me the intrada expanded edition combined with the Varese Deluxe is all I'll ever want to own of this score (I hate the telephone effect). Those short cues or alternate versions... I don't know, but I thought the extra material on the Varese deluxe edition is a perfect presentation for me.
I've bought this score three times, the first time 15 euro for the Varese 5 track version from Colosseum, the second time 50 euro for the then oop Intrada expanded, the last time 15 euro for the deluxe Varese. So I've easily spend almost 100 euro including shipping for this one score. I'll keep it at that thank you.
Is there any marked difference between the deluxe Varese edition and the expanded Intrada one?

The main differences are the extra cue on the Varese 'The Visitor' (6:40) and an extra minute on 'Leave us Alone' (listed as 'The Plan' on the intrada expanded). So you have about 7m40s extra score time on the Varese. What I said about the telephone effect, that is included in the track 'Late Call' on the Varese, but it isn't on the Intrada expanded. So for me the Intrada expanded is worth keeping for that alone.
Right. Thanks for the info Francis.
Cheers!

So, we got Congo, The Shadow, Gremlins, Explorers, and Star Trek: TMP as we (danbeck) asked for...and the older issue(s) of Poltergeist II are going up in price at Amazon.com (with shipping, $21 for a used copy and $28 for a new one).
From MV's comment it sounds like Varese doesn't control this score in perpetuity (unlike the Omen scores?) and so I wonder if we might eventually get a revisit from them with great packaging/liner notes and all the remaining unreleased recorded music. If Home Alone 2 got another release, why not Poltergeist II?

Well, aside from the few short missing cues mentioned previously in this thread and others, there are apparently some unreleased alternates/film versions.
My point was the same could have been said about Home Alone 2, yet clearly (to me at least) the LLL edition was worthwhile for the superior packaging and notes much more than the tiny bit of extra music they provided.

I see no point in spending money on this title. The previous editions are more than adequate.
