I was in HMV London yesterday and saw a few interesting things on the shelves:
The original Varese edition of GORKY PARK
George Delerue THE LONDON SESSIONS volumes 1 and 2.
I figured someone must have found a box of old stuff somewhere in the store room.
I also saw ROCKETEER. I could have sworn that was out of print, but a quick on-line check shows it's available at SAE, play.com, amazon, etc.
Has it been re-issued? Or was it never OOP in the first place?
Cheers

I believe it did go OOP, then reissued. A straight reissue, as if it never left, but it was in moratorium for a time. With Intrada's relationship with Hollywood Records, you can bet an expanded edition is forthcoming.

I remember playing this CD in a loop on a road trip for two or three hours. And talking to my poor car mates about it's genius for pretty much the whole time.

Here's a reply by Roger from an interview about three of four months ago:
One might ask why we haven't done Rocketeer yet and I could only answer, well we just released a two-CD set of the complete Clear & Present Danger. I could have done Rocketeer first and then we'd be asked, what would it take to have a complete Clear & Present Danger? Everything in good time. I hope!

An expanded reissue (with the full score and bonus tracks) would be great for those who haven't got it yet or those who want an expanded version, and if it is indeed getting hard to come by. One of Horner's finest. It's a fan favourite for a reason
Sadly, it's more likely now then before.
I'm told Mr. Horner was the one that vetoed such a release.
With his passing I sadly suspect this might be more likely to happen now.
