Nope the film tracks have never been released; your confusion is arising from the fact that Intrada found what they initially thought were the mono album masters but which turned out to be the previously unreleased (and assumed lost) film recording.

Oh, OK, now I see, thanks for clarifying. Sorry to confuse things further.
I have the Mainstream LP and the Sony CD. I'll have to see how much film score there is that is not on the album. And yes, I realize the album is a re-recording.
Although this brings back nice memories of the early 1990s, so I may have to the get the expanded after all.
Listening now, for the first time in ages. This is a very nice album, once you get rid of the march.

If I recall correctly from Geoff Leonard's (et al) Midas Touch book on Barry, the film tracks were recorded in LA and the re-record (album) was done in London.
BTW Onya, what the hell is wrong with the King Rat march?
The subject heading implies that the 3-disc Howard the Duck is also coming out next week. Do we know that for sure? (I'd read the relevant threads but don't remember such specific info).

It is very fortuitous that the actual mono film score recording got shelved with the stereo LP re-recording all this time. The Intrada hamsters certainly have all their DUCKS & RATS is a row!
Imagine how easily the actual film recording could have been overlooked, just because everyone thought it was a mono mix of the album master.
Makes you wonder what else might have been overlooked over the years.
As an aside, there is one instance I can think of where the mono release of a John Barry album included a genuinely different set of takes to the stereo album—FOUR IN THE MORNING.
Are there any other instances of that?
(Besides the US mono LP of Thunderball having a different version of Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.)

A recent discovery of the lost stereo material from John Williams' Dracula was greatly overlooked despite the fact they were right under the labels's nose in box marked mono!
Incidentally, A similar discovery of a film score recording accidentally stored together with the re-recorded album master was HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE by Neal Hefti
Bruce Kimmel looked to reissuing that score shortly after the FSM TREASURY COLLECTION sold out. When the master tapes were delivered from the “vault”, Bruce received the stereo album master and additional boxes of mono tapes which happily contained the complete mono score recording.
