One has never been avaiable before and the other has only been represented on CD as a re-recording (a rather good one IMHO).
Just off the top of my head WALKABOUT and RAISE THE TITANIC.
FYI, people tend to forget that most soundtrack album up until the late 1970's were for the most part RE-RECORDINGS...
just something to keep consider....

Thanks Ford that saves a lot of wasted time but at the same time leaves us open to tons of scores that were re-recordings but released as the official soundtrack release.
I wonder if one of them will be the big unreleased Horner score that's been mentioned over at the intrada forum. If it's Natty Gann or Something Wicked, = yay
ISLANDS IN THE STREAM is a re-recording SPARTACUS can be considered one of the greatest score written but it could be something from Herrmann, Newman or Rosza too.
One of these is considered on of the greatest film scores written by most film music historians.
There are a lot of film scores I consider classics. But they are classics to me because they were important in my life. Many of those are tossed out the window here. So this is not just any score by Herrmann or Newman or Goldsmith but it has to be a landmark score by them (or anyone) to be considered "greatest" by film music historians. I also eliminate everyone outside American filmmaking because Prometheus has never dealt with anything but those in the American arena. Then you eliminate what is already available so it gets down to just a few. So few that I am tempted to pick scores from studios we haven't been able to get into like Universal (SPARTACUS) or Paramount (PSYCHO) or access to lost tapes like EL CID. That seems to enter the land of fantasy but from generalized clues like this what else can we do?
