Well I haven't bought RAMBO III since purchasing the original 74 minute Intrada CD 30 years ago. Or 29 years ago. Well, 30 or nearly 30 anyway.
So I don't think I need to be guilty about revisiting.
The only thing is, after 30 years, that original CD feels like an old friend. And I do prefer its cover.
Cheers

Rambo Version 49

expanded to include to extra tracks
1. Carolco logo and 20. Find Cover
There is a bit of new material somewhere around the "Find Cover" track, but I'm not sure if "Find Cover" is the new bit. There's also a new track title before "Find Cover" (0:51) called "Running Wild" (0:30) and before those two tracks "Going Down" now runs 1:04 instead of its previous length of 1:54. Basic math would indicate that the previous version of "Going Down" (1:54) has been split into "Going Down" (1:04) and "Find Cover" (0:51), since that yields a combined track time of 1:55. But who knows? Regardless, there is about 0:30 of new score in that area of the CD, and maybe it's the track "Running Wild."
I'm confused about the tracks being "presented for the first time in film sequence." The main reason why is that "Night Fight" (6:51) runs the exact same time it has previously, but the end of the film version of "Night Fight" actually included what has previously been released as the second half of "Going Down", making me think the film sequence would yield a longer version of "Night Fight." So in this case, would "film sequence" of a track not necessarily mean the same thing as "film version" of a track? The new version of "Going Down" (shorter length) may be different than previously (we don't know yet), but since "Night Fight" is the exact same running time, it appears to be the same.
Intrada says "Also of note: Architectural device of new four-note building block that launches new theme." While the "new theme" that is launched is indeed new to the series, the "new four-note building block" is not new, is it? It goes back as far as the first film ("Mountain Hunt") and is almost reprised again in the second film ("Revenge") -- it's the same suspense idea/execution, only in the second film it's pared down to three notes.
None of these are complaints whatsoever. Just curiosities. I'm a massive fan of this score and was just throwing out a few questions that I was wondering about. No matter what, I am thrilled about this release and very much looking forward to it. The stuff I mentioned above is not as important to me as the actual music itself and how it sounds; again, I was just curious as someone who has loved this score for decades and has seen the movie more times than I care to admit.

RAMBO III - So new version has 25 tracks; original has 23 tracks. Carolco logo/Find Cover included but noticed that track 21:The Showdown 22: Final battle has NOW been edited into one track on the NEW version - A creative edited decision? ** Running Wild track seems to be an all new find! The complete difference still between both is an astonishing 1 minute & 19 seconds!
This means temptation to buy again...& again cos is Jerry Goldsmith's finest action classic!

... and "Running Wild" ... you're the second person who mentioned the two "new tracks" but strangely didn't seem to notice the third. Odd.

If there is some extra material that would not fit on the CD, (like the album edit of "Preparations" on the old Scotti Bros version), perhaps those could be added as bonus on another CD. FSM used to do this from time to time. THE EGYPTIAN comes to mind.
It's a good way to make it available if there's not enough material to justify pressing a 2nd CD.
I wouldn't be interested in the songs.
