Conflicted about Dreamcatcher. Definitely interested in it but buying it separately would mean it would be kinda pointless to get the Stephen King box one day. Still interested in that box if it weren't for that high price and customs fee...

Sure there is. The album covers something like 60 % of the score only.
Based on what? The leaked sessions unmentionable? I don't have a copy of that, but have you actually matched it to the original album to see about unreleased music? Because it's entirely possible that the extra runtime of that is just a result of multiple takes and such being included from the sessions.
Again, Roger Feigelson of Intrada watched the film a few years back to find out if there were any unreleased cues. He found not a single one. If you have evidence of actual unused cues or alternates that wouldn't have been in the film for him to find, please present it. Otherwise I'm not going to fault Varese for Encoring this. 
BTW, did everyone notice that Dreamcatcher DE is only $19.98 list price? That seems like an unusually great price for a two disc set from Varese (which they were able to do perhaps because it was already released in the box set?)

I'm so hoping that the "Rooobbbooocop!" chorus was recorded separately, so a re-issue of the deluxe edition can have the orchestral-only pieces.

I seem to recall one very brief segment (like 10 seconds) awkwardly edited into another piece in the score. That segment wasn't released. But that was it. I wish I could find my original comments as it's getting hazy now. Like how you feel when someone shoves gauze in your mouth, then secures it with duct tape. Then your hands get tied to the back of a chair and someone repeatedly strikes you in the head to get you to talk, but try as you might you can't tell them you can't talk with all that gauze in your mouth. Yeah. Just like that.
LOL.
While I did end up buying the LLL Magic release (when it went on sale for $5 off) to get the sole unreleased 23 second cue, I don't know if I can get up in arms that Varese left off an awkward 10 second insert alternate from this Encore Edition. Again Lokutus, if you can say for a fact that the longer sessions contained unique cues not released by Varese, then let us know. Otherwise I think an Encore made sense.
Roger, I'm curious...when you investigated this score years ago, did you see whether Varese held perpetuity rights to the title?

RAGGEDY MAN is the only one for me - and at this price, on its own, it should get through HMRC untouched....

Looking forward to RoboCop 2, which was way overdue for an expansion, imo. Hopefully it doesn't sell out before I'm able to order it, which will probably be next month. 1500 units seems too low for this. Kind of odd that RoboCop 3 gets 2000 units but RoboCop 2 gets 1500.
Not when you consider how much better Basil Poledouris tends to sell compared with Leonard Rosenman. Plenty of label insiders have commented over the years that Rosenman is one of the worst-selling well known film composers. Frankly I'm surprised that the quantities for Robocop 2 DE and Raggedy Man Encore weren't reversed. I predict that Raggedy Man will sell out of its 1000 copies extremely quickly while Robocop 2 DE might hang around longer than Robocop 3 DE even though the latter was released much earlier. But we shall see...

Thanks. I don't have the original, so I wouldn't know that.
I wonder, now, if he did takes without them, just incase it was not liked by the producers.

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but how many singers are required to form a choir? And as a follow-up question: do the singers on the Robocop 2 track constitute a choir?
