Yavar, how many of these are you listing because you believe them to have significant music missing that deserves a release? Many of these scores are small scores (not a knock, I love them), so don't let some short-ish running times fool you into believing there's a ton of missing music. A score like "Da" is very, very slight (and charming).
I don't recall if there was more music in "Far From Heaven" than the 45 minutes Varèse released. I do know that that is one of my favorite scores of this millennium. And yet I find the current presentation completely satisfying, and wouldn't be interested in an expansion.
There are a few cues missing on FAR FROM HEAVEN. The one that stands out is the art exhibit scene.
As long as we're mentioning unrecorded tv music, how about LITTLE WOMEN, THE BIG VALLEY (season 3), and OWEN MARSHALL, COUNSELLOR AT LAW (classic, pre-ondes Bernstein.)

That’s because when going back through Elmer’s career, I stopped at 1979 (hence “Part 1”), just before getting to Animal House.
At some point I actually finished going all the way back, but was stupidly doing all the work just in a regular post window when my browser crashed and I lost all the work. I haven’t gotten around to going back, all these years since. (Sorry.) And now I compose my long posts in an email draft which auto saves.
I would still like to finish the original post some day. But I hadn’t even found the time to update it yet since the Wild Wild West expansion (and I’d been meaning to; hadn’t forgotten about this thread or anything).

Yeah, me too. Has happened to me multiple times and it’s just crushing every time...and I rarely do go back but I hope in this case I will.
For now, I have removed Wild Wild West from the first post thanks to the fantastic new Varese Deluxe Edition (something of a revelation, really). For anyone curious I did speak with Peter Bernstein about working with his father and younger sister on this score, about an hour and a half into this:

Wow, what a surprise!
In my original post I had written, "Stripes (though an early 80s film, Varese released their premiere album well after they had regularly started buying rights in perpetuity so they probably have this)"
Turns out that this was a rare case of Varese not getting perpetuity rights after all! LLL has announced an expanded edition:

I would love to get ANY edition of Where's Jack?

What happened to the tracks for THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE? Bernstein’s only Oscar, and his background score has never been released.

That Tickertape coupled with Budd's Kidnapped is a boot, probably. If it's not, it had better be because it is lacking every which way.

Well you did say “ANY edition”… (even LP?)

Yeah yeah yeah I know I still need to one day finish the initial list. But I thought I'd bump this thread in celebration of Quartet's exciting announcement of The Scalphunters -- the premiere release of the film recording, paired with the album recording, as their 500th release! Exciting release to celebrate Bernstein's centenary!

This has just popped into my mind regarding another thread, but.... is there much, or indeed anything, missing from my personal favourite Bernstein score, GOLD? I believe the Intrada CD is identical to the vinyl release (I don't have either to hand right now).

This thread is long overdue for an update, thanks in large part to Quartet Records this year!
First they released an anniversary edition of The Scalphunters, premiering the complete film recording alongside a remastered version of the previously-available album recording. Impressively, this 1000 copy edition is already sold out everywhere making it the most successful Elmer Bernstein release in some time!
Quartet's December batch announced earlier this month also included The Magnificent Seven collection (4CDs):
https://quartetrecords.com/product/the-magnificent-seven-collection-4-cd/
The important original score has been expanded and given the Chris Malone restoration treatment. The Return of the Seven film recording is apparently lost, so the LP version (essentially Bernstein's first re-recording of the original score) has been included along with the CD premiere of Music for the Marlboro Country. FSM's stereo master for Guns of the Magnificent Seven has been given a straight reissue here too, and perhaps most significantly the final score in the original series, The Magnificent Seven Ride!, has been premiered from a mono music stem. Elmer didn't write a whole lot of new music for the sequels, but he conducted the scores and his regular orchestrators Shuken and Hayes adapted his original themes to fit the new films.

I have also updated my Legal Eagles entry in the first post in this thread. I had written:
"Legal Eagles -- album on MCA, so would be Intrada with an outside chance of LLL."
And I've replaced it with:
"Legal Eagles -- Intrada premiered the MCA album recording on CD a couple years ago, but the film recording remains unreleased (and would require an additional license from the film studio)."
Fingers crossed Quartet (or some other label) will premiere the complete film recording alongside the album recording, next time...

Would love to see an expanded Where's Jack? from 1969.
