A CD Club title announced before the rest of the batch or even a announcement of a batch coming? What?

It's not a Club title. It's a "We Hear You" title. Those only come out sporadically, one at a time. Not in batches.

The thread title should be amended to remove "Club".

Compared to the Film Score Monthly release of 2005, this release seems to drop one bonus track:

21. 20 Year Montage / Scrapbook Montage (film mix) (4:58)

and add two other bonus tracks:

23. The Yakuza Theme Piano Demo Takes 1-3 (6:17)
24. The Yakuza Theme Piano Demo Take 4 (2:39)

I believe that this release marks the first Warner Bros. score previously released by Film Score Monthly that has had a re-release by another label.

I think Take a Hard Ride was an FSM rereleased after by LLL as was Stage coach.

I can explain this. Varese kindly reached out to me given my history with the earlier CD. At the time, Warner Bros. could not find a piano overlay for two cues, the "20 Year Montage" and "Scrapbook Montage." So I put the cues on the FSM CD twice, once (in stereo) without the piano sweeteners, and then again (as track 21) with them but from the mono music stem.

For the Varese edition, I went back to WB and they did, this time, locate the sweeteners—so now the main stereo program is mixed with the extra piano and is complete, and there was no need to repeat the cues in mono. Also, they found Grusin's piano demos of the theme, which are now tracks 23 and 24.

Very happy about this release! I missed the FSM version. I watched the film a few months back and really liked the music (and film). I also love the Condor/Eddie Coyle twofer from FSM.

Am I the only one having trouble with the liner notes in the booklet?

The sentences have absolutely zero continuity between the end of the page and the beginning of the following one.
Even if I unstaple the pages and try to rearrange them, the natural reading order can't be fixed at all...
