I’m looking forward to having a clean version of the main titles that doesn’t segue into the action stuff. Makes it easier for my compilation playlists.

Such a great theme.
^^^^ THIS.
Are you sure about that. The cues could be combined with at split track
Well, this is great news. A hugely entertaining score with some real balls to the wall music. Very happy here. Thanks to everyone involved, and now since I'm gainfully employed again, my bank account didn't scream in pain when I clicked the order button.
That. Also I presume it would be a rights mess and probably very difficult to release. Plus we don't know if Randy Newman and/or the production company want that score to be released.
A certain version of Randy Newman's score has been out there for a long time.
In my opinion Randy Newman's score is not that great and is weak. I can see why the producers hired Goldsmith to redo the score.
I'm super glad this finally got a Deluxe Edition treatment. It's about damn time!
I really wished there had been samples of film version tracks instead of ones that were mostly on the original album.
Those composer credits are direct from the cue sheet.
Just wondering if anyone knows the working process for those Goldsmith+McNeely songs - if they split them in half, if Goldsmith did sketches and handed off to McNeely, if McNeely did them all and incorporated Goldsmith's themes...
Hopefully the liner notes will explain more.
Also, the Varese excerpt of "Target Air Force One" totally has these ascending "echoing" horns straight out of "Patton"! Pretty cool since I haven't heard this song yet.

You might want to listen to the episodes of the podcast The Goldsmith Odyssey where Yavar interviews Robert Townson. They spend some time talking about AFO and Townson shares specifics about the Goldsmith-McNeely collaboration for certain cues.
And The Edge. And Executive Decision. And U.S. Marshals.
Again, all really good. But not masterpieces.
True, not great Goldsmith. By the 90's he got pretty simplistic with his writing and rather repetitive. But he could still write a killer main theme that is the thrust of the score. I think this is one of his better scores of this period.
