I know this is one of Jerry's less loved 90s scores, but of course as a completist (Jerry's scores almost always play better in complete form) I would buy a Deluxe Edition in an instant. (I know there are more crazy Goldsmith nuts out there like me!)
I don't have time at the moment to do a Complete Score Breakdown for what is in the film, but I ran across a complete cue listing on the Academy's website because sketches for the full written score are in their library holdings. Here is the full list, with the obviously unreleased cues in bold:
http://collections.new.oscars.org/Details/Archive/71302933
1-4 "A Free Spirit," 1 page
2-1 "Family Life," 3 pages
2-3 "We're Having a Baby," 3 pages
3-1 "The Museum," 4 pages
4-2 "The Dating Game," 2 pages
5-2/6-0 "Two Bells," 3 pages
6-2 "Shopping," 2 pages
7-7/8-1 "A Broken Wing," 2 pages
8-2 "The Prognosis," 5 pages
9-1 "The Journey Begins," 7 pages
9-3 "Memories," 1 page
9-5 "Old Friends," 2 pages
9-6 "I Understand," 3 pages
10-2 "Mangia," 2 pages
10-3 "Something Better," 4 pages
10-4/11-1 "Who Is Sean?," 2 pages
11-2 "He'll Wake Up," 1 page
12-1 "It Ain't Easy," 3 pages
12-2 "He's Alive," 7 pages
12-3 "Angie's Theme," 8 pages [lacks first page]
"Also, contains a complete set of photocopies for all of the cues listed above; an additional photocopy of cue 9-5 contains revisions in red ink."
Obviously if these cues are in film order (which seems likely given their numbers), the album was substantially re-arranged, unlike say Love Field. It seems like the original album replaced the opening cue "A Free Spirit" with a "concert arrangement" of Angie's Theme. There was overall more missing from this score's album than I expected. I will eventually go through the film itself, as I said, to assess the quality (and figure out the length) of the unreleased music, but for now I thought folks might just be interested to know roughly how many more cues could be added if a Deluxe Edition were produced.

I'm glad at least one of this score's fans chimed in -- thanks!

You’re welcome! Thanks for chiming in to say you care! This score and Mr. Baseball are probably the least-loved of Jerry’s 90s output.

This score has been taking some beatings lately, during the LOVE FIELD expansion and seems to be about as popular as MR BASEBALL and SPYS right now.
I haven't played it in years, but remember it being somewhat monothematic (there might be an additional melody...can't remember) but the theme is quite catchy and charming, in that inimitable Georges Delerue way.
Yes, it wears out its charm a bit over the 35 minutes (or however long it runs), but it's pleasant easy listening music overall.
I'd rather listen to this than some of those dull, thriller suspense ones that usually put me to sleep (like ALONG CAME A SPIDER, THE VANISHING, US MARSHALS).
I'm sure it will get a Deluxe Edition at some point, as Varese continue to mine the Goldsmith well for his zealous minions.
I think Nic Zwar suffers from PTSD over this score.

When I put this on I can't help but think of Ice cream vans, for some reason.
