I meant it's available for cheap on the secondary market. I sometimes forget that sealed cd's are a priority for some people. I do suppose it would make a poor gift for someone if it was not sealed....

I don't buy the out-of-print reasoning. It's still widely available. There are 21 copies of it on Amazon right now. Even if used, who cares. It's available. I've never been aware of any demand or justification for this particular release aside from desired expansion/remastering. Remastering may be enough of a reason, but I think some of us are just disappointed that the opportunity hasn't been taken to provide some cues that weren't previously included.

I see this as an unecessary roadblock.
Only if we assume the remaining material could be located or even exists. Roger Feigelson at Intrada just revealed that they've been sitting on a new release of "Link" in hopes of locating additional material, but have come up empty. I happen to know of several other CDs with the identical situation -- producers got the rights, wanted to expand, but no elements could be found (and typically, the response on this board was contempt).
Schiffy, yours is a voice of reason.
However, I'll bet you missing elements were not at play here. This isn't some obscure Cannon production like Link or Red Sonja. We're talking T2 here. But since i'm really operating on assumption, I'll can it.

There's a phrase that gets said a lot in business these days: "Assume positive intent." Regardless of disappointment, people really should try to practice this approach more often. Though I wish T2 was being expanded, I'm certainly not going to assume that Silva doesn't care, didn't try, or is currently plotting the death of my goldfish. Why would I make such wide-ranging, unfounded assumptions? Because it doesn't make any sense to do so.

Surely additional music can't have been too expensive to licence - there's no big orchestra to pay for starters!
Wasn't Shirley Walker involved?
I think the score is perfect within the movie but unlistenable on CD.
This is the Score Crew -
Terminator 2
Music composed, performed and produced by Brad Fiedel
Music mixed by Brad Fiedel and Ross Levinson
Supervising music editor: Allan K. Rosen
Asstistant music editor: Dan Garde
Assistant to Brad Fiedel: Ross Levinson
Special thanks to:
James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment, Mario Kassar and Carolco Pictures, Gale Anne Hurd, Stephanie Austin, B.J. Rack, Allan K. Rosen, Andrew Brent, Ian Eales, Tim Boyle, Michael Gorfaine, Sam Schwartz and Harry Shannon.
not a big deal - would not cost that much to expand the cd - BUT on the other hand - The fund for finding the missing music vs. the income for this CD that isn't good - yeah the music IS BAD.

I can't believe that neither of Fiedel's Terminator scores - two of the greatest sci-fi scores ever written IMHO - have yet been given truly worthy soundtrack releases.
What's wrong with the "definite edition" of T1?

I'll bet you missing elements were not at play here.
And you'd be correct according to my sources.
SILVA has had the rights for awhile and has been looking for the music masters, sadly they could not be located in the CANAL PLUS's archive of elements for the film.
Brad Fiedel was contacted by SILVA and he did not have copies of the complete score either...
Which means that SILVA had a choice, reissue the original album (and remaster it for better sound) or drop the project.
They choose the former since the VARESE release has been out of print for at least five or six years.
Given the film in question, it's a really good idea to have this title in their catalogue.
So that is that.
