Looks like no official promotional art from the film was used for this release. Not a criticism just an observation.
That's the case as often as not when rejected scores are released on their own. Some don't even include the film's title! (Remember "Los Angeles, 1937," "Reeltime," and "Music from the Edge"?)

There never is for unused score releases.
Sometimes! "The China Syndrome," "Gladiator" (the boxing movie), "Timeline" (the Goldsmith), "Two Days in the Valley," and "Alien Nation" just off the top of my head.

Yes, I think it comes down if the licensor wants to play ball, and if it's cost effective.
And Schiffy manages to contradict two opposite statements. Or is Schiffy really Schizzy aka Schizo?
Along with the unused Chinatown, I was also thinking Johnny Mandel's THE VERDICT, Alex North's 2001, Delerue's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, Shire's WHITE BUFFALO.
If you mean "unused" in a vast sense, interchangeable with "rejected", there have been a lot of releases. Compared to how many rejected/un-used/and demo scores, however (which is over 1,000), it's a small number.

I dunno if you missed his point, but Solium was simply talking about the CD artwork, not if reject/unused scores have been released.
Sorry, yes, an incomplete post. I meant to add that there are others. the link has art for most of them so people can see them.
There's probably a dozen that don't use any film art. There's also probably half a dozen or so that don't even name the film, for contractual reasons (like the rejected "Chinatown" score). And there's at least one that uses the original name of the film.

Only if you consider "often" and "always" to be synonymous.
I believe, but could be totally wrong, that in some cases, rights to the rejected score revert to the composer, who doesn't have any rights to film artwork (or, sometimes, even the title). At other times, the label negotiates with the studio, and thus can use film art.

Apparently only the ones I buy.
Of course there are the CDs with both used and unused scores which have film promo art, but the art is for chosen composer. I thought solium meant film promo art with the unused composer. It would have to be a mock-up or a complete mistake like "Dewey defeats Truman."
Wow.. 2017 has been Absolutely great. Fantastic news La La. Un-used Shire I cannot wait for this, Thank you, wonderful work all you guys do its appreciated here, happy, scoop 2018 Thanks again.

Why would I? To solium you wrote as if his observation was just for this one score, so you gave a list of rejects without film artwork. To my comment that none had film artwork, you wrote: "Sometimes!" and gave a list of rejects with film artwork.
