The main titles for Leviathan has to be one of the best things Goldsmith ever wrote. I just can't get enough of that cue.
An expanded/complete version can't come soon enough.
I can't believe you've got me sitting here, listening to the Leviathan soundtrack. I mean, yes, years later, this actually does sound pretty good. Damn. I wouldn't say one of the best ever, unless this first cue isn't the MT.

This most certainly does deserve a complete release! It's missing almost 20 minutes; the album is 25 years old so would greatly benefit from a re-master; and it is a score from quite possibly Jerry's finest stretch, if not certainly the most fun of his career!
1989-1992 if my personal favorite time of Jerry's career (he was always on his 'A' game and every decade was excellent). Leviathan, The 'burbs, The Final Frontier, Total Recall, Gremlins 2, The Russia House, Sleeping with the Enemy, Basic Instinct & Forever Young. I mean that is a really fun collection of scores!! He had some other really great years, too. His entire work from the 70's and 80's was just phenomenal.

I would love to revisit this one in expanded and remastered form. Varese or someone get your butts moving!
Okay here's some questions?
Is there really that much more worthwhile material but didn't make it on the album in the first place?
Would it even sell enough units to justify the expense?
Would it be all that much better listening experience with a bunch of 32 seconds cues added to the running order?
Would a complete edition of this just be another example of an OCD release or is Goldsmith used to call them another bottlecap for collectors?
Does everything need to have every last single bit of music on it just for the sake of just having it to say you have it?
All of these are very fair questions to ask.

Ford, these Bottle cap collectors are the OCD types I'm depending on the keep the high-end soundtrack biz alive while I struggle to make it in the big city...
...so I can be as OCD as they are about their bottle caps. And furnish you with income, I hope.
Put another way: someone has to buy the 3 Tenors albums so Decca can afford to re-release their back catalogue gems, right?
