So, who´s up to release an expanded PSYCHO II?
I´m sure that one would sell through the roof!

Varese is a business and should definitely listen to their customers (all 20 of them here, apparently). But, just to repeat — they are a BUSINESS. Why it makes sense to anyone here for them to release an expanded EXECUTIVE DECISION when the first album probably sold 500 copies, I can't explain.
I completely agree and I for one am thankful for every release I have, from the most lavish FSM boxset to the 30-minute releases from Varese.
However, I find it ironic that, for example, had Executive Decision not been released in 1996, it's possible La-La Land would be working on a 2-disc edition of it in 2012.
(That's not a hint or anything - just a hypothetical situation.)
Really surprised how often Executive Decision is mentioned here. While fun, I think the 30min Varese release is just fine.
Small Soldiers and The Haunting on the other hand... Would love to see those expanded...

It's just 'cause some of us love Executive Decision particularly and think it's one of Goldsmith's best of the '90s. The album is good, but there's a great deal more music in the film that would be great to have and hear in glorious sound. Some expansions, even if it's only a handful of cues, can really enhance the experience. For example, Intrada's Extreme Prejudice was a fine album, but the extra cues that were on the LLL expanded release were incredibly awesome and fun. Yeah I could have lived with the original album, but now I love that score 10 times more because of those extra tracks I had forgotten about.

I always was under the impression that ED was considered to be one of Goldsmith lesser 90's scores, just like Chain Reaction and U.S. Marshalls.
No doubt, expansions can create a better listening experience. I love the LLL releases of First Knight, Sleeping with the Enemy and Forever Young. But it can also be the other way around, I enjoy the regular release of The Edge more than the expanded.
But truth be told, if there ever would be an expanded ED, I'd probably buy it! I was just surprised there's so much love for it.

Don't you think it's possible that the reason some people might think those scores to be among Goldsmith's lesser 90s work is because the official OSTs were too short to contain all the highlights?

It's possible, but seems unlikely to me. Chain Reaction and US Marshals are decent albums - I enjoy them a lot, in fact - and they most certainly DO include all the highlights. Diluting those highlights by filling out a longer album with lesser music seems a strange aspiration.
Executive Decision on the other hand doesn't seem to have any highlights whatsoever, and that's coming from me, a frequent Goldsmith apologist. It's a perfect score for the film but one of his very few that doesn't work well away from it (for me - clearly others feel very differently).

Oddly enough, I'm the exact opposite with EXTREME PREJUDICE. I have the expanded release but it's the Intrada CD I always play. I never felt those extra tracks added anything at all.

Yeah, it's always interesting how one person reacts to music (expanded or otherwise) vastly different than another person. There's no doubt that music and how it connects to each person is a very individual (even personal) process.

Have you seen the film? With the exception of four cuts on the Varese Album, the best stuff is still unreleased. But as to what is good/bad is relative.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
Varese's first commercial album of the film was a re-recording made in England. MV tried to release the original film tracks. This was his response back in February 2010 on this forum:
....according to WB, Varese has the rights to release the "Original Soundtrack" should they choose to do so due to the other re-recording album they released (Much like The Right Stuff and North and South) So, hopefully, one day they shall!
MV
See the said post here:

I'd be interested in hearing how much WB had to shell out to Varese to sub-licence those tracks for the box set.
