Forgot to mention The Keep by Tangerine Dream. I mean it has sort of been released now and its got almost bugger all similarities to whats heard in the film!
After decades of hoping for a legitimate release on CD, Mackenna's Gold arrived from Intrada but ended up giving us a POP version of the Old Turkey Buzzard title song instead of Feliciano's film performance, making this a worthless release. There were European and US LP releases of the original album with one using the pop version and the other using the superior original. Intrada gave us the pop.
My all time favorite score easily meets this criteria, very sadly.
The Road Warrior by Brian May.
35mins. 5mins of reprising music with sound efx. 3min. reprise of the Main Title, as End Title. The full score is around an hour, and I've collected scraps for decades.
The big big miss is the set piece when Max gets the truck and bursts through Humongous' camp, back to the good guys. This 6min action cue is one of the best of the 80s IMO. Amazing stuff.
Agreed. It's a travesty whatever became of the complete score?
And maybe I’m in the minority but CHINATOWN. Yes, I know not much is missing but I want all of it, I want it in order, and I want non-score not to interrupt the flow of the score!
Agree on the second point... it's 50 years later and Varese still hasn't learn NOT to interrupt the score with FUCKING SOURCE MUSIC!
So we can add RUDY: Deluxe and KNOWING: Deluxe to the list for the exactly same reason (and I am sure MANY more).

Assuming, Ampex tapes erased over to save cost for_______ Bloody shame! There's a mono, incomplete tape source that sounds shite, making the rounds. Sans, The Big Rig Chase.
