OK, so if I'm not mistake the official word on this is the tapes are damaged, lost, or unusable for an expanded complete score.
The original soundtrack album is out of print.
So why while the composer is alive and well and can have definitive input is there not any plans to do a re-recording ala Conan The Barbarian?

We do not need to re-record every score. Crazy good score, though.

How does an out-of-print score count as "perfectly fine"?

Yes,some score are unlistanable in complete form.
Not to everyone. Those who don't want it are free to not buy it. I love how that works..

Yes but it doesn't change that many score can stand in complete form,but many collectors don't want admit that,they just want buy buy buy,like a forumeur say:ORDERED!
Isn't that the case with any type of release really? I personally enjoy listening to C&C scores, otherwise I'd held on to all the album versions I've gladly gotten rid of. And it's not like the album version isn't out there already, if that is all you want, you already have it, why should you even care about obvious demand for a C&C?

didn't Goldenthal spend a long time creating unique instruments and sounds specifically for this score? It was referred to as a 'bio-mechanical orchestra' or something like that. Wouldn't that make a re-recording particularly hard to pull off?
If it can be done once why couldn't it be done again?
Because he got it right the first time and they recorded it.

"....why should you even care about obvious demand for a C & C?"
Because the anti-C & C crowd literally cannot stand the idea of the rest of us getting more of what we want.
More often than not, the most ground they are willing to concede is "release two versions", which is usually economically unfeasible for record labels.
Or, if you suggest they make their own "album" playlist from the complete score, they counter with, "I'm not qualified to" or even "Why should I have to?"
So, basically it all boils down to the rest of us having to do without getting new/unreleased music from our favorite films and composers, so that they can hear an "expertly" segued 30 to 40 minute program (often mixed with "Pop" songs of the day), and nothing more.
I don't get it either, but there you are....

And I would think these oddball avant-garde scores with Harry Partch-like created instrumentation
that isn't always tunable or predictable would be near impossible to re-do? And I would think that unless the composer, Robert Elhai, Joel Iwataki or Johnathan Sheffer weren't available to advise,etc, that would throw more....um, kinks....in the mix.
There is the Goldsmith quote in Intrada's ALIEN booklet, where Doug Fake was discussing future re-recordings with Goldsmith, and ALIEN was the one Jerry singled out that he wouldn't do again, because it was too difficult. So they just did Islands in the Stream instead.....

Ever since I first saw the movie, there were several key moments that I missed on the soundtrack cd. An expansion would be most welcome. At least we have the isolated score!
I personally would not be interested in a rerecording .
