I noticed when I looked to see if there was a Star Trek V LP that the LP has "The Moon's a Window To Heaven" at the end of Side 1 rather than the end of the album. Are there other scores where the LP and the CD are different even when produced at the same time?
I recall that song being at the start of side 2 of the LP and cassette.
In fact, yes, here it is:
Ah, sorry I misread discogs. So it had the same spot as Ballad Of The Whale on Trek IV.

I nominate the BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN promo:
I think someone's track numbers got deleted.

Morricone's Untouchables OST album - starts with the end credits, main titles in the middle, ends with a major action cue with much movie left to go.
But plays beautifully as an album.

Indeed. Nobody's suggesting that out-of-order on album is wrong. At least I don't think they are. They're just asking which album programs juggle the music most.
As I think we all recognize, presenting a film score completely and chronologically is a different artistic exercise to presenting a well designed program of music from a score. Especially in the LP era where the key was to put milestone pieces or album-only versions of themes at the start and end of each side. Which basically meant if there was a main theme, an action theme and a love theme, that was very likely to be Side-A track 1, Side-A last track and Side-B track 1 irrespective of film order.
THE OMEN is another one where the album opens with the END title, ends with the OPENING title and has one of the major latter-half death scenes in the middle of side A. But it flows beautifully as an album.
I really like the modern trend of presenting complete scores on one disc and album programs on another. Sometimes, even if it's just out of nostalgia, I like to go to the album program.
Cheers

Also... Also, when LP's came out with the film, it was usually only on at the cinema, with possible re-releases and then a TV showing sometime down the line, so you never really got to know the score in a C&C kind of way.
Video changed how we played our films and heard our scores, before DVD and now digital/stream blew it wide open.
I only really got to know 'film score order' from my various tape-TV dubs, that's why Something Wicked and Natty Gann - amongst many others - sounded so wrong to me, when finally released on CD.
Technology has changed our whole listening process.

Kev, this is a great point that I had completely forgotten about in the last 25 years or so. Album order worked just fine when you didn't know the movies so well scene by scene.

Well, again the main titles aren't in the middle as much as they are the opening of Side 2. A minor distinction, sure.

On CD as I heard it the Untouchables titles were in the middle, though I understood that was side 2 starting on other formats (I was well trained by then) - the years of transition!
