Would love to have the original tracks plus any alternates and unused cues....

It's on my wishlist. Wasnt the CD release a re-recording?
Yes, the CD is not the Film Score ... it's re-recording version ... anyway, it would be great if some label released the Film Score of this movie ...

I tried to make a music (with effects) rip from the 5.1 dvd audio since dialog is usually on one channel, but the music was too separated, didnt come out well.
Humm...It was not good? What a pity, would be an alternative ... Anyway, I recognize your efforts, fellow. I already tried to do some things like that, with some other soundtracks ... a long time ago I did this with 'The Odd Couple' (but in this case, there are almost no dialogues during the music) ... but now with the Varese release film score, this is solved for me ...

This is an all-time classic film score and yes, I'd love the complete original side-by-side with a quality remaster of the original album tracks.
(Those early EMI-Manhattan CDs were not well mastered.)
I did suggest this to Chris Neel when he was still the main man for enabling MGM related score releases and he thought it was a good idea and looked into it. However—and forgive me, I can't remember the specifics—but I seem to recall the problem was there was no way to get the original tracks out while the commercial album was still another company's property. And, I think it's another company's property in perpetuity.
In other words, it looked then like it's something that could never ever happen.
But, finger's crossed. Times change. Attitudes change. Possibilities change.
Cheers

As far as the problem of doing a different release while another is still in print goes, both Intrada and La La Land managed to do The Blue Max while the Legacy edition was still around, so at least there's a precedent.
But those scores have nothing to do with this one. The issue may be contractual and only apply to this particular score. Lukas has often mentioned that each album is a completely different situation with unique language.

The same has been said about the Mancini titles - and now we have the original tracks of "Breakfast At Tiffany's", "Hatari", "Charade" and "Two For The Road". "Giant" also required additional agreement with UMG to get it done. It's not impossible but I think it would require a lot of extra money which may not match with sales figures for this kind of title...

All I'm saying is that “precedent” doesn't mean much unless you know the contractual language.

Another difference between Midnight Cowboy and, say, Hatari, is that it is/was a commercial ('pop' if you will) album not just a film soundtrack and there's multiple artists involved, which likely means complicated licensing.
That said, times change, I hope this can happen.
