Somebody (besides Thor) please try and do this: List more than five Jerry Goldsmith scores that came across WORSE in EXPANDED/COMPLETE form rather than the original album selection. I think that's going to be pretty hard, personally. Count me in for an expanded Leviathan if it happens. Yavar

Another Bottle cap collector... :-) Ford A Thaxton Ford, your questions could be asked about many of your own releases. Look at Warriors of Virtue.... its been released now 3 times. The second one made sense, IMHO as it was expanded and is still easy to find. But the third.... is exactly the same except for apparent remastered sound. Wel since asked in a fairly nice way, I'll do my best to answer your question 1.) The Rhino Release of WARRIORS OF VIRTUE contained only a very small portion of Don Davis's and some more a song compilation then anywhere else and is very much out of print. 2.) The Prometheus release came out in late 1997 and was around for a long time, but was always a fairly hard to find (For non-soundtrack collectors) and went out of print a few years ago (Prometheus has been selling off their remaining stock for sometime) 3.) Don Davis liked the score and wondered if we could bring it back? The content of the existing master s what Don wanted released and honored his wishes. 4.) Since it is a fantasy film score, that has appeal beyond just soundtrack collectors which is very important to do. 5.) Beyond getting a chance to remaster it, we also had the chance to have new notes done by Randall D. Larson and new artwork designed by Mark Banning for it that I think is a bit of improvement over the PROMETHEUS which done about 17 years. ago. 6.) It's also available fairly easily now at a very good reasonable price for those folks who might not have picked up the PROMETHEUS CD. 7.) We'll also be releasing it for the first time digitally (Something that has not happened before) in the near future. 8.) We really liked the score and wanted to make sure it was available once again. You might not agree with our reasons, but there they are. Ford A. Thaxton

I think that's going to be pretty hard, personally. I think the opposite. And I dont like to have all those fewer-than-40-seconds cues in the program just for completism sake. I'm fine with those getting combined sometimes so they aren't as bitty. I don't see your list of 6+ Goldsmith titles worse in expanded form.... Yavar

Yavar too many to mention, specially his 90s output: CONGO, SUM OF AL FEARS, NEMESIS, HOLLOW MAN, THE EDGE, VANISHING, FOREVER YOUNG, SLEEPING W ENEMY, NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER, BAD GIRLS... (and I dont name the b**ts... that someday will be released, for sure) even some that are better in long form tend to be a little too long too (THE SHADOW, EXPLORERS...)

Well you're certainly entitled to your opinion but I think you're in the minority. Congo, Bad Girls, and The Edge in particular play better in complete form IMO. And though I trimmed down my complete Nemesis (too much droning underscore) it contains so many highlights that were omitted on the terrible original album (in favor of much of that droning underscore) that I think it's essential.

I only just dipped into the YouTube thing at random, but at the 10-min mark there's another thinly-disguised (as in not-at-all) Goldsmith... can't quite place it offhand. Is it INCHON? If I got that on a "lucky dip", there must be loads more in there. PS - And starting 2:50... more Goldsmith. What IS that?
