Price is not concern here - the 60 extra minutes are
Sure, you pony up the money to cover all of the costs for adding the 60 extra minutes then, price not being a concern (for you anyhow). Then others who couldn't care less get the benefit of your selfless good Samaritan deed, and you get to stand back and reap the good feeling that results from spreading the results of your altruism around the world.
Or perhaps you might see why ultimately it's a business decision after you eventually go bankrupt filling the remainder of a CD with extra digital bits that have exactly zero impact on how many CDs actually get pressed.

Okay, so we have Thor to tell us how thirty mintues is all we need, then we have Marcato to tell the labels how they don't know what they are doing, then after it's released we have what's-his-name with the cartoon character with the hockey mask and blinking eyes to complain about how it's another badly mixed CD and they don't know what they are doing.

Becaurse it will be a complete mess if they included the original album on the second disc  - or at least 1st take of all cues that apperered on the original album
Hey, if it adds no extra cost for the labels themselves, I'm all with you. But what you are asking for takes up time and money, money that is *probably* better spent releasing a greater number of scores overall. It's not like these labels are rolling in cash. From my understanding of how well movie scores sell and what the labels net out at the end of the day, it seems almost like charity work on our behalf. I'm grateful for what we get, and if it makes sense financially for the labels to do what you ask, I'm totally on your side. But I really don't think our friends at LaLaLand, Intrada and others are getting rich off of catering to this very niche market.

If he was really concerned about the environment, he'd be pushing to eliminate film scores altogether (if somebody "serious" "REALLY" thought about it).

The real wonder here is that Marcato received any responses at all. He is deserving of none.

MV, Roger, others, should be thanked and praised!
Hear, hear. I've been collecting film music since the mid-1970s. The CD Era has brought such an avalanche of grails, nobody in the old days would believe it. Look at what we have!

and a 3o minute score from 1' generations could indclude 1st take as a second album option just to make use of the extra space
That's just rubbish... the length of a CD is just a physical limitation. That means there is a maximum of music that can be packed onto it, and if you need more "container space", you need a second CD.
If on a CD is 30 minutes, or 40 minutes, or 79 minutes just depends on whatever music it is you are selling. The physical audio CD itself is not really important (and pretty much a technology that's in phase out mode anyway).
To demand that the music sold on a CD should always fill the maximum capacity of an audio CD is like saying any movie should always be three hours long because that's how much HD video content can fit on a Blu-ray. That's just ridiculous.
High-Fidelity Audio Blu-rays can hold more than seven hours, yet if I buy a recording of Beethoven's Violin Concerto conducted by Kurt Masur and performed by Anne-Sophie Mutter on pure audio Blu-ray, I get about an hour of music. And I pay for about an hour of music. Would be silly to demand the remaining six hours+ to be filled with up of lots of other (more or less unrelated) stuff if I just want that one recording (and only pay for that one recording).
