How expanded is the main score portion?
Edit- I already have their previous release.

How expanded is the main score portion?
This is what I'm wondering. I have the original 2-disc version ripped to MP3, and my playlist runs 2h 15m total--but that's with 16 minutes of alternate cues at the end but also without the two songs on that release ("We Don't Wanna Grow Up" and "When You're Alone").
So it looks to be about 10 minutes extra.
But the tracks don't match up between these two releases. Some look to be separated (e.g. "The Ultimate War" cues), but even the track titles that do match...some of them are different lengths, so I can't tell if stuff has been trimmed, combined, or both. A good example is "Banning Back Home". The version that I have from the set that was included on Disc 1 is 2m 23s, and neither version on the new set matches it (I'm thinking this was an album version, and they've since found an original version...??).
My initial thought was "Eh, I don't need the double dip", but I'm not so sure now. The songs I could do without since I was never a fan of them (but, on paper, I do like the inclusion of the instrumental "When You're Alone"), but these samples are sounding great.
Edit....yeah, double dipping, it is. This set just sounds too good and seems to have enough value to warrant the $40. Between this, Zorro, and Sneakers, I'm glad I have Capital One Rewards Cash on hand...LOL

Hooking amazing. I'm so excited for this.
I'm hoping that it will contain the opening of "We Don't Wanna Grow Up" as heard in the film. A small tiny variation that I've always wanted to hear away from the film.
Regardless... can not wait!! Thanks to all involved xxx

While HOOK is by no means among my favorite Spielberg films, the music score is among my all time favorite Williams scores. I always liked the original soundtrack album, as that is a great listen, but was also happy when LLL released an expanded version with many interesting cues. But at that time, the music was pulled from different sources and was sonically not ideal (even though it was by no means a "bad" sounding release).
I hope this new set rectifies some of that, and it just looks wonderful. I have already ordered it (via Music Box France).

I'd be interested in getting just the songs, and put them together as a sort of mini version of what the original Peter Pan musical would have sounded like.
There is no "original Peter Pan musical" to start with when it comes to the songs written for HOOK. Or at least, not in the way you probably have thought or known so far.
It's still early to reveal all the backstory and all the insight about the music and how this release has come together, but everything (and I mean *everything*) will be revealed at some point. The liner notes will have already a general account of all this, but for a proper deep dive about everything HOOK check on The Legacy of John Williams soon

You know... I hadn't even thought to check! I'm not used to being able to straight after the announcement Thanks Jay.
