As a life-long Elvis (and Don Siegel) fan I must say its great to get that final music cue from Flaming Star, (a release of the full soundtrack would have been even better, lol). Many thanks La La Land! I also am looking forward to the extra music from S*P*Y*S, a film and score I have always enjoyed, I have the American DVD with Goldsmith's fun score in situ!

So the extra material amounts to just shy of 7 minutes for The Stripper-
23. Should I? 1:29
33 Should I? / The Dancing Lesson (Film Combo) 3:04
Maybe 1:29 of non-Goldsmith for The Stripper, unless track 23 is a variant he arranged. Track 33 already appears on FSM as track 10 The Dancing Lesson (includes "Should I" by Nacio Herb Brown & Arthur Freed) 3:01
For disc 1, the new Goldsmith is
34 Pacer’s Farewell
(From Flaming Star) 2:26
So, basically, rebuying this for 2:26. Great.
I think disc 1 is about bringing The Stripper back into print, perhaps with a sonic upgrade, given Mike Matessino's involvement. As for the whole package, add the expanded (also likely sonically upgraded) * * * .
(That's how it's spelled, right? ... no wait...)

But sound-wise it could also probably accurately be called the missing link between Jerry's two kooky jazzy action Flint scores from the 60s, and his Joe Dante everything-and-the-kitchen-sink comedy style from the 80s-00s...which does take you into the ponytail era I guess. (Have you heard any of his scores for Dante like the Gremlins scores or The 'Burbs or Looney Tunes?)

The "Main Title" to S*P*Y*S 100% reminded me of Gremlins and made me think it's almost to Goldsmith what "Heartbeeps" was to Williams.

There is a simple way to calculate how much is new for The Stripper; I'm not sure if people are going about it the right way. One thing to keep in mind is that the FSM edition had two versions of the End Title: a damaged stereo version and an undamaged mono version. This seems to do away with one version so I'm guessing that the damaged stereo version was repaired and the mono version no longer considered necessary to include. So let's do a little bit of math:
https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/detail.cfm/cdID/79/
Subtracting 10:27 of Nick Quarry and one of the 1:29 End Title, the old play time of the FSM for The Stripper including all source music was about 61:39.
The first disc of LLL's new Vol. 3 is 69:16, from which one must subtract the "Pacer's Farewell" finale cue from Flaming Star running 2:26, to arrive at 66:50 of music from The Stripper only.
Now it may primarily be Goldsmith-arranged source music that's new (aside from probably an undamaged stereo version of the End Title cue, premiering here as I said), but that's approximately 5:11 more music compared to the FSM edition. Plus it all probably sounds better given there's more than 20 years worth of technological advances since the FSM, and Mike Mattesino was on the job!
But I'd be lying if I said that the additional 15 minutes of music from SPYS isn't the primary draw...for ME, anyway. And having the superb Flaming Star finale cue premiered on CD here is a great bonus, and the appropriate place to put it as it was Jerry's very first work for 20th Century Fox and it's paired on disc with his first full score written under contract to the studio.

Eh... but now I see it's more complicated, with "Should I?" being included as part of one of the FSM tracks, whereas here it's provided separately from the score cue as well as a combined version included in the additional tracks. So maybe there's only around 2 minutes of new music from The Stripper then?

You can listen FSM samples for Stripper 
Thanks. I'll wait to hear from a Goldy fan. I know there are many of them here.
Goldy Hawn? Papillons Are Free? Laugh-In Like Flint?
I'm the Goldsmith fan who will tell OnyaBirri what he wants to hear - The Stripper is the closest that Goldsmith got to sounding like George Duning. Need Zardoz speak more?
