From the response on here, there was clearly a decent score hidden/masked/spoiled by songs.
That's actually not really the case. The song album wasn't so much a soundtrack as it was a concept album of songs inspired by the movie. If memory serves, "Blaze of Glory" is the only song from the album that actually appears in the movie, and that's during the end montage/credits. But of course the marketing push in 1990 was for the big single and the new songs from Jon Bon Jovi, and not the actual soundtrack.
ETA: The first film I believe had nothing but a score, but it was a synth-based contemporary score and not orchestral. It's actually quite good but it's obviously nothing like Silvestri's work.
Horner was the original composer on Young Guns and was hired based upon his collaboration with director Christopher Cain on Where the River Runs Black. Unfortunately, Morgan Creek had other ideas on where the music should go and ended up replacing Horner with a couple of advertising jingle type guys. At that time, I was a Horner fanatic and was so INCENSED by this that I mentally blocked their names form my mind. To this day, I can't recall them...nor do I know anything of the replacement score. Oh well....I sure would like to hear what Horner came up with though.
Oh, and yeah....ORDERED!!
You were the first person I thought of when I heard this was announced. Oh, OK, I thought of Alan Ruck first.
People have gotten the two of us confused before, so I am not at all surprised by this. Oh, OK, I am completely shocked that you'd think of that Ruck bastard first!

Of course the b00t can't be retired completely, as it has his quite brilliant score to MAC & ME on it, plus that great American Anthem track.
I absolutely love the MAC & ME score, probably more than Young Guns 2, although YG2 is ace.
If we don't care about those scores...can we get rid of the boot? I love it when I can replace a boot with an official release

It amazes me at how people are so against boots, but there are so many people posting here that with the official release they can get rid of the boot now! Well, the 2 boots that I had have long been shattered and thrown away! I was convinced that they were "Composer Promos" when I bought them, only to find out they were CD-Rs of the real "Composer Promos." Anyway, while limiting myself to 1 CD purchase a week, I will have 1941!

Depends on what b00t you own. There's of course more than one for Young Guns 2 and the one i have has the full sessions but not so good sound. I am glad to finally be able to throw it away.

I have the footwarmer with Mac and Me. Not really keen on that one.
Another frisbee replaced by a treasure.

It is and it isn't. Most of the Young Guns II footwarmers hail from a very different era in film music collecting. Things weren't quite so clear as to what was a promo (which was, at the time, relatively kosher) and a pressed bootleg, and there were few distinctions being made by some of the vendors. Remember how few people were aware that the Label X CD of Dragonslayer was a boot… Sometimes it doesn't become clear until well after the fact…
We live in somewhat more enlightened times now.

It's not so much revisionism as it is simply the result of a lawless frontier that got civilized. People who may have been involved in such activities in their reckless youths went legit when new legal methods of getting the music out there were made possible. In order to do that, they had to clamp down on reviews and discussions of illegal activity.
Anyway, that's enough on that topic anyway. We're here to talk about Young Guns II.

. But, I'm getting my paycheck in a couple of days, and then it'll be mine. I'm loving those samples.
