It's a promotional CD from Super Tracks to promote the composer, not a licensed CD. Promos aren't licensed for sale, they're to be given away in the hopes of getting more work. Selling the promo makes it a bootleg. That's one of the definitions of a bootleg. Though it still happens from time-to-time, you're not even allowed to sell promos in the Trading Post on FSM for that very reason.
And as to why we still don't have a release: from 2016:
Soundtrack controlled by UMG, film controlled by Sony. Not the easiest or cheapest thing to releases.

I remember seeing promos at the major music outlets back in the day, like Camelot and Turtles. They even had a "Not For Sale" stickers on them. I picked up a few.

I see! A Promo could become a bootleg. Always thought a bootleg is only an illegal audio recording during the recording sessions.
And just so no one confuses what I am saying: selling it makes it a bootleg; Ford producing the promo and the promo being available to promote the work of the composer (when he was alive) does not make it a bootleg.
And speaking for myself, I have no blanket opinion on the ethicacy of selling promos. I've really not given it much thought and don't know the cons other than some guess work.
Top Gun 1 & 2 $39.98 Quantum of Solace (expanded) David Arnold $29.98 Catch me if you Can (John Williams) $29.98 A League of their Own (Hans Zimmer) $29.98 Single White Female (Howard Shore) $21.98
hopefully one or two of them will be included !
and why not :
Cocoon (reissue) James Horner Goodbye Mr Chips (reissue) Leslie Bricusse How to steal a Million (Johnny Williams - better source ) The Godfather (Nino Rota) Lost World (John Williams)
Top Gun 1 & 2 $39.98 The Godfather (Nino Rota) $29.98 Catch me if you Can (John Williams) $29.98 A League of their Own (Hans Zimmer) $29.98 Lost World (John Williams) $21.98
hopefully one or two of them will be included !
I'd definitely be on board for more than a couple of these. I'm REALLY hoping Top Gun is in this batch. Its been such a roller coaster ride for both LLL and the fans with the release (and delayed releases) of TP: Maverick.
