For me, the 3-disc LLL Die Hard release was a revelation. The movie is one of my all time favorites, but I never enjoyed the score by itself anywhere near as much. I missed out on the Varese single disc, but I did get the original 2-disc LLL released, and I thought that closed the book on the score. I wasn't originally going to buy the latest release, but when La La Land had one of its sales I caved. The 3 disc set has much better sound, and I appreciate the score far more as a standalone listen than I ever had before. So well done La La Land!

Interesting. For lots of reasons I've been hemming and hawing about deluxing my OST. I've always thought the ROCKETEER album was a flawless album assembly and didn't feel the itch I expected to when Intrada's expansion came out. I may have to revisit. What are your favorite cues not on the OST?
I also wondered what was the need for an expansion of what I felt was a perfect album. But I too am very glad I did finally pick this up - now that I know what was missing, I don't think I'll go back to the original release much.

Most recently I'd have to say ALIEN 3 by La-La Land.
This is one where I've been on the fence about for a long time. Do I really need it? The original soundtrack album plays very well, is has lots of great music and a good flow, good sound to.
So I put of buying it. But I have the expanded editions of the other ALIEN scores, and they were all very much worth it, so I finally got ALIEN3 too. Have not listened to it yet, so not sure... but it might be a contender for "expansions I didn't know I needed", because I don't know that I need it so far, but maybe I'm wrong. I got the CD to check it out.

While I have always thought that Alien 3 was a great score, I actually never listened to the original album. I don't know why but I didn't like it.
So I was greatly surprised when I listened to the full score on the La-La Land release, it's a much better listening experience!
A complete edition for Sphere would be welcomed, now.
