Just to clarify, because it came up in the "What Kamen scores are left to expand?"-thread here and over at JWFAN: no actual alternates or additional cues were left off the Deluxe Edition.
The cues Chris Siddall might refer to are Michael's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. takes of cues that were revised by him in the process of the recording sessions. While undoubtedly interesting, those are just work in progress takes (no alternates to be considered) and do not represent Michael's final version of the respective cue.
If one regards every take from each cue as something that should be released then no release so far is complete.
Again, no alternates or final takes were omitted. It's all there.
In fact the cues I refer to were revised. There were two weeks of sessions. In the first week cues were recorded, rewritten over the course of the week and new final cues recorded in the second week. Therefore I think that the original versions are of interest, since they were recorded to the same standard as the final cues (and could be mixed to the same level of polish), and are in most cases significantly different in terms of structure, orchestration and tone (i.e. not just lengthened or shortened to match a scene edit). I'm not sure why that would not be classed as an "alternate" cue than the one used in the final picture but it's certainly not nothing.
Regarding the Director's Cut, the new scenes used licensed source music:
Tomorrow, The Moon (George Bruns) and
When You Wish Upon A Star (Leigh Harline/Ned Washington)

You clearly know a lot more about this than I do (because, well, I know nothing).
But I think a lot of people around here assume that alternates like this are the composer's original vision before some higher-up demanded changes. Sometimes, that's true. But sometimes, a composer will feel unsatisfied at the recording and make the changes on his own. In that sense, the "original," while performed by an orchestra, is really still a rough draft, and though that might provide an interesting insight into the creative process, I would never expect any artist to want his rough drafts released publicly.
