Isolated score is indeed there and it does include the film version of Subway
Great to hear! The other cues that I'm also interested in hearing are the film performance of "Torchy's Boogie", which ends abruptly once Murphy's character smashes the mirror with the shot glass. And in the film, "Luther's Bus" is shortened and the solo sax eliminated

I’ll check those out. I did notice one thing that was not on the isolated score. When they go to visit the two girlfriends - There’s a workout video playing on TV and it sounds an awful lot like Horner. There’s some steel drums playing. Would love to have that little piece.
Had a chance to listen to the 48 HRS. isolated score: it's just Horner's score, minus "Aerobics", which means none of the BusBoys songs or "Torchy's Boogie". But it's good to have the film version of "Subway Station" (finally!), even with a slight volume dip for the shot when the train pulls into the platform below Luther, which seems to confirm that most of the music on this feature indeed came from the film stems, albeit in good shape. And the edited versions of "Jack Leaves Elaine's Apartment" and "Luther's Bus" are also present
Yet another second attempt. I obviously have a very nostalgic connection to the film itself, but always had a hard time getting into the score. There are elements to like here. Some actually remind me of Williams (bassline is ROSEWOOD, harmonica is CINDERELLA LIBERTY), but then obviously mixed with other elements. The steel drums, the aggressive rhythms. Some of the dissonance, the wild jazz sax solos etc. can be a bit rough on the ears, it's a very dense score. But it also has a....uhm, "sweltering" quality that is interesting. I'm torn on this one (and obviously the same can be said about the sequel score). I'm removing the songs and "The Walden Hotel" and am left with a 26-minute playlist that at least allows it to stay in my iTunes collection for now.
So that was it for the 80s. The rest is either unreleased or are scores I've always liked. I'll attempt a similar "second chance" experiment for the 90s (my favourite Horner period), but a bit down the line. Now it's time to listen to some other music for a while.
"There are elements to like here. Some actually remind me of Williams (bassline is ROSEWOOD, harmonica is CINDERELLA LIBERTY)" ---------------------------------------- There are certainly some John Williams influences in parts of 48HRS, but for me, they're all from THE MISSOURI BREAKS.
