I had written,
"The Other (Varese / Fox) -- In this mid-90s, Varese put out a 22 minute single track "suite" of this as a bonus on their release of The Mephisto Waltz, but even that was enough for them to control this title in perpetuity, as Bruce Kimmel sadly revealed since he desperately wanted to put out the complete score on Kritzerland. Thankfully, Twilight Time did give us a "complete" isolated score track on their Blu-ray release of the film, bringing the released length of the score above 40 minutes, but, as with the Flint scores, their iso track maintained any film edits to cues so even it isn't truly "complete" as recorded. We need a Deluxe Edition from Varese with every note recorded for this wonderful score!"

And it looks like that is what we have just gotten, with the length of that old suite being doubled! (And thank goodness, individual cues.)

And a lot of this wonderful music is going to be new to a lot of folks, because much of it went unused in the film as well!

I think I can probably remove these three scores from the list now...
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lpfilmmusic/record-jerry-goldsmiths-scores-for-pursuit-and-crawlspace

Sure, the original recordings could show up some day (just like The Salamander or Hour of the Gun) but since we'll soon have complete new recordings (recorded late last year) that's satisfactory for me! I'm also going to remove Damnation Alley, because it's inconsistent to keep it there when Leigh Phillips re-created the synth parts. I had written,

"Damnation Alley -- Doug Fake of Intrada recently confirmed that the complete orchestral tapes did survive for Intrada's imminent release of the score, but that the synth parts were lost and had to be recreated by Leigh Phillips. Maybe some day they will be discovered and we will get the full film recording at last, but until then it's amazing that Intrada paid for the expense of re-recording this important part of the score so that the entire composition could be released on disc.
...
Pursuit -- totally unreleased save for one track re-recorded by Silva. Perhaps that bodes well for Mr. Fitzpatrick tackling the rest of the score in a Tadlow re-recording for Prometheus? If anyone is worried about a re-recording being unable to capture the 70s feel of the originals, Mr. Fitzpatrick has said that wouldn't be a problem. Based on the results of the Hour of the Gun pop theme arrangement, I'm inclined to believe him. And replicating the synthesizers on The Salamander was perfectly well done. I have done "Advance Liner Notes" and a complete score breakdown of this here:

...
Crawlspace (CBS) -- I don't believe it's ever been confirmed that the original recording for this is lost, but despite being one of Goldsmith's best unreleased works, no one has put it out yet so that doesn't bode well. I recently finished a full watch of the film and did a complete score breakdown with "advance liner notes" here: http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=116952&forumID=1&archive=0
...
CBS Playhouse: The People Next Door -- This is essentially a TV movie, and the score's main title foreshadows Chinatown. I will be doing a complete score breakdown on it in the future."

No need for a complete score breakdown on The People Next Door now, obviously!

I'm going to leave The Chairman in the main post for now, until Intrada gets around to actually recording it at least (or at minimum until it successfully runs its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign). But absolutely amazing news shared yesterday, and I look forward to eventually crossing it off the list as well!
