... As I said, reuse fees. Besides, I trust Mattessino when he says there are obstacles, financial and logistical.

You know, it never occurred to me that TOD and TLC weren't recorded by the LSO. And I even own the TLC cd! I guess that's a casualty of ripping and listening on iTunes. I remember reading the liner notes in the OST for Star Wars over and over back in 1977. In addition to commentary from JW, they even list all the musicians and their instruments!
But I'd still be somewhat happy with download-only release of these puppies.

I cannot imagine that reuse fees would be extraordinarily expensive. Scores recorded by union musicians in Hollywood are released and rereleased all the time. Surely it's not that big a deal...

Re-releases are pretty rare. How many of Williams's post-1985 (or so) L.A. scores have received expanded treatments? Home Alone 2 is the only one I can think of.

There are also other considerations. Sometimes it's that the studio doesn't really know what it's got in the vaults, and is unwilling to take the time to take a look -- or is just plain uncooperative. The market for film scores is tiny. Sometimes the original masters are damaged or lost or incomplete.

Yes but again, those things don't relate to "extraordinarily expensive."

Sometimes you can find the original masters in a box marked "Do Not Use".
It's amazing, the chaos that exists in some parts of the industry.

What about a box labeled "Donut Use."

As much as I want these scores re-released in expanded formats, I really don't see it happening any time soon.

In case you still haven't read the Aint It Cool News interview with 'Superman: The Music' producers Mike Matessino and Lukas Kendall, here's what Matessino had to say about the complete score releases of Indiana Jones:
DHARMESH: So, with Superman done, Indiana Jones complete soundtrack boxset is just around the corner, right?
There’s an extraordinary amount of material missing from Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, and a few cues from Raiders.
Summer 2008 seems the opportune time to capitalise on Indy mania.
MIKE MATESSINO: That isn't true, actually. There's a new movie and there will be a new album along with it and that will be the focus. The sensible opportunity will be if and when the time comes for a DVD box set (in HD, I assume) containing all four of the Indiana Jones movies.
But there are still a lot of obstacles that would have to be overcome for a score project to happen, not the least of which is that it would be extraordinarily expensive to do.
DHARMESH: We always discuss his [Williams] golden period, but soon, if not already, fans will be clamoring for expanded albums from the 90s. Home Alone 2 has been expanded, and is available on Varése Sarabande records. Which scores do you think are important to release again with more music, post 80s?
MIKE MATESSINO: Hook, Jurassic Park, the Star Wars prequels, and Harry Potter, naturally.
But again there are hurdles with all of these that will not be easy to leap. But we shouldn't give up hope, we just need to be patient. Look at the ones we have seen over the past decade and a half. We've come a long way.
