I hope this is a sign that the complete soundtracks to the last 2 Star Wars prequels will come down the pipe at some point sooner rather than later.

And hopefully more reminiscent of the original trilogy releases than the "Ultimate" edition for Episode I.

The press release says the soundtracks are "expanded," which doesn't necessarily mean "complete." The title "The Complete Soundtracks Collection" could mean that the overall collection is complete in the sense of containing the scores to all four movies, not necessarily that each individual soundtrack is comprehensive.

As for why KotCS wasn't "expanded," I'd guess it's because the previous three scores were originally released on LP, a format that could hold only about 45 minutes of music, while the fourth movie was originally released on CD, a format that can hold about 70 minutes of music. So the KotCS soundtrack release probably wasn't abridged to begin with, at least not to the same extent the originals were.

Nice. I am totally getting this. I only own that highlights compilation CD that was released a few years ago (and then re-released for Indy 4). Granted, I already own the Indy 4 soundtrack, so hopefully these CDs will be released individually as well as a box set. Probably not, but I can hope. If worse comes to worse, I can e-bay my extra Indy 4 copy or give it to a friend.

I don't expect any of the scores on this to be complete. The complete score for Raiders runs about 83 minutes and the sequel scores are even longer. Also the re-use fees for the sequels (they were all recorded in Los Angeles) will be very expensive. Raiders was recorded in London where the pay structure is different.

It'll be nice that this music is back in print, but I'm not expecting a comprehensive collection like Superman - The Music.

Some more info stating that the Temple of Doom and Last Crusade scores will indeed be expanded.

^ I like how that article indicates that the expanded CDs may be released individually later on.
