I'm thinking of buying the soundtrack and I'm wondering if it contains the entire score. I know that a lot of soundtrack albums only contain selections of the score (unless they're released by Intrada Records or La-La-Land Records) and I'm wondering if this is the case for “The Rocketeer”.
Thank you.
The Rocketeer is a good score that has a majority of the music from the film, but not all. Some cues are missing, such as the music that plays when Neville Sinclair overhears Cliff talking about the rocket pack on the movie set and tries to get a glimpse of who it is. Overall, you get most of the music, though.
I am surprised that Intrada has never released an expanded, remastered score.

I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.
I was thinking as I typed up the original post "Gee, it sure would be nice if Intrada released the complete score to "The Rocketeer" soon, especially since the film turns 25 this year". Then I saw this this morning: http://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/exclusive-preview-intradas-expanded-edition-rocketeer/
shareHow funny. This whole thread exists as if to clue us in that a new release of the score is out! I just ordered me a copy! Such a coincidence! Well, thanks for posting the link!
