Quelques précisions pour le Zimmer qui rendent encore plus pertinente cette édition d'un score très sympathique qui sort des sentiers battus de l'ami Hans :

More info from Stephane on JWFan:
This score is absolute chaos (but fun chaos).
It was written 3 times (version 3 being a hybrid of 1 (that was almost completely lost) and 2. And there's just about 40 minutes used in the film (and some cues being repeated like 3 or 4 times in that total !).
So, presenting it as a complete & chronological like we usually do didn't make much sense.
Instead it's all about creating a coherent album with all that. Melissa Muik actually did a good job in 2003 compiling it, so starting from there was the best option, and then see all the unused/alternates or just used in film but unreleased cues and expand on it.
Yes there are a lot of alternates which are basically the same ideas repeated over & over, sometimes with one instrument changed or an edit. I wasn't going to include every second and have something completely unlistenable ! razz
