Dav - The soundtrack I worked on was nothing to do with Sci-fi it was
sleazy British sex comedy that included music [from a major artist
from the '60 and '70's] The music on the film was different that
artist included on the soundtrack album. So on re-issuing the
soundtrack LP we wanted to include some the different mono material as
bonus tracks on the CD re-issue so maybe I'm not best placed to answer
your question.
But I suspect the answer maybe a copyright issue. When I carried out
the research for this particular soundtrack I uncovered a curious
state of affairs, in that the music on the soundtrack LP was owned
jointly between the artist and the record label in question. Yet the
music that appeared on the film although the same [but remixed to
mono for cinema release] bar a few extra incidental pieces and
different arrangements was owned by the film company, Canal +
[originally Rank] inn this particular instance althought they were
helpful in getting the music release, a separate set of clearance and
royalties applied.
