Favourite Williams expanded/unreleased track

Having feel like i've exhausted Williams's OSTs, i'd been keen to find out any lesser known gems from expanded/extended soundtracks that I might have missed.

 

What are your favourite previously unreleased tracks?

I've never heard any completely unreleased tracks, as I avoid bootlegs, sessions, rips, FYCs, etc.  However, I have two thoughts:

 

If you're just counting from expansions (which were eventually released), my favorite is "The Tide Turns" from The Phantom Menace.  The incredible mix of the Force Theme and Duel of the Fates.  Belonged in a much better part of a much better Star Wars movie.

 

As far as completely unreleased, one track that I know by heart and was bummed not to see on an expansion was the rope bridge music from Temple of Doom, which I'm sure has been cobbled together from sources or at least DVD ripped if you look for it on YouTube.

Petrified Justin is not and was never unreleased, it's the last 3 quarters of the OST track 17 - Cakes for Crabbe and Goyle.

This. And it should have been on the OST.

As you all know, I don't care diddly-squat about expansions, but there are MANY great, unreleased tracks from unreleased scores that I could highlight here.

 

A few of my favourites:

 

"Karin and Bruno at Cortina" from STORIA DI UNA DONNA:

 

 

From ALCOA PREMIERE THEATRE:

 

Episode 4: "Moment of Decision" (November 7, 1961)

THE ARRIVAL OF THE MAHARAJA

CLOSING THE SCHOOL (or whatever it's called, from POA)

My favourite expanded track is BROTHER, SISTER/FATHER, SON.

My #1 is without a hint of a doubt "Mola Rum's Speech/The Evil Potion" from The Temple of Doom. John Williams has never sounded so evil before and after that.

 

Great choice!

Not familiar with this one; is it on YouTube at all?
