The 2 disc set or the 3 disc set?
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

I believe that the one mentioned must be the first bootleg that surfaced, I believe around 1999. That one had a poorer sound and only circulated on CD-R format.
Shortly after a pressed bootleg came around. Acording to some reliable sources, the source for this bootleg was a Academy promo.
Both were 2 CD sets.
The later 3 and 4 CD sets are fan made, and include rips from the DVD.
The first, CD-R bootleg
The later pressed bootleg

Somehow I doubt the source for the pressed bootleg is an Academy promo.You can hear it was heavily dehissed,it was probably the first bootleg cleaned up.

Well, the real question then becomes, is the first one sourced from the academy promo because most of the Hook tracks I've experienced are delightfully out of tune.
I've experienced this with tape rips as I once tried to rip both Accidental Tourist and Titanic from their tapes becuase I couldn't get the CD's. The effect I got was almost the same. Dead, de-hissed sound and off pitch.
The whole story behind the bootlegs confuses me but as for what the track list is... I posted it in a hook thread I did a while back. There seems to be some confusion over what exactly a lot of the supposed alternate tracks are but the reality is most are just more complete versions of released/other tracks.
I'd have to find that thread again though...
EDIT:
Cue List
Now mind you, that's with everything broken down and it's not a complete one unfortunately... I never finished the set... It may not be what you're looking for but it is a slightly better understanding of what is available.

Well,it might have been recorded from the Promo on a cassette tape ,which was used for some time then became the source of the bootlegs...or something like that
All I'm saying it's not a direct c.d. quality rip from a Promo,even if it came from that originally.In those days it wasn't that easy to make a direct digital transfer yet.

I agree with KM on this one. It was probably a transfer from the master tapes or in this case an Academy Promo CD to a cassette tape then transfered from the cassette tape to the computer. Whoever ripped the score probably didn't have the proper equipment to do it. Now a days most of your complete scores come directly from the session masters or composers DAT and 90% of them have top quality sound to them.
Edit: Also a lot if not most of your complete scores will generally have the original track title names for the cues.

Perhaps... but at the same time, I noticed in my study of the score, a lot of supposed "alternated" were just the album recordings missing a few seconds. You could even hear the edits at times which is one of the stranger things.
Also, the ability of the track names to remain pure is somewhat speculative but I know that the edit that I started working on, I tried to keep some of the names but at the same time, it proved confusing because the same cue might have several.
