The theory that Maestro recorded material specifically for the album is quite a valid one. He does it quite often.
Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Not impossible or but it has some difficulty if you want to join some of the material from the OST to the FYC tracks. But it is not the case with all the tracks as we have discussed above. Some of them can work on their own without any great need for editing.um so its impossible (too difficult) to mix the FYC with the OST?
Damn
E.g. Capturing the Plane and The Crane Fight are to me entirely listenable as they are on the FYC CD. These two are the major additional pieces of music from the score on the FYC CD in my opinion along with The Thompsons and Snowy in Pursuit and Flight to Bagghar.
Well it might be a bit easier but the fact that the FYC CD contains music as edited for the film presents the challenge of trying to edit some stuff into the tracks when you know the OST might have more music than what is in the film edit. E.g. I did not even try to edit the Captain Haddock Takes the Oars from the OST with the corresponding track on the FYC CD sinceCertainly not impossible. But quite hard. maybe after the DVD has been released it will be easier.
A) I was too lazy to pinpoint where I should insert the extra material
B) I am not so good an editor that the edit would sound good and seamsless to my ears.
and finally I just decided to leave these OST tracks (Captain Haddock Takes the Oars and Capturing Mr. Silk end half) as alternates at the end of the presentation.
Here is my quick and relatively dirty edit:
1. The Adventures Of Tintin (OST)
2. The Secret of the Scrolls (OST)
3. Marlinspike Hall (OST)
4. The Thompsons and Snowy in Pursuit (FYC CD): Here I replaced the Snowy in Pursuit section with the music from the OST since Jason thought in his comments above that it might be shorter or edited compared to the OST version.
5. Introducing Haddock (OST Captain Haddock Takes the Oars 0:00-0:34)
6. Escape From The Karaboudjan (OST)
7. The Third Unicorn (Captain Haddock Takes the Oars FYC CD 0:00-0:22): I separated this snippet from the following track to which it belongs on the FYC CD.
8. Captain Haddock Takes the Oars - Capturing Mr. Silk (Film Version) (FYC CD)
9. Capturing The Plane (FYC CD)
10. The Flight To Bagghar (Film Version): Here I edited the opening of the OST track (around 0:00-1:10) into the opening of the FYC track so it includes the missing accordion music.
11. Sir Francis and the Unicorn (OST)
12. A Sober Haddock (0:00-1:03 OST track 10)
13. Red Rackham's Curse and the Treasure (OST)
14. Milanese Nightingale (FYC): Has the few second rendition of the Unicorn Theme at the beginning which is not on the OST, and actually a part of another cue entirely and oddly joined with the Milanese Nightingale. Still I did not separate it but kept it in place as in the film it is here.
15. Presenting Bianca Castafiore (OST)
16. The Pursuit Of The Falcon (OST)
17. The Captain's Counsel (OST)
18. The Crane Fight (FYC CD): There is a noticeable loop of Snowy's Theme at 1:53 but I let it slide since I did not want to bother with editing the piece nor did I want to contemplate editing some definitive version out of this piece.
19. The Return To Marlinspike Hall And Finale (OST)
20. Snowy's Theme (OST)
21. The Adventure Continues (OST)
I tacked the alternate material after the chronological presentation of the score
22. Introducing the Thompsons and Snowy's Chase (OST): OST version with different opening with Thompsons' Theme.
23. Captain Haddock Takes The Oars (OST 0:35-end): As Jason mentioned this is for the longer version of the scene.
24. Capturing Mr. Silk (OST track 10. 1:04-end): This is the longer and alternate version of the music from Capturing Mr. Silk scene.
25. The Flight To Bagghar (OST)
26. The Milanese Nightingale (OST): Not absolutely necessary. I just put it here for the clean opening. Also the FYC CD has that few second opening missing from the OST (actually the end of another cue as Jason said in his comments).
27. The Clash Of The Cranes (OST)
28. The Adventures of Tintin (Film Version) (FYC CD): Very small difference in the drum kit sound which is a bit more prominent on the FYC CD than on the OST, I think.

1. The final note of "Finale" (really 5m31 "To Be Continued") is the same one that starts the end credits piece
2. The opening note of "The Adventure Continues" is in a different key than the final note of "Finale", meaning it was probably never intended to be played directly after it (Even though they do overlap on the album)
3. The final note of the Sir Francis segment transitions very smoothly into Snowy's Them
4. A unique clean opening and ending were recorded for the segment of "Sir Francis and the Unicorn" used.
Thoughts and comments?

Ditto. Not unexpected. Mr. Takis' deductions look pretty sound to me. Williams has done this before.ok, well I'll buy that
Another recent example of end credits editing is War Horse where Homecoming is edited into pieces and other music is inserted between those sections but I doubt that it was Williams' original intention. I mean there would have been easier ways to extend the original 8 minute piece.

Mr. John Takis has convinced me that the End Credits in the film (and on the FYC) actually reflect Williams' original intentions! Reasons:
1. The final note of "Finale" (really 5m31 "To Be Continued") is the same one that starts the end credits piece
2. The opening note of "The Adventure Continues" is in a different key than the final note of "Finale", meaning it was probably never intended to be played directly after it (Even though they do overlap on the album)
3. The final note of the Sir Francis segment transitions very smoothly into Snowy's Them
4. A unique clean opening and ending were recorded for the segment of "Sir Francis and the Unicorn" used.
Thoughts and comments?
Mm, it could very well be, but I'm not entirely sold about it. The fact the last note of "Finale" and the first note of "Sir Francis and the Unicorn" are the same doesn't automatically lead to the fact the two pieces were meant to be segued, imho. I think the transition between the Finale and The Adventure Continues as heard on the OST album works better. Did anyone check if the Sir Francis portions as heard in the End Credits is the exact same recording?
However, it's always difficult to break down how Williams manages end credits cues in the latest years. My guess is that since the credits reel is still very much in the works when he writes the bulk of the score, he prepares one or two pieces in concert-like arrangements that could be used for the purpose and then lets the music editors decide how to use it.
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

I agree that the transition from "Finale" to "The Adventure Continues" does work brilliantly on the OST, but it can't be argued that it's not in the same key.

Yup. Shame that the ending is so obviously tacked with music from Escape from Karaboudjan. I would have liked to hear how Williams originally finished the piece.Totally agreed

Capturing the Plane has tracked material at the end from Escape from Karaboudjan which is basically the Sakharine Theme spliced there before the actual cue can wind down.What is tracked in what track exactly?

The Plane track seems slightly over-hyped.
Yeah, but I'd still like to get my hands on it, tracked music and all!

wow, it went for 240 dollars
Geez!

Holy...
See it jumped from114$ to 240$ in the final minute of the auction
More money than sense.
I stopped bidding once it hit 75. Never expected it to hit 240 bucks!
Ahem, I believe you gentleman are forgetting a certain Avatar promo that sold for a mere $3,000.
In 50 years Herrmann will be forgotten.
