Ado Annie D'Ysquith said: "I'm have many questions. Isn't the piece sung-through? If there's only 59 minutes on this album, how much music are they not releasing on a CD? Has stuff been cut? And if they do release the full soundtrack, then why do this as well? Maybe a "Deluxe Edition" is in its future?"

Tom Hooper/Universal did the same thing for the Les Mis soundtrack. I hate that it's a highlights version, but surely (like Les Mis) they'll eventually release a full soundtrack.

I'm hoping for a full one in time.

Any ideas what this Magical Gus might be and why it would end up on this and not left to a possible extended edition later? it seems to be something instrumental (but not the Jellicle Ball)

me too

Somehow, I think my collection will manage without this.

I really want to see this movie and I really want there to be a full soundtrack of all the music. With just the highlights, it would be like reading the CliffsNotes version of "A Tale of Two Ciites" but not the complete novel.

It's not a complete Les Miz score, but they did release a 2 disc deluxe edition like a month after they released the highlight CD, I remember double dipping and felt a little salty about it but I loved Les Miz so I was ok. I don't think I like Cats enough to buy the soundtrack twice.. So this time around I'm gonna wait.

This is the deluxe les mis CD I'm talking about

Or YouTube.
