Then having stuff not for the original films is fine, as long as it is fairly related, and what you listed I suppose is related enough.

The cover is gorgeous!! The best one so far, I think. I wanted something with the ballroom, but I was scared it wouldn’t look great because Bove has trouble with the character designs (particularly faces with small details/lipstick). This turned out absolutely perfect!
Glad we'll be getting the full (?) score, though it looks like they're combining multiple scenes into one track a la Cinderella and Robin Hood. A minor quibble, to be sure, but at least we're getting them.
I'm guessing the full demo of "Belle" is now included, as opposed to the first ten seconds that was on "Music Behind the Magic." So that, plus the extended score, is what's new to this release.
It looks like we'll not get the three instrumental tracks from "Music Behind the Magic": "Prologue," "Wolf Attack (Unreleased Master)," and "Transformation #1" a.k.a. "Death of the Beast" (tacked onto the end credits for the Special Edition).
I was hoping we'd finally have official releases for the "Something There" and "The Mob Song" demo tracks, but I guess not. And I guess my imaginary third disc still only exists in my head.

The cover is gorgeous! Can't wait for this. I've gotten used to these releases being near perfect, but never fully there when it comes to content.

You’re right, even for The Little Mermaid a lot of cues were merged into one track. Even cues that were split into separate tracks on the OST’s were sometimes merged for the Legacy Collection releases. I’m hopeful the Beauty and the Beast score will be complete in this release (merged or not).
I was really hoping this release would have supplementary tracks like maybe a Piano demo of the Prologue, the beautiful West Wing cue or even the Transformation but it seems like the focus is just on the songs (which have been really over-done with the Broadway show and the 2017 live action film, IMO)

That cover is gorgeous!
I must say, it looks like we are getting the full score however, it is still weak to me. They have many demos and alternative songs that can be added to this. A few others got way more than this.
I’m still purchasing this though. This is my favorite animated classic and I’m happy to add this to my collection as soon as it comes out!
I'm happy it seems we're getting the whole score (with Human Again included in its proper place!), but I guess I expected a bit more on the extras side. A third disk wouldn't hurt this edition at all.
I'm glad we're finally getting the full score, but it still seems like a rather poor release to me... They're not even including the demos of all the songs! It's such a shame that they're not putting more effort in the soundtracks of the most recent movies; I'm still not over the fact that they didn't include ANY demos in the Lion King one.
I just recently wrote to Amazon.com's staff about the problem (since their supporting staff is really good with helping customers) and they said that the albums were delivered damaged. Unfortunately they didn't say anything about when the item would eventually be available again. But at least they told me why it was removed.
And yes, I'm bummed about this

I hope then there'll just be a delay, not a cancellation.
