All the "complete" scores are released.

Spare songs, or cues, as they are called, written for the films, can be heard in the movies but are not included in the released cds, also the songs he wrote for tv documentaries are unreleased, except for the song "My Claim to Fame", originally recorded for the Swan Hunter documentary and released some years later as a bonus track in the "Darling Pretty" cd-single

Take a look at this lp bootleg:

Referring to the vinyl part of your question, Wag The Dog, Shot Of Glory and Altamira are not available on vinyl. I hope for Wag The Dog as a Record Store Day release some time in the future.

Clear as the day

Yes, as Robson said, "The Color of Money", released in both LP and CD.

Haven't watched The Color of Money in a long time. Good film.
