I'd also suggest that this is the most similar type of thing to the bootleg "expanded" soundtracks problem we discussed a week or two ago, where a "pop" soundtrack and a "score" soundtrack both end up sharing tracks on an "expanded" soundtrack bootleg. The best way to describe those, I think, is to think of the "expanded" soundtrack as akin to a 2-in-1 of the separate pop and score soundtracks. Brian
