Still a bit of a downer for the edited part, reading the Blu-Ray(dot)com review makes it sound like they made “Mr. Big” sound less convincing a villain for downplaying the abusive nature and the drug angle. He’s just bad because he’s bad, without a reason, but who knows why that decision was made. Not that this is grounds for a possible fan-edited release to restore those missing frames, but I’m sure it’s quite minuscule a task for such a deserving film that certainly deserved a little more in the ‘extras’ department than the barebones trailer they included.

To bring this back on topic, was there any commercial release or otherwise of Bruce Broughton’s score, aside from the suite conducted by Erich Kunzel contained on the Telarc Fantastic Journey CD?
I don’t know if there was a commercial release, but I feel like I remember some of the fan sites having a score you could download.
EDIT: A ha! I thought so… Not sure the source, but it should be what you’re after.

I wanted to ask:
I have found an HDTV version in a russian tracker.
It’s 6,56 GB in size.
Does anyone know if that version is also censored?
Not sure, but I’d guess they used the same HD master which is probably edited. Might be worth checking out.
The colour timing on the bluray is really out there, VERY cold. But it’s worth it to see that incredible Man in the Mirror performance in HD.
Here’s hoping they’ll one day spruce up more of the MJ back catalogue in HD.
