Update - v1.4.1 released
Hi guys,
the last couple of days I've been working on a version of the GotG score which includes the film versions of the tracks included on the OST (without EQing, but edited to have the same arrangement etc), cuts off all the annoying seconds between tracks from the Sessions, replaces the few tracks from the Sessions which sound absolutely horrible (Kyln Escape Stereo Mixes) with versions from the Score release, and replaces the few tracks which are actually more similar to the film versions with the Score release versions.
I also sorted out the tracks from the Sessions and Score release which weren't actually used in the movie, or are alternates, and put them at the end of this whole release.
I didn't include the "Mad Scene" from the Broker's place, because I couldn't find a flac version of it (I found a DVDR though), and I don't really care for it. I might include it in v2 if there's any interest. I did find a place where you can buy the specific track, but I don't exactly know which one, and you need a credit card for it, which I don't have.
Here's a screenshot of the Ableton project which has been created (and tortured) during this process, just to give you a brief overview of how much freakin' work this was:
Of course I didn't use the compressed-to-hell versions of the tracks from the first CD of the OST, but I spent half a day tracking down all the tracks from various sources on the internet. The entire collection is COMPLETELY and 100% lossless (unless the Sessions weren't). Even the few pieces I ripped from the film audio itself (the Marvel Logo from TWS, the end of "Come Get Your Love", the end of "I Want You Back", and of course the end credits) have been properly ripped with eac3to and the good ol' Arcsoft DTS Decoder from the DTS-HD MA 7.1 tracks.
The film versions of the OST tracks aren't exactly film versions at the intro and outro sometimes, because they end or start with the walkman being started, end with somebody being hit over the head with a vegetable or something. I also included Chris Pratt's voice in "Ooh Child" at the end. If you want me to add an alternate version without it, let me know.
Oh, and one more thing: A friend of mine and me created a stereo version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" similar to the one in the movie using the multitracks. The track itself is mono, as are each of the stems, but if you pan some right and some left it'll have a nice stereo effect (this principle has been used commonly in the past to create stereo versions of mono tracks).

Update!
v1.4.1 is out.
1.4.1: Final version for now. Until I get around to fix up the Mad Scene. Only thing changed is Ain't No Mountain High Enough: new master which sounds way better. OST version here: Thread 200336
1.4: Had this in the pipeline for a good long while (embarassingly long ... 09/2015 :P), still not 100% happy - 1.4.1 will soon follow, still working on something. Here's what's different in this one:
- Don't Mess With My Walkman moved to proper position
- Moonage Daydream now starts from the beginning (it gets split up in the movie, I just included it to the point where it fades out)
- Escape Song now sounds more like film version due to me actually using parts of the Album version this time around
To come in 1.4.1: Better sounding version of Ain't No Mountains. This will coincide with a release of the full versions of the Awesome Mix using the versions of the songs I used for this Complete Score.
1.3.1: -2db on Spirit in the Sky.
1.3: Changed "Logo" title to "Marvel Fanfare". Replaced Brian Tyler version with the Tyler Bates version from the movie by splicing the beginning and end of them. Added "Spirit In The Sky" used in Trailer #2, arrangement similar to version used in trailer.
1.2: Different outro for Hooked On A Feeling. Fixed tag title for 7m06ins. Fixed file names for tracks past the End Credits.
1.1: Includes fixed volume levels on most of the Awesome Mix tracks, and a new mix and master (done by a friend of mine) of Ain't No Mountain High enough. Should be final for now :)
