These are bootleg soundtrack rips from those DVDs that as yet do not have legitimate soundtrack albums. These are mentioned in the discography simply because they do exist, people have asked about them, they are available on the internet, and as yet there are no legitimate soundtrack alternatives available.
[UPDATE: A soundtrack for The Shootist is now available from La-La Land Records. More information can be found in the entry for the great soundtrack]
While the quality is only so-so (with all of the background noise, cues, stilted dialog clips, etc.) on these discs, for some it is better than nothing. That being said, however, not only should it be noted that the soundtrack on the DVD is copyrighted, and ripping it as such – for any reason – is a violation of federal law, but there are enough individual recordings of songs and musical pieces from the film, that can be purchased legally.
As far as can be ascertained, there are at least six bootleg soundtrack discs available online. They are:
