(Finished July 24th, 2018) As Close As I Can: Pink Floyd's "The Wall" Actual Soundtrack (Results May Vary)

Hello,

We all know that one of Pink Floyd's most iconic albums is "The Wall", truly a classic CD. A few years later it was released as a movie with Bob Geldof portraying Pink. Yes, they made a soundtrack for the movie that's different from Pink Floyd's original CD. Got that? So thanks to Blazefirebootlegs these are as close as I can to listen to the songs from "The Wall's" actual soundtrack, not the original CD. From my research it seems there was no official release of the actual soundtrack. In other words I'm doing the best I can. This is me figuring out what the Top 12ish Greatest 80s Soundtracks will be. I expect this will be in my Top 12, but I don't know for sure. (Thanks to wikipedia.org for the info, although I have found other sources that disagree with some of what wikipedia states.

SongChanges
"When the Tigers Broke Free" 1New song, edited into two sections strictly for the film, but later released as one continuous song.[30] The song was released as a single in 1982 and was later included on the 2001 compilation Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd and on the 2004 re-release of The Final Cut.
"In the Flesh?"Extended/re-mixed/lead vocal re-recorded by Geldof.[30]
"The Thin Ice"Extended/re-mixed[30] with additional piano overdub in second verse, baby sounds removed.
"Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1"Extra bass parts, which were muted on the album mix, can be heard.
"When the Tigers Broke Free" 2New song.[30]
"Goodbye Blue Sky"Re-mixed.[30]
"The Happiest Days of Our Lives"Re-mixed. Helicopter sounds dropped, teacher's lines re-recorded by Alex McAvoy.[30]
"Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2"Re-mixed[30] with extra lead guitar, children's chorus part edited and shortened, teacher's lines re-recorded by McAvoy and interspersed within children's chorus portion.
"Mother"Re-recorded completely with exception of guitar solo and its backing track. The lyric "Is it just a waste of time?" is replaced with "Mother, am I really dying?", which is what appeared on the original LP lyric sheet.[30]
"What Shall We Do Now?"A full-length song which begins with the music of, and a similar lyric to "Empty Spaces". This was intended to be on the original album, and in fact appears on the original LP lyric sheet. At the last minute, it was dropped in favour of the shorter "Empty Spaces" (which was originally intended as a reprise of "What Shall We Do Now"). A live version is on the album Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980–81.[30]
"Young Lust"Screams added and phone call part removed. The phone call part was moved to the beginning of "What Shall We Do Now?"

"Is There Anybody Out There?"Classical guitar re-recorded, this time played with a leather pick by guitarist Tim Renwick[31], as opposed to the album version, which was played finger-style by Joe DiBlasi.

Geldof sings the lyrics to the melody of "Your Possible Pasts", a song intended for The Wall that later appeared on The Final Cut.
