Numerous cues from the film were missing from the soundtrack's initial LP issue due to the inherent length limitations of a single LP (approximately forty minutes). After the release of an extended Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack album in 1995, there was some hope of a more complete release of the Temple of Doom score. This was eventually realized in November 2008 by the Concord Music Group as part of a five-CD boxed set that also included the soundtracks for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Silva released a new version of Williams' Indiana Jones music entitled "The Indiana Jones Trilogy"^[1] on January 21, 2003. It features various cues from the entire trilogy, with five from The Temple of Doom. However, although they use the original manuscripts, this is a re-recording performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Helen Hobson provides both the Cantonese and English lyrics for "Anything Goes" in these recordings.

The soundtrack to Temple of Doom was re-released on CD in November 2008 with expanded and remastered versions of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. The set includes material never before issued from the original albums.^[2]

1. "Anything Goes Playoff"
2. "A Tribute to Vernon"
3. "Once in a Vial (Dance Orchestra)"
4. "The Indian Village"
5. "The Old Priest's Tale"
6. "The Child Returns"

12. "Moloram's Speech"
