There were quite a few albums where Goldsmith did specific album arrangements or made recordings just for the album. Apart from the ones mentioned stuff like HOUR OF THE GUN, CAPRICORN ONE, FIERCE CREATURES, UNDER FIRE, The FLYNN movies, and many more.

Yes. Still Goldsmith’s special arrangements rather went into a pop direction. And Williams more into a classical direction. And that is then my personal taste. I dived into movie scores as kind of a subgenre of classical music and therefore have a preference for more classical scores. And you are right. Especially in his earlier days Goldsmith used to deliver there wonderful works. My favourite scores of his are then also the more traditional ones like Studds Lonigan, Hour of the Gun, Rios Conchios, Black Patch and from his later scores ones like L.A. Confidential, The Final Conflict, but also Legend, The Mummy and Alien. But when he was asked to “do the Williams” like in Star Trek (after Star Wars) or Supergirl (after Superman) or Quartermain (after Indiana Jones) I find his score MUCH less good and interesting than Williams’ originals.
