In 1994 those that pre-ordered Sonic the Hedgehog 3 from Toys "R" Us in the US received the exclusive music CD album Sonic the Hedgehog Boom. This album contained music from the US Sonic CD soundtrack and Sonic Spinball. However, the US Sonic CD music tracks weren't just straight copies of the music from the game. Many had extended intros, extra instruments and entirely unheard of sections. Unlike the Japanese soundtrack's beta loops, where we know how they were supposed to play, loop and the technical limitations that caused them to be removed, we know nothing about the extended bits from the Boom album or even if they meant to be used in the US soundtrack at all. For all we know they could have been created just for the album release. The only small clue that suggests the album tracks were going to be used in the US soundtrack comes from Stardust Speedway Bad Future, as the released version fades out right as a section exclusive to the album starts. Some of these exclusive parts from the album release were implemented into the 2011 Taxman release of the US soundtrack, but not all of it. As part of my Missing Music Restoration mod I've included as many of these exclusive album bits as I could as long as it didn't interfere with looping. Because we have no idea how the US album tracks were originally intended to be used my US restorations shouldn't be looked at as "official" like my JP restorations and instead as just another fun way to experience Sonic CD's US soundtrack.
Fun fact: According to the manuals the official name for the US soundtrack is "Special Edition for North America".
