RoboCop 1 OST (Original) - Robo Tips His Hat?

Earlier this year, I bought the special edition RoboCop 1 soundtrack,
but the track "Robo Tips His Hat" is missing.

Could someone who owns the original release CD tell me where this track is heard in the film and/or which of the themes
(if any) it contains i.e. the RoboCop theme?

I would appreciate knowing this, as I am considering obtaining the original release purely for the missing track.

Also, let me know if the original release CD contains notable faults/clicks as a result of production.

Thanks very much!

I believe this cue is used for when RoboCop has his nightmare of Murphy's murder, going to the police station database and discovering his real identity and then his trip to his his old, empty house.

Perhaps the track Care Package (02:09) is the same as Robo Tips His Hat? It is not on the old release and the track titles are close enough to be the same music. Can anyone confirm?

mcmahan is right, see this link,
http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/robocop.html
somewhere in the user comments it is stated that
"Robo tips his had" was retitled as "Care Package"

The back label of the Varese Sarabande edition puts "Robo Tips His Hat" at 2:00, but the counter on my CD player says it's 3:12.

From Filmtracks:

" Its odd that on the original CD, track 14 ended up containing both "Direcive IV" and "Robo Tips His Hat" (retitled "Care Package" on the re-release). Which means "Robo Tips His Hat" erroneously appears twice on the album. A lot of the track lengths were also listed wrong on the original album.

One of the reasons I picked up the new album (I also have the old one) was because of the errors on the old one that were corrected on the new one. As a side note to that, the sound quality on the re-release is far superior to the original album."

macmahan picked up the right answer, but there is more... the original album presented twice the same cue but not the same interpretation. The performance on the second "Robo Tips His Hat" was perfect but unfortunately Varèse remastered for the rerelease the performance (first appearance of the cue on the first album) that contains wrongs notes on the strings (but can be considered as an "atonal" string line...).

I really appreciate these detailed responses to questions, people. Thanks very much.
I think I may get the original release at some point for completeness while I still can, but at least now I know I'm not missing an essential track.

Thanks again.
