Also, Quartet have been known to put out some great unreleased scores, I welcome you to their catalogue to discover these gems:
http://www.quartetrecords.com/
Francis, I do visit their website regularly and have enjoyed many of their releases. On their main release webpage, I own 8 of the 12 pictured. I am just disappointed that they had to re-release something instead of releasing a new score.
There are a few FACTS that I need to be pointed out.
a.) INTRADA Issued this titled for the for the first time in late July 2008, this new title will be coming out 5 YEARS AFTER IT HAD SOLD OUT ALREADY!!!!
b.) INTRADA only did a 1500 Unit release that sold out quite quickly (within a a week or so as I recall)
c.) copies of this release have been selling for around a $119.00 or higher on Amazon as of today.
d.) This new release 2-CD release is going out at about for a vastly less about and given the label's track record it will more then likely sound as good if not better then the INTRADA release.
Given the current market, I think they will stand a very good chance of selling their thousand unit run very shortly.
So on a business level, reissuing this title makes a lot of sense because there is a market for it that goes well beyond soundtrack geeks.
So tp recap, this label is reissuing a soundtrack that sold out quickly 5 years ago and has been selling for big bucks in the secondary markets.
If you have the INTRADA release and don't feel like picking this up, that's fine...
Bitching about them reissuing it given these facts MAKES NO SENSE WHATEVER.
Get a life.

Thanks Ford for the link and I agree. This reissue is much welcomed. I haven't heard it, but I imagine a strong patriotic type action score? I'm gonna surprise myself with this one.
Edit: NVM, listening to the samples this score sounds different than I expected, still picking it up.

It's very 80's, I love that disco heroic theme.
If you want to hear samples, INTRADA still has their page up for it.

I had the original release of this, paired with King Solomon's Mines.
In order to have the Goldsmith, I had to suffer seeing Delta Force sharing the cover.
The Delta Force music was very horrible and I was delighted to get it off my shelf and sling it in the bin when King Solomon's Mines subsequently received a solo release.
The problem with this specific release is that it sounds AWFUL!!!
I have no idea what they used as a master, but as I recall it was one o the worst sounding CDS I've ever heard in my life.
