What's the status of Francis Monkman's propulsive score to The Long Good Friday? I've heard it is OOP. Did the original release contain the full score?

I like this one, and might just pull it off the shelf for tomorrow's drive to work. With the exception of the truly horrible reggae track, that is.

Isn't it Hoskins singing on that track?
I think the Silva CD is oop. Great cover too.
I think it's credited as Hoskins, but I've never really listened to it.
Mine's the Silva disc. Was there another release of it? I've a vague memory of it coming out again.

To celebrate 35th anniversary of the film, Silva Screen is remastering and
re-releasing the long deleted original score, to include selected dialogue.
One of the truly great British gangster thrillers, The Long Good Friday rated
as the 21st best British film of the 20th century in a BFI 1999 survey. The film,
a 1981 British gangster piece starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren, was
first shown in the UK at the London Film Festival in November 1980. Viewed
today, 35 years after its release the film remains like all classic films
completely timeless. With its two outstanding leads, compelling direction
by John Mackenzie and filmed against a background of London about to
undergo massive change, this is a cinematic milestone.
The score is written by Francis Monkman, best known for being member of
progressive rock band Curved Air and Sky. Monkman’s electronic synth
score features seminal members of Sky – Herbie Flowers (Guitar), Tristan Fry
(percussion) and Kevin Peek (guitar) as well as Ronnie Aspery and Stan
Sulzmann on Saxes and helps to ground the film in the early 1980s.
“Monkman’s score tightens the tension to the screaming point”

The Long Good Friday will be released on CD/Download on 27th of November 2015

Further to our previous announcement regarding the long awaited reissue of The Long Good Friday. Unfortunately the wait will be slightly longer as the release has been postponed until early next year. With other material coming to light in recent weeks the best option has been to improve the package even more. More details will posted here shortly.
