Since we are working on the new incarnation of T-Cats it's only logical that we are looking into the original. Keep your fingers crossed.

LLL's recent(ish) release of the new Thundercats caught be a bit by surprise. Not least because I had no idea there was a new Thundercats, but also by how great the music was for it.
I do have fond memories of watching the original, although I have no memory of the music from it.

A release of the original Thundercats score would be wonderful... but... I'm doubtful it will happen. We very rarely get scores from 1980s cartoon series. We were lucky to get LLL's release of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. They jumped through the rights hoops and searched long and hard for the tapes, and were successful in both endeavours. Lots of people asked for a CD. The score was released in early 2015... but still hasn't sold out. I tried to spread the word on social media but to little effect. When releases don't sell out after a long time, it doesn't encourage the labels to do new releases, and when the scores are so hard to licence/find in the first place, why bother? That's not a dig at LLL, who did a good job with He-Man - it's just down to a lack of customer demand.
LLL's comedy scores are known not to be big sellers and I fear 80s animated TV scores will fall into the same bracket. I see lots of requests on music forums for the likes of Transformers and Duck Tales - but will the sales match the apparent support for such releases? I'm no longer convinced.
There are plenty of candidates for a CD release. Chip N Dale, Inspector Gadget, Gummi Bears, MASK, The Raccoons, The Real Ghostbusters, Bucky O'Hare, Belle and Sebastian, Talespin, Tiny Toons... I'd buy all these titles. Heck, I've even got eight CDs of The Mysterious Cities of Gold on my shelf (all French CDs from the 1990s - a rare treat!), and I'd buy more. I'll buy the new Ulysses 31 release later this year, too. Fans of those two series have been very lucky, but the majority of cartoon 80s scores remain woefully underrepresented.
I'd also love to see She-Ra get the same treatment that LLL gave He-Man. The music is arguably better, but I just can't see it getting a release. Same for all those titles I listed above.
These CDs need to sell out to encourage LLL to continue in that vein. So if anyone hasn't bought He-Man yet, please do so!

well, we don't have to worry about finding them since the score exists and it's "out there" in a form.
I think the composer himself had the mastertapes or something and gave them to someone when he/she asked them.
the tracks were there in youtube, but i see the channel has closed due to copyrights.
