The original poster was asking about what your favorite 80s score releases are, which were not released in the 80s, but later. So Beverly Hills Cop and Tango & Cash are the only ones from your list.


No Mercy did get a score only release, and if its not complete, believe me, you don't want more.

I'm a bit confused by the question, because a lot of the scores being named did get a release in the 80s, just not complete.

Die Hard, The Monster Squad, Predator, The Rescue for starters.

The Silva Screen UK release of this ended up having to repeat the main title because they couldn't include Michael MacDonald's end credits song...

Yeah Predator, Commando and Die Hard were a pretty big deal for me when they finally got released. I cherish those.

I was glad Mancini rerecorded a theme from ace compilation Mancini In Surround: Mostly Monsters, Murders & Mysteries ("The first album I bought was a Henry Mancini album!" - The woman behind the counter at the Kilburn High Road charity shop I bought it at)
