A more sweet version of G.I.Joe and Transformers. Never heard of this one before, but it is recommended for the Spider-man and Dungeons & Dragons fans!
I remember this being mentioned by Douglas's daughter during her interview on a recent episode of Cinematic Sound Radio podcast, and how it was sort of a surprise to find it, as no one really was looking for it. I pretty much have enjoyed any and all of Douglas's music for 80's animated series so I will probably check this out. Part of me is also hoping that his daughter would be able to release "Uncut" versions of both Transformers and GI Joe, as done for The Incredible Hulk and Spider-man. I don't mind taking the time and doing the work to edit out studio chatter and repeated performances of certain cues if I can get all the library cues for both shows.
Oh wow, I had no idea that there would so much music released from the most obscure title in Douglas's cartoon library - 77 minutes! It's all new to me, so I'm looking forward to checking it out. It still makes me wish there had been 77 minute album releases for the Transformers and GI Joe score cues.

I asked her about G.I. JOE on Facebook around the time she released D&D, and she said she had not come across it among her grandfather’s tapes. But I hold out hope! It’s quite possibly my number one most wanted complete score at this point. And Hasbro’s release sounds great, but it’s missing several of Douglas’s best cues!
In the meantime, can’t wait to listen to Pandamonium. I’d never heard of it before today!

Robert J Walsh mentioned, a long time ago, he still had everything from G.I.Joe and Transformers and it was all newly mastered. It was supposed to come out as various volumes and would have contained dialogue as well.

So, if this is all true, the music is not lost.
Oh yes, Walsh definitely had all of it. Prior to his death, he assembled the albums Hasbro eventually released for Joe and Transformers. I’m just concerned that Hasbro either doesn’t realize that there’s other music out there beyond what Walsh pre-packaged for them, or doesn’t care and views the released albums as “good enough.”
Any music still containing dialogue, would mean music stems.
I’m pretty sure Walsh had master tapes. He just had a really weird strategy for releasing the music. He talked about putting it out on Blu-Ray audio discs with snippets of dialogue. Then he was later convinced by a fan that he should do them on vinyl instead.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't that much dialogue that Walsh wanted to include in the set but interviews with various people who worked on the shows.
