The original 1986 Arista and 1990 Varèse Sarabande albums are both
out of print and difficult to obtain, however they are virtually identical in content.
The only difference is that the Varèse album includes the horrible disco
version of the theme (it appears at the end and makes up the entire
total-time difference between the two).
The 1989 RCA Gerhardt album is available used for about $5 to $7. The 1997 Lacombe release
with very poor sound quality is a bootleg despite the fact that it claims to be a promo. The
1998 Arista release with 20-bit digital mastering is called a "Collector's Edition." The
first 50,000 copies feature chromium-printed packaging with the insert notes glued to the back
of the front cover. That album is now also out of print and has fetched as much as $50
