Is there such a thing as a Buckaroo Banzai soundtrack? I really enjoyed some of the music in that movie, especially the end title theme, and I'd love to get a copy. Please mail to me, don't post, if you have information. Thanks! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: G. T.

Thanks in advance... > > William Kucharski There is no such animal. Plans to release a soundtrack album fell through when Sherwood Productions asked too much for the rights. Director W.D. Richter said in the December 1984 STARLOG: It's a tragedy. Several record labels wanted it, but the powers that be kept upping the ante. We got a $150,000 advance on the table at one point. That's a very, very, fair and generous advance for a film that has no rock groups to promote. Then, it simply became too late . . . (p.21) Is it any wonder that Sherwood (now called Gladden Entertainment) plans to dump the entire concept of Buckaroo Banzai when rights revert to them later this year? *Sigh*. Hanoi Xan is everywhere . . . Now, it is possible that, with enough demand, such an album could be released (maybe through a label such as Varese Sarabande, who specializes in soundtrack albums).
