Official score album


In 2016, La-La Land Records issued a limited edition album featuring the complete film score composed by Harold Faltermeyer as well as several of the songs used. The label originally planned to release it as part of a 2-disc set with the expanded Beverly Hills Cop II soundtrack, but La-La Land Records was contractually obligated to issue each album separately.[7] In 2019, La-La Land Records released a 35th Anniversary Limited Edition album with the same tracks.[8]
