"Beach Theme" and "Beach Scene" are two different mixes of the same piece. The album version of "Dr. Destructo" is quite different from the film version.[3] An extended version of "Dr. Destructo" was available only on a promo single. "Igneous" is a remix of "Thru Metamorphic Rocks" from the 1979 album Force Majeure. Neither "Beach Theme" nor "Trap Feeling" appear in the film.

After Tangerine Dream completed the soundtrack, Mann needed another sequence. As Tangerine Dream was on tour, Craig Safan composed and performed "Confrontation". The original 1981 Elektra LP released in the U.S. featured "Confrontation", but subsequent releases featured "Beach Scene" instead.[citation needed]

During the 1980s, Toronto television station CITY-DT used "Scrap Yard" as their background music when inserting technical difficulties slide cards. Scrap Yard was also used as theme for local television newscasts on KFTY (now KEMO-TV) in Santa Rosa, California and WNDU in South Bend, Indiana.

The soundtrack was also nominated for Worst Musical Score at the 2nd Golden Raspberry Awards.


Versions


There are currently two versions of the soundtrack available with different track listings and album covers. Version A has the text 'Original Motion Picture Soundtrack' above the title followed by the text 'James Caan' just below. The text 'Composed and Performed by Tangerine Dream', appears at the bottom. Version B just has "Tangerine Dream" above the title.[4][5]

In 2004, Wounded Bird Records re-released version B with "Confrontation"; there were however two mispressings, one with the version A track list, and one with "Igneous" removed instead of "Beach Scene". All had the listing for version B on the CD and cover.[citation needed]

In 2014, Perseverance Records released a re-mastered, nine track version that included both "Beach Scene" and "Confrontation", thus correcting the errors on previous releases where both tracks were never on the same disc.
