Forget it. I just found a track listing for a Nick at Nite/Sony CD. Apparently, it's the same thing, and contains dialogue.

I remember when it was going for under a few bucks....sucks it's so hard to get now, as I agree (as I have on every thread mentioning it) that it's a great disc.
I just keep hoping that one day someone will release the original tracks on CD. My frustration is only compounded by the mention in the notes of the Newman/Telarc CD about acetates of the original scoring sessions that they listened to for reference.
