It was such an integral part of the film and few of us who were fans of the film back then DIDN'T think of the song when we thought of the movie. So I can understand why they put it on the soundtrack twice -- back in the LP day, it was nice to have easy access to the biggest piece of music on the soundtrack. Now we can make our playlists or burn our CD-Rs and repeat cues to our hearts' content, so there's no need to repeat it on, say, the CD.

Which brings me to my original question – why does it appear twice on the album? They could have included the magnificent finale track when Zack Mayo (Richard Gere’s Character) goes to the factory and swoops Paula Pokrifki (Debra Winger’s Character) off her feet – literally! (One of the best scenes in cinema!) This is another example of an 80s score that needs to be rescued – and there is not one thread found about it here! A very underrated Jack Nitzsche score – his second best in my opinion: (The “other” score also needs a proper expansion). Thanks for posting this, Reeve. Big fan of Nitzsche, this score, and the film it accompanies. Agreed, that not having the music from the factory finale is a big miss, as is the omission of the "obstacle course" music--both the disco-style instrumentation, as well as the rousing variation of the main theme heard as Seeger finally makes it over the wall.

Damn! How could I have forgotten about the wall scene? A great scene with great music! Yes, a score album would be most welcomed. One of those scenes, where I'll load up the disc specifically just to watch--and listen to--it by itself.
