Expanded ‘Ladyhawke’ Soundtrack Released

The original pop soundtrack is somewhat universally considered a misfire. Those who love the film have been requesting for decades that the copyright holders remaster the film with a totally new more appropriate non-pop soundtrack that doesn’t alienate people from the film’s otherwise massive appeal.
The music in the movie is fine just as it is. I am tired of hearing people put it down online. Yes, it is different from many soundtracks, but that is part of the movies appeal. I have purchased and love the 2CD expanded release of the soundtrack. I hope they never change the soundtrack, and release a better print of the film on DVD.
