Yes, someone has finally hauled the music tapes for this classic 80s cartoon series out of the vaults and given them a deluxe 2-CD release.
I love this music. Shuki Levy composed the score - as he did for other 80s cartoons like Inspector Gadget and the Mysterious Cities of Gold. I haven't stopped playing it since it arrived in the post.
A 20 minute CD was released some years ago but this new release has over 2 hours of classic He-Man music to enjoy. I had long since given up hope of any 80s cartoon soundtracks being released so it's fantastic to see that era getting some attention!
La La Land Records in the US have released this set. I've purchased plenty of their CDs and I can highly recommend them (The Untouchables, Clue, and Innerspace to name but a few). You can buy the set at their site below. Apparently there are about 500 copies left from a 3000 print run.

Lovely cover too:

In the 80s, some short albums of cartoon series were released on vinyl in France including He-Man and The Mysterious Cities of Gold. They were re-released a few years back and sold out quickly. So it's great to see La La Land Records giving He-Man the deluxe treatment, 130 minutes worth!
Shuki Levy did the music for She-Ra and Inspector Gadget amongst others so maybe we'll see new CDs for those series as well.
You'd be surprised.
I've got a few film soundtracks on my shelf that I've listened to once or twice and not listened to since. Can't really enjoy the music on its own.
But if the music *is* enjoyable on its own, or you've watched the TV show/film so often that the music is engrained into your brain - the James Bond soundtracks being a good example - then you can enjoy repeated listenings.
2500 copies of this have already been sold so it's definitely got a market. A niche market, yes, but that's still pretty good!
Want a copy myself now
I'm not from La La Land Records. Sales of this CD will determine whether or not they pursue further releases of 80s cartoons, which I want, so I am doing my damndest to let people know this soundtrack is out there
You are getting over two hours of music to enjoy not to mention detailed liner notes. It is well worth it!
No need to reply!
I should have put *bump*!
Well thats me sold.
Or not lol !
Just having a look now, thanks!
"Its been doing very well. We hope to be doing more Eternia projects in the future."
Great news, and along with their recent Mission: Impossible and Lost In Space soundtrack box sets, it gives real hope for a lot more TV stuff
