| Q: | Hi, could you explain to me why this soundtrack CD has none of the songs I heard when watching the film? (from Alan in France) |
| A: | The record company releasing this soundtrack decided to license only the original score written by Rolfe Kent for their CD. It is much cheaper for them to make a CD with only original score. It's too bad there is no CD with the songs from this movie, but it costs lots of money to license songs and if a record company figures it can't make any money, they won't do it. (thanks to SadSoundtrackDude) add more info |
