I recently bought the Karate Kid soundtrack box set from one of these sites (not sure if it was this one), amazing stuff
WANTED: ANY SNES or GAMEBOY GAMES, OR EMPTY BOXES, INSTRUCTION MANUALS or WHITE INNER TRAYS, going for FULL SETS of both.

It's a sign of modern times that nowadays when I think of He-Man, rather than thinking of the cartoon (complete with safety message at the end), toys or even the Dolph Lundgren movie, I wind up thinking of this...

I'd love a compilation of Shuki Levy's work on CD- Ulysses 31, He-Man, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Pole Position, M.A.S.K., Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, C.O.P.S., X-Men, Spiderman, Inspector Gadget, just to pick out some highlights.

Incidental music and other background music from cartoons is a nightmare to find. A lot of it seems only to have been released in France.
Imagine what havoc one could wreak with the background music for Scooby Doo.

You guys should be listening to the Retro Asylum podcast. We often do spoof versions of classic cartoon tunes... Our theme tune is a spoof of the Pole Position theme:

I had a He Man talking book. It was a comic book with a cassette. There was a weird BOING type noise to let you know when it was time to turn the page
Good times!

The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack was the first CD I ever bought!
I went and bought two others from a second-hand shop (Wonderstuff was one, and I don't actually remember the other) as my first CD player could take three discs at once!

'The Touch' was apparently written for Cobra but didn't make the cut for its soundtrack. Can't imagine seeing sly massacring crazy cultists to it somehow...

I always liked the Ulysses 31 soundtrack. Not just the title music but the prog rock synth score added a lot of atmosphere to the stories.
