While I was wandering about Costco I saw that they were also selling From the Earth to the Moon. I didn't notice if the Sam's Club version had this perk, but the Costco package comes with the so-called "soundtrack" which brags right on the front "12 Classic Rock Hits!"

HBO still doesn't get it. As Ted E. Peck says, "Let me make it baby simple..."

We don't want the rock songs. We can hear them on the radio. (Heck, I have "Sugar, Sugar" on a 45!)

We want the soundtrack. All the soundtrack, not just the title and credits music.

We want Mason Daring's "Spider" music: the "alien" motif and the "engineering" music and the astronaut's theme that recurs in "Galileo Was Right." We want the alternate version of Michael Kamen's theme from the end of "Can We Do This?" We want Mark Isham's trumpet theme from "We Have Cleared the Tower." We want the wonderful jazz soundtrack from "For Miles and Miles." We want Marc Shaiman's sweet little motif from "The Original Wives Club."

If we wanted classic rock music we could listen to the radio.

We want a REAL SOUNDTRACK.

Sheesh, guys, it's not rocket science! (yes, pun intended)

What you're looking for is the "score". We learned this when looking for the Men in Black "soundtrack". All we could find was the pop music version, not the one with the wonderful Danny Elfman music. Someone pointed this distinction out to Bill when he complained about it, and we went searching again. The "score" wasn't released until several months after the movie came out, but it did finally come out. Good luck finding the one you're looking for!

I know what you mean--I remember Forrest Gump also had two CDs, the album with all the pop songs and the album with the original music. However, From the Earth to the Moon only has the pop soundtrack CD. Many people have bitterly complained about it in a half dozen newsgroups.
