Another pair of great stories for catalogue film score fans from around the way - another great sci-fi release from Intrada and a surprise expansion from La-La Land Records!

Intrada's first in a series of archival titles devoted to Stu Phillips' score for the original Battlestar Galactica television show, released earlier this year, was a considerable hit. Naturally, the label was ready to partner with Universal on more volumes, and the second was released Monday - a nice companion piece to the label's other great sci-fi soundtrack, Disney's The Black Hole. The second volume of BSG music features two full scores from the first season, presented in mono (as kept in the Universal vaults) across two discs. Act fast - this one is limited to 1,500 copies.

Another wildly exciting title was La-La Land's announcement yesterday for their release next Tuesday: an expanded, remastered edition of James Horner's score to Commando. The over-the-top action blockbuster, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as an ex-Marine/one-man-army in pursuit of his beloved daughter, features one of the most offbeat scores of Horner's career, relying heavily on steel drums and saxophones against pulsating rhythms. A limited, eight-track soundtrack CD, released by Varese Sarabande in 2003, was a quick sellout; this new release, limited to 3,000 copies, features the complete score on CD for the first time, alongside "We Fight for Love," the end-title theme written and performed by The Power Station. (The track, the only studio performance featuring touring frontman Michael Des Barres instead of Robert Palmer, was released on EMI's 20th anniversary expansion of the supergroup's debut album in 2005.)

Check out the track list for Intrada's title after the jump, and stay tuned next Tuesday for the full scoop on Commando!
