I manged to grab one for about £25 years back, so it had really shot up in price in the intervening period.

But when I checked later on I saw them going for that much on Amazon and eBay and the like. They're not selling for anything like that much now the digital version is so easily available.

Oh I see - yes the well priced digital release will keep those prices down. I remember I got mine in the Summer of 2002 from Amazon.com when it was released - that was a happy day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see on amazon.com the original Miami Vice soundtrack album released in the fall of 1985 has been rereleased in last few years on vinyl with slightly different artwork and cleaned up picture.

I wouldn't have thought that likely. Given that the CD was obviously pressed in quite limited numbers and digital is now the only real way to get it, I'd suspect they've decided there wouldn't be a big enough market for a vinyl release, if they ever even considered it at all. Probably the same reason we never got that Tim Truman release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the rock kid in me, but I'm actually a massive fan of his season 5 work. Really gave the show a darker, grittier feel. The three songs he penned were pretty great too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too -I loved his work on Season 5 it fitted the burnt out - rougher image of Season 5 and our heros. There was nothing light and fluffy about Season 5 - the show went full circle that’s why I respect it and always will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think quite low if the Cd of "The Complete Collection" didn't sell well. With a new Miami Vice series being made and rebooted next year - I wonder if JH and his manager have had a discussion about some of his Miami Vice work and a release of some kind?

I would also love a Tim Truman release and one can only dream at this point to have some sort of collaboration between him and JH to make some sort of album containing the score soundtracks of all five seasons, including more unreleased scores from the first four seasons from JH, to have the "Ultimate MV Collection".

I've been wondering the same thing. The Complete Collection releasing around the time of the movie was no coincidence. My biggest fear is he would release something previously unreleased with new instruments added (like on some of the CC tracks). I’m sure that’s great for some, or even most, but try and imagine how I feel about it and why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt we'll ever see a vinyl release. Jan's manager once told me that the "Complete Collection" was far from a financial success. Not for lack of popularity, but because it catered to a very small fan base. The project became even more difficult because the music is owned by Universal and to release these tracks Jan actually had to re-record many of them. You will notice that many of the tracks had subtle changes to them. This was necessary if they were to be released. So we really have to thank Jan for going above and beyond for his fans! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then what is he doing for? I mean I don't mind him experimenting with the tracks, but still he should make and release them the same way they were before, at least for us fans.

Matt5 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I read on wikipedia ( I know far from the gospel) that in a 2012 interview Jan Hammer stated he was working on an unreleased collection of music? It also states on wikipedia ( and this is correct, as Ive seen in multiple sources) than JH was not approached at all by Michael Mann when they did the big screen 2006 Miami Vice movie.

Leigh Burne Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) My real hope is someone like Intrada or La-La Land Records can convince Universal to give them the score music rights, as their soundtrack releases are never anything less than stellar and highly exhaustive. La-La Land in particular has a good track record with doing TV scores.

No, he wasn't. I imagine that might be whey he did that updated version of "Crockett's Theme" with TQ around the time the film was being made, as a kind of protest. It even used the same logo style for the song title on the artwork as the film did Edited April 30, 2018 by Leigh Burne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
