Due to limited marketing, the film was not a big hit at the box office. Because of this, no soundtrack album was released at the time. However, in 2018, after 33 years of requests - a third of a century - a limited special edition soundtrack CD was released. It contained 18 tracks plus a 20-page booklet.
