The Return of the Saint Soundtrack on CD

While not technically the soundtrack just to The Return of the Saint, there is a collection of the greatest music from a number of ITC television series, The Music of ITC. There are 133 different tracks on 2 CD audio discs (158 mins), and beautifully illustrated booklet with liner sleeve notes. Disc 1 features Edwin Astley's music from the original Saint TV show, starring Roger Moore on tracks 23 to 31. The Edwin Astley songs have been on CD before; the real news is the songs from The Return of The Saint, starring Ian Ogilvy! Those have not been on CD before, and they appear on the second disc as tracks 45 through 52!
