Release the Temple of Doom soundtrack on CD!

As if the review in this blog of the Crystal Skull movie wasn't a big enough clue, I'm a bit of an Indiana Jones fan. Regardless of my feelings on each individual film, one element of the entire movie series is always of the highest quality: the scores of John Williams.

Every Indy movie has a corresponding soundtrack on CD. Well, almost every movie does. The Temple of Doom soundtrack is noticeably absent. No CD has ever been released and no plans have ever been announced. I don't know why; the music is haunting, exciting, and perfectly captures the emotion of each scene. I challenge anyone not to get chills listening to the music from the scene where the human sacrifice takes place. The bug tunnel and spike room track is one of the most fun for me to listen; the only problem is that I have to have the movie playing to hear it. That's not a bad thing, I just would like to be able to listen in my car or at my computer while I do something else.

Let's start a campaign. Let's inform the powers that be to release the soundtrack on CD. I'd settle for a transfer of the original LP, but if we could get a Raiders treatment where the entire score is presented in chronological order would be even better.
