SpaceCamp (soundtrack)

The soundtrack to SpaceCamp is a release of the film's musical score by John Williams, first released on 45 and LP in 1986, and reissued on CD in 1992 and again in 2010. Although originally released on LP in the United States in 1986 by RCA Victor, it was withdrawn from the market because of the film's unintentional similarities to the Challenger accident that had happened the same year. RCA Records' German LP release and Japanese 45 release were not likewise affected. A limited Japanese printing of 1000 CDs was re-released in 1992, and the Intrada Special Collection limited a CD printing to 3000 copies in 2010. Intrada Records released a 2-disk remastered and expanded soundtrack in May 2022, containing both the complete score from the film and the original soundtrack album.
