The Music of Tour Of Duty
The original soundtrack to the show was never released and what has been released around the world is a mixture of songs from the show and songs from the era , here you can find out about the various releases.
Around the world there have been different releases of Tour Of
Duty LP's , CD's and 7inch singles.
The following section shows some that I have been able to track down.
Rather than being original 'soundtracks' from the show they are collections of
songs from the time/era depicted in the show, released under the banner of Tour
Of Duty.
You can also find some tracks from the original series on the CD's/LP's &
cassettes mixed in with other classic tracks.
