Comment on Platoon - Theme

One of the real treasures on this compilation album is Track 01 - "Platoon - Theme" by Georges Delerue. It was never heard in the film.
Delerue's score was largely replaced when director Oliver Stone decided to go with Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" throughout most of the film (along with many pop songs of the era.) Barber's famous piece had been used as a temp track during the editing of the film.
Although you will notice a great similarity to "Adagio For Strings" in this theme, it is unmistakably written and conducted by the great Georges Delerue.
