This is pure nostalgia!

I had those too, but if I recall correctly some or almost all versions were remakes - not the original versions.

Yeah, I had tape versions. I've also got this really cheesy 80's tape of "Space Themes", Disco Star Wars anyone?

You're right, remakes! But there are some very good remakes too. I had one or two of them on tape. Loved them.

The one that I have as I remember were horrible almost General Midi type remakes. They dont do any justice to Vangelis.

No you're right but for me they served as an introduction to that kind of music. It was also the first time I heard Ravel's Bolero. Since then I learned to appreciate the real version instead. (I guess I was about 10 years old at that time).
