The score for The Last Starfighter was composed and conducted by Craig Safan and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. In 1984, a soundtrack album was released on LP by CD by Southern Cross Records.
The Southern Cross album includes two songs written for the movie by Safan and Mark Mueller. Two other songs written for the movie ("Satisfy The Night" from Karen Blake and Greg Prestopino and Clif Magness; "Red Eyes") remain unreleased.
In 1995 Intrada Records issued an expanded redition, with the tracks in chronological order and the complete end credits ("Into The Starscape").
In 2015 Intrada Records issued the complete, remastered edition.
