Last I looked, they're still selling
The Fury on Varese and that had the same number of copies as
Ghostbusters (and it's a much better score, to boot)

Eh, I don't know about all of that. He returned to work on
Ghostbusters 2 only to leave later, tired of working on comedy scores and movies that overemphasized songs over score. So instead of doing another paint-by-numbers sequel job - he went over to the UK and did a little score called
Slipstream that was far and beyond one of the best adventure scores of the 1980s - and that hasn't had an offical release either.
I'd like to think the boldness of that score is a retaliation against all the mickey mousing he had to do in the 80s with comedy films.

Sony/BMG are about to release a remastered version of the old album with two extra tracks.

Oof, that score is awful. I can understand why someone would want it - but it is largely incredibly awful.
