Oh sorry... Yes indeed. I have it on vinyl. Very nice tunage. That's not the full version though -- that's an edit -- the full version runs about 3-4 minutes long.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question (I haven't seen the series in years) but why did they always have two players against one? Wouldn't that be unfair?
