tour of duty (thing)

The soundtrack to the Tour Of Duty television series was released by CBS as 4 different compilation albums during 1988 and 1989 when the show was still being aired. Even in today's saturated market of soundtracks for everything under the sun, 4 CDs seems a lot for one show. However, all four album covers state quite honestly: "Songs from the television soundtrack and the era". Consequently, the T.O.D. soundtrack series is a decent collection of tracks from the late 1960s, and was released almost a decade before the Forrest Gump soundtrack pulled a similar stunt.
