Columbia released the soundtrack October 20, 1987, with the record number SC 40870.

It was recorded on August 26 and 27, 1986 in London.

The three Bob Dylan songs have never been released on any other commercial project or album by Dylan, making this record a sought-after purchase for some collectors.

"The Usual" is a John Hiatt cover.

An alternate mix of the latter appeared on his 1988 album, Down in the Groove.
