Starring the unlikely duo of Eddie Murphy and Robert de Niro, Showtime was a 2002 action-comedy of 2 cops forced to team up for a reality show. Both actors managed to snag a Razzie nomination as the "worst screen couple of the year." MCA put out a soundtrack of pop vocals from the film, but none of the score. Sgt. Bilko was a 1996 comedy based on the classic 50’s TV show, this time with Steve Martin as the gambling con-artist having to fend off an old enemy out for revenge.
Both scores have appeared as individual releases, and together on another disc. The 44 tracks from the solo Showtime disc are exactly the same as on the combo disc. I did not hear any difference in audio quality.
The 2 Bilko’s are slightly different. 3 tracks on the combo disc do not appear on the solo Bilko disc (tracks 51, 55, 65). And track 50 on the combo disc is about a minute shorter than on the solo disc. Apart from an overall difference in volume, the other tracks are identical.
Showtime: 44 tracks with great stereo sound. No dialog or sfx.
Sgt. Bilko: 32 tracks with great stereo sound. No dialog or sfx.
Showtime & Sgt. Bilko combo: Showtime=44 tracks; Bilko=21 tracks (65 total). Great stereo sound. No dialog or sfx.
Tau and EAC indicated all tracks to be lossless.
Discs were ripped to FLAC using XLD.

The one I posted above has 32 tracks too. Do you think your version is different in some other way? If it is, share it with us!
Correct me if wrong, but I count 21 Bilko tracks on the art work you list. So, it is not the same version as you have listed. Mine is strictly Bilko score — no pairing, 32 tracks from the film.
Sorry lad, but I need to correct you: I posted TWO Bilko’s: one with 32 tracks, and the other coupled with Showtime at 21 tracks. You should see at the top a solo Showtime (44 trax), a solo Bilko (32 trax,) and the combo disc. The solo Bilko is probably the same that you have. Let me know if for some reason all 3 are not displaying at your end.
The middle art work isn’t show — if there is one.
There’s the top, which is art for "Showtime" only, a red X box in the middle, and then art for "Showtime"/"Sgt. Bilko"[/b].
Do you need a tracklist for the 32 track Bilko? I went through the film myself, named the cues, noted where they were alternates or contained un-used score or were not even used.
(coincidently, the 32 track is still not the complete score, though its most of it)
I love Alan Silvestri’s music!
Thank you, Yepsa.
Millions of thanks.
