The score for The Last Starfighter was composed and conducted by Craig Safan. In 1984, a soundtrack album was released on LP by CD by Southern Cross Records.[1]

The Southern Cross album includes two songs written for the movie by Safan and Mark Mueller. Two other songs written for the movie ("Satisfy The Night" from Karen Blake and Greg Prestopino and Clif Magness; "Red Eyes") remain unreleased.
