Here's the official press release for The Goonies score on vinyl:
From the imagination of Steven Spielberg and propelled by David Grusin's score, Goonies plunges a band of small heroes into a swashbuckling surprise-around-every corner quest beyond their wildest dreams! Following a mysterious treasure map into a spectacular underground realm of twisting passages, outrageous booby-traps and a long-lost pirate ship full of golden doubloons, the kids race to stay one step ahead of a family of bumbling bad guys...and a mild- mannered monster with a face only a mother could love.
