A note from Michael:

Regarding MOH, MOHU, MOHF and MOHAA soundtracks:

I have received many e-mails lately in regards to the availability of the first two MOH soundtracks Medal of Honor and Medal of Honor Underground. Unfortunately, for now, they are both completely out of print. At this time EA has no plans to re-press a new allotment of the CD's. The only place that you may be able to locate these CD's is perhaps on Ebay or some similar auction site.

As for the MOH Allied Assault soundtrack, there are no current plans for a CD release of this music. If this changes, I'll be sure to let you know.

And finally, for the MOHF CD, right now EA does not ship overseas, so it makes it difficult for someone to buy outside of the USA. We are looking into ways to remedy this. If a solution comes about, I'll let you know.

Thanks!

Michael G.
