MASADa original 2-cd album?

Does anybode know about the 2-CD set with music by Goldsmith and Stevens for the Masada TV-series.
This album is not on SoundtrackCollector.
Is it a (bad) bootleg?

It's a bootleg, though what I thought was surprising is that on the legitimate LP/CD the second half had kind of a "pinched", compressed and bright sound to it, but on the boot it sounds normal.

The CD is on e-bay right now, but as usual those kind af "albums" is at high price.
Thanks for the response.

The legit CD/LP is an album re-recording, and the boot is the actual film tracks, which is why they sound different. The orchestration is quite different in places.

Also, they forgot to apply noise reduction to side B of the LP, so it sounds a bit bright and hissy, and this carried over to the legit CD.
