Tour Of Duty DVD's

Recently i bought all three series of tour of duty on DVD which are fantastic seems i haven't seen the show since i was 6 years when i use to watch it with my dad, but one thing i was really disappointed about was all the music has been changed for one none of the episodes started with "paint it black" which was recognisable factor of the show and all the music during the shows had been changed like in the first episode which i have the original on VHS the end of the show finishes with bob Dylan's "all along the watchtower" and also in the first episode the animals "when i was young" wasn't played when they were in the helicopter for the first time. Just a bit disappointed that none of the original music has been put onto the episodes on the dads compared to the old series on television and also the tour of duty Cd's.
