I had the first vinyl pressings of Theme from SWAT when it was on ABC/Dunhill records (home to artists like Three Dog Night). You must have gotten this when MCA records bought out ABC/Dunhill's catalog. I have this on a Rhino Records Billboard Top Hits 1975, but that version is a condensed version, not the full length 45 I had.

Original pressing or reissue? Trying to remember if MCA had switched to the light blue label from the mostly black by '75.

@mdatl38 No, it's a reissue. The other side is a cover of Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky).

@mdatl38 It was first released by ABC Records from when the label had rainbow coloring on it.

Too bad Rhythm Heritage didn't do a live performance of this tune; It would have rocked!

S.W.A.T. was cancelled after TWO seasons for seemingly being too violent.
