"Unicorn Theme" has been played live at several concerts in various versions. It was originally recorded with vocals by Susanne Pawlitzki based on William Blake's poem "The Angel," but was rejected in favor of the Jon Anderson version.
The vocals were added after Tangerine Dream had composed the instrumental music. "Loved by the Sun" is a vocal version of "Unicorn Theme" with lyrics written and sung by Jon Anderson of Yes. Many of the bootleg editions feature around twice as many songs as the original soundtrack, including those that were omitted from the original, such as the opening "Prologue". Several bootleg versions of the album exist, and vary in cover artwork to track listing as well as song length and titles. Until 2002, only European audiences could see Legend with Goldsmith's score. Tangerine Dream was contracted to complete a new, more contemporary score-a job they completed in three weeks. Sidney Sheinberg, president of MCA (the parent company of Universal at the time), felt that the Goldsmith score would not appeal to the youth and pressed Scott for a new score. After a disappointing test screening with Jerry Goldsmith's original orchestral score, Scott decided to make changes to the film.
