At the behest of our good man Stoo, I'd like to note one additional source of
Young Indy tuneage. Laurence Rosenthal, one of the show's primary composers (he wrote the theme, as well as scoring several episodes) issued a two-disc promo CD on his own label, Windmere Music, in 1995, presenting samples of his scores for various television projects, fittingly called
Music for Television; basic info can be found
here.
The second disc contains six tracks of music from
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, totaling 20 minutes and 24 seconds. The first three tracks all contain music already available on Vols. 1 and 4 of the commercial releases (though one of the tracks here, "The Fight in the Bakery / The Voice of Ireland," is a new edit combining the complete "Fight in the Bakery" from Vol. 4 with the first minute or so of "The Uprising," the track right after it).
The other three tracks are all of music available on CD only here, though, and present sweet if brief selections from: the "Russia" portion of
Young Indiana Jones: Travels With Father; "Prague, August 1917" (or
Espionage Escapades; and
Young Indiana Jones and the Hollywood Follies. None of these episodes are represented at all on any of the commercial releases, so having even the single cues from them here is wonderful, if one's into the show and its music, as I am. Unfortunately this disc is apparently out of print and appears to regularly go for upwards of $50 on the secondary market - but I got lucky and scored it for $24.99 plus shipping in an eBay auction, so hey, you never know! That's still a lot of money for just that little bit of extra music, of course, but aside from being about the best price I could hope for, the album
does have a lot of other good music from the composer's other, non-Indy work, and I'm enough of a fan of film scoring in general (and not just Indy scores, though obviously that's a primary area of interest for me) that I consider it more than worth it.

Actually, for a near-complete rundown of CDs with
Young Indy music, one should just check the listing for the series on that site
here you go. There are a few CDs listed there I was previously unaware of; I'm
really curious to know about both the Korean (!) CD
The Best Of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (does anyone have a tracklist for this? It's from Varèse Sarabande, so I
assume it has tracks from the four volumes, but I don't know) and the "Young Indy Satellite 1" maxi-single, which appears to be a
set of dance remixes of the theme (!!!):
- Young Indy (Radio Edit) (3:22)
- Young Indy (Dance Version) (6:34)
- Young Indy (Saxy Mix) (6:57)
- Young Indy (Instrumental Version) (3:21)
Of the other things, the Colosseum albums are just the European versions of the Varèse Sarabande albums; Colosseum is Varèse Sarabande's German sister / subsidiary label, as I understand it. The
Young Indy track on the Varèse Sarabande 25th Anniversary Celebration album is "An American Thanksgiving / A Chinese Adventure" from "Peking, March 1910," and also appears on Vol. 1 of their / Colosseum's series of albums from the show.
I don't know why Curt Sobel's promo of his "Transylvania, January 1918" score isn't listed; if I had to guess, I'd say it's because it's perhaps technically not a legal release, though since it's from the composer himself I'd think it's still not looked down upon by Lucasfilm, et. al. quite the same way they would a run-of-the-mill bootleg (but here, too, I don't know for sure).
