This game was developed before Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge-- in fact, the song was originally made for this game and then reused in that one.

Interesting. That's not what the release dates suggest. Do you have a source?

Quoting the VGMPF article of Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge:

"One interesting thing to note is the Ranking track was actually from a previous game Neil worked on, James Bond Jr. (NES). Neil explained that this was due to various reasons; he couldn't think of another track to write, was pressed for time, as well as he was not being paid well for his work on the game."

Thanks for the pointer

Neil Baldwin was a great chiptune composer on par Tim Follin, yet it's rare for an artist to also be the founder of a subcontracting studio like Eurocom (which happened to be quite sollicitated by Virgin, Disney, etc).
