DAY OF THE DEAD 2-CD Soundtrack Album Now Available

John Harrison has recorded some truly great music for George Romero’s films. My personal favorite is Creepshow (1982) and I hope that one day a full soundtrack release will finally come our way. In the meantime, his score to Mr. Romero’s 1985 film Day of the Dead zombie film has recently been released in the form of a new, 2-CD limited edition set. While the film has garnered its fair share of fans over the years since its release, the score initially put people off when they first heard it. I always loved it to begin with so this new album will appease those kindred spirits with the opportunity to hear it in it’s entirely. The pressing is limited to 3000 copies and, according to the press release, “features the film version of the score on Disc One, and the remastered original 1985 soundtrack cues on Disc Two.”
