Hey gang
I purposely put this here instead of the 'Music' board because there`s more chance of horror fans seeing it here.
Anyways, for no particular reason, I thought I`d list some obscure genre soundtracks I own.
If anyone wants a copy of something (because most of them are hard to find/out-of-print), I`ll see what I can do.
Most of them are horror, a few are not.
-"Gremlins" (cassette)
Side A is pop songs (Michael Sembello, Peter Gabriel) Side B is some of the Jerry Goldsmith score (but not all of it, dammit!)
I think there was another soundtrack that was all score.
-"Gremlins 2: The New Batch" (cassette)
All score.
-"Friday the 13th, Part 3" (and other stuff) (cassette - dubbed copy)
Side A has the "Friday 3" soundtrack. Aside from the infamous 'disco theme', it`s almost unbearable to listen to by itself.
Side B has cuts from various cult movies, including "Creepshow", "The Evil Dead", "Forbidden Zone" (old Oingo Boingo song!), "Brainstorm", "Videodrone", and an old "Twilight Zone" episode (the one with the mini-astronauts raiding the lady`s house).
-"Phantasm/Phantasm II" (dubbed CD)
The whole score to Part 1 (awesome!), and four tracks from Part 2.
-"Suspiria" (CD)
This came with the special edition DVD. Pretty good, but a lot of the music wasn`t even in the movie! Also, no track listing.
-"Poltergiest" (vinyl)
-"Poltergeist II: The Other Side" (dubbed cassette)
-"Return To Oz" (CD)
All score, and EXELLENT.
-"Howard The Duck" (vinyl)
Side A is Thomas Dolby songs, and songs by Lea Thompson`s band 'Cherry Bomb' from the movie.
Side B is the John Barry score (not all of it), which is strikingly similar to his Oscar-winning "Dances With Wolves" score (I shit you not!)
-"The Goonies" (vinyl)
All 80`s pop tunes, mostly all forgettable, except of course for the timeless Cyndi Lauper theme song! There is exactly ONE score track at the very end, and it`s not the same as in the movie.
-"Popeye: The Movie" (vinyl)
That`s right, the Robin Williams/Shelly Duvall musical!
For anyone who cares, the songs are not the same as in the movie (they sound more 'polished') and there`s one song NOT in the movie.
I`m sure there`s more, I`ll post if I remember them.
Anyone else out there got any obscure soundtracks?
And finally, does anyone know how to get these two:
-"The Goonies" score by Dave Grusin. It was never officially released (dammit!), but I know a promo bootleg is out there somewhere.
-The original "Heavy Metal" score by Elmer Bernstein. It was officially released when the movie was released (1981?), but it`s looong out-of-print.
