THEY WON'T STAY DEAD! Music from the Soundtrack of NIGHT of the LIVING DEAD

[DubiousComforts]

Nobody here will probably care about this since it has nothing to do with stockpiling firearms, but what the hey... Featuring all-new digitally restored audio, this is the most comprehensive music score ever released in any format for George A. Romero's modern horror classic. Available on May 4, 2010. Amazon link here (additional vendor links coming soon).

Interesting, so this is to Night what the Dawn of the Dead Incidental Music album was to Dawn, right? By that, I mean someone spent months/years trawling through DeWolfe archives listening to every track from the era to find the ones used in the film? That's pretty cool. The Night soundtrack is, for some reason, not as iconic as Dawn's, for me, but it would still be an awesome thing to have.

Finally the ultimate soundtrack for this film... .

Ah, music to clean gunz to!

[ProfessorChaos]

By that, I mean someone spent months/years trawling through DeWolfe archives listening to every track from the era to find the ones used in the film? That's pretty cool.. Close, but not quite. This NIGHT CD features all of the library music used in the film except for one partial cue that has never been found. The DAWN CD features about 50% of the library music used in that film. Secondly, there were no archives to trawl through because Capitol Hi-Q no longer exists. It took about 2-1/2 years to research which cues were used in the film, locate the rights holders, find suitable LPs and tape reels containing the cues and restore all the audio. There was no single music company that was able to supply CD-quality masters (don't I wish!) that price looks a bit steep, but given how much of a fan i am of the film, i imagine i'll order it. That's Amazon not providing a discounted price. You'll be able to order it cheaper at www.LivingDeadDocumentary.com. Ah, music to clean gunz to! This much is true considering that there is actually a "gun finding" cue in the film. Dammit, why didn't I think to market it that way?!

I can't wait to get me a copy. Great work as always, Jim!

Awesome, it is about time that this get out on CD. I can't wait to hear the additional tracks.

[Yojimbo]

Awesome, Jim! This one is going on my must have list - Honestly, I will brown bag my lunch & eat peanut butter smeared on a playing card for however long it takes to save up the cash to get this - even though it has little to do with firearms. In fact I would gladly sell one of my weapons to purchase this! Thanks brother dubious!

May 4th and you're saying the price will be cheaper than the Amazon at www.LivingDeadDocumentary.com? Sounds good to me. Any chance we can get an idea on how long it took to pull this all together? Certainly seems like a labor of love.

I need to get one of those for a competition prize!!

May 4th and you're saying the price will be cheaper than the Amazon at www.LivingDeadDocumentary.com? Sounds good to me. It will be a cheaper price on the Autopsy of the Dead site, but it has been listed for $23.99 on Amazon from time to time (which falls under the free shipping minimum, though). I wish they could pick one price and stick with it. Any chance we can get an idea on how long it took to pull this all together? Certainly seems like a labor of love. 2½ to 3 years in the making. If all goes well with this CD, there will be future releases of Romero library music goodness.

that price looks a bit steep, but given how much of a fan i am of the film, i imagine i'll order it. Whoa! You're not kidding. Reading the other posts, I'll be watching for a discount.

[DubiousComforts]

Jim reeled me off a few samples not long after finishing Autopsy, and I gotta say the tracks that I heard were nice and crisp. Restoration is what it's all about. I'm sick of all the crappy, noisy, hissy audio circulating on the Net. No pops, clicks or crackle allowed here. Whoa! You're not kidding. Reading the other posts, I'll be watching for a discount. The price will be $24.99 including first-class shipping on www.AutopsyoftheDead.com.

This NIGHT CD features all of the library music used in the film except for one partial cue that has never been found. Thank you for releasing this soundtrack, I cannot wait to get it. May I ask which cue was not located? Also, will the Karl Hardman electronic tracks be featured as they were originally recorded , or sampled from the film like the Varese LP was, or appear at all? EDIT: Just saw the track listing on the Amazon link, I'm guessing the non-coded tracks are the non-library stuff. 1. Eerie Heavy Echo (L-1204) 2. Night Suspense (JB-33) 3. Heavy Agitato (TC 416) 4. Light Suspense (JB-37) 5. Fateful Fire (TC 151) 6. Dreary Danger (TC 157) 7. Weird Eerie (ZR-87C) 8. Small Disaster (TC 130) 9. Reserved Disaster (TC 127) 10. Space Drama 11. Black Night (TC 155) 12.
