Ron Grainer OST The Omega Man

Limited Edition for Record Store Day 2018

Original 1971 Soundtrack - First Ever Vinyl Pressing | - Heavy Duty "paper over board"
Gatefold Sleeve Charlton Heston starred in director Boris Sagal's 1971
adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, "I Am Legend" as the survivor
of a global pandemic. Seemingly the only human immune to the plague in a
desolate Los Angeles, he becomes the target for "the Family", a terrifying cult
of human victims turned nocturnal mutants, who blame him for the downfall of
humanity. While the film has its feet planted firmly in the 1970's, its current
influence on the post -apocalyptic genre is undisputed. Australian born Ron
Grainer's (The Prisoner, Doctor Who) experimental soundtrack skilfully blends
orchestral, funk and jazz influences to produce a lush and varied score that
today boasts a large cult following. This not least because the soundtrack has
only ever been released by Film Score Monthly as a CD. In addition, this
original soundtrack release includes pieces by Thelonious Monk, Cole Porter
and Max Steiner, making its debut on vinyl for Record Store Day 2018.
