1985 Soundtrack – Clue

Clue is a 1985 American black comedy mystery film based on the popular board game of the same name. Directed by Jonathan Lynn, who collaborated on the script with John Landis, and produced by Debra Hill, it stars the ensemble cast of Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Lesley Ann Warren.

In February 2011, La-La Land Records released John Morris‘s score for the film as a limited-edition soundtrack CD. In 2015, to mark the film’s 30th anniversary, Mondo issued a limited-edition vinyl pressed on six different colored 180 Gram Vinyl colors for each of the suspects.
