1985 Soundtrack – Day Of The Dead
Day Of The Dead is a 1985 American post-apocalyptic zombie horror film written and directed by George A. Romero, and produced by Richard P. Rubinstein.
The soundtrack was released on LP and cassette in the same year as the film (1985) by Saturn Records; it contained 6 tracks, all of which was composed and performed by John Harrison. The vocals came from Sputzy Sparacino who was the lead singer of the Pittsburgh R&B/dance/cover band Modern Man and Delilah, who was known at the time for being the lead singer of the Pittsburgh R&B/gospel/dance band Samson & Delilah on the tracks “If Tomorrow Comes” and “The World Inside Your Eyes”. The album was re-issued in 2002 by Numenorean Music as a limited edition CD. The new edition was limited to 3,000 copies and contained the original album plus five additional tracks from the music and effects reel (the only surviving recording of the film score). It also included a 12-page booklet with information from Harrison and Romero regarding the score.
