The Exorcist

Perseverance Records is proud to announce the reissue of the soundtrack to The Exorcist, one of horror's best and most frightening films of all time. This is another release straight from the Warner/Elektra/Atlantic vaults - remastered and priced just right. Back in 1973 not only was this film released during the Christmas holiday season, it freaked out audiences like nothing that came before (well maybe Night of the Living Dead!). For many audiences seeing Linda Blair make obscene gestures to Father Karras and puking green stuff was a shock and something not seen that often in movies around that time. One thing everybody remembers about the film is Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. Also featured on the soundtrack are classical pieces by Krysztof Penderecki, Anton Webern and Hans Werner Henze. Contains the original LP art.

Release Notes: This was remastered by Warner Bros. Records for release by our label. It sounds excellent, like all of our previous Warner reissues. We tried and did not convince the label to let us include Lalo Schifrin's score. Warner wanted us to release the original LP (and later Japanese import CD version). Priced to sell. As usual, we want these to be reasonably priced for collectors who missed out, as well as the non-collector who saw the movie and loved the music. As with all of our reissues from Warner, please remember we price these to be reasonable so that collectors can get a good, remastered edition of this wonderful music to enjoy. This keeps the prices reasonable! Limited to 3,000 CDs.
