Sword-fighting, vampire-slaying and gothic atmosphere in a gleeful genre mash-up - Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter is one of the most gloriously bombastic films in the Hammer canon, and its score matches it - beat for outrageous beat. Released on vinyl for the very first time, this double-disc LP features nearly 55 minutes of a rousing, swashbuckling Laurie Johnson score.
By August 1972, legendary composer Laurie Johnson - a close associate and friend of Clemens since they first worked together on The Avengers in the 1960s - had composed and created a score that was then synchronised against Clemens's visuals by Hammer's music supervisor Phil Martell.
By turns stirring, romantic, unsettling and bombastic, this much-requested, highly memorable score is made available here on vinyl for the first time anywhere in the world.
2-LP set pressed on blue vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with illustrated inserts and extensive liner notes.

剣戟、吸血鬼退治、そしてゴシックな雰囲気が、愉快なジャンル・マッシュアップとして融合した『吸血鬼ハンター』は、ハマー・フィルム作品の中でも最も華麗で壮大な映画の一つであり、そのサウンドトラックもまた、その破天荒なビートの一つひとつに見事に呼応しています。今回初めてアナログ盤としてリリースされるこの2枚組LPには、ローリー・ジョンソンによる、約55分間にわたる、気勢あふれる豪快なサウンドトラックが収録されています。
トラックリスト1972年8月までに、伝説的な作曲家ローリー・ジョンソン――1960年代に『おしゃれ(秘)探偵』で初めて共同作業を行って以来、クレメンスの親しい仲間であり友人であった――は、このサウンドトラックを作曲・制作し、その後、ハンマー社の音楽スーパーバイザーであるフィル・マーテルによって、クレメンスの映像に合わせて同期編集が行われました。
感動的、ロマンチック、不穏、そして壮大な要素が織り交ざった、長年の要望に応え、極めて印象深いこのサウンドトラックが、世界で初めてアナログ盤としてリリースされます。
