Waxwork Records is thrilled to present BODY DOUBLE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Pino Donaggio. Body Double is a 1984 American neo-noir erotic thriller film directed, co-written, and produced by Brian De Palma (Carrie, Scarface, Phantom of the Paradise). It stars Craig Wasson, Gregg Henry, Melanie Griffith, and Deborah Shelton. The film is a direct homage to the 1950s films of Alfred Hitchcock taking on plot lines and themes such as voyeurism and obsession.
The film tells the story of a struggling actor, Jake Scully, who is offered a gig house-sitting in the Hollywood Hills. While peering through the beautiful home’s telescope one night, he spies on a gorgeous woman dancing in her window. But, when Scully witnesses the woman’s murder, it leads him through an underworld of the adult entertainment industry on a search for answers, with porn actress Holly Body as his guide.
After fighting censorship boards over the rating of his film Scarface - initially rated X and having to battle to make it R - Brian De Palma resolved to make Body Double as a pushback. At the time he said, “If this one doesn’t get an X, nothing I ever do is going to. This is going to be the most erotic and surprising and thrilling movie I know how to make… I’m going to give them everything they hate and more of it than they’ve ever seen. They think Scarface was violent? They think my other movies were erotic? Wait until they see Body Double.”
The film’s memorable soundtrack by legendary composer Pino Donaggio (Carrie, Tourist Trap, The Howling, Don’t Look Now) features memorable and influential cues including the standout track “Telescope”. The dynamic soundtrack music also features striking and exciting orchestral cues that are a throwback to classic Hollywood thrillers coupled with synth driven, electronic dance cues which complement the excessive 1980’s neon-washed porn industry in which the film is set.
Waxwork Records is excited to present the complete Body Double film music by Pino Donaggio for the first time on vinyl as a deluxe double LP featuring 150 gram Body Double red and blue colored vinyl, heavyweight gatefold jackets with film laminate gloss finish, an 11”x11” insert, and artwork by Robert Sammelin. The cover features the film’s classic 1984 original poster art restored.

ブライアン・デ・パルマの傑作、「ボディ・ダブル」のサウンドトラックが180g重郎盤カラー・ヴァイナルの2枚組で初リリース！
トラックリスト伝説的作曲家ピノ・ドナッジオ（『キャリー』、『デビルズ・ゾーン』、『ハウリング』、『殺しのドレス』）によるこの映画の印象的なサウンドトラックには、傑出したトラック「Telescope」を含む、記憶に残る影響力のあるキューが収録されている。このダイナミックなサウンドトラックの音楽は、古典的なハリウッド・スリラーを彷彿とさせる印象的でエキサイティングなオーケストラ・キューと、シンセサイザーを駆使したエレクトロニック・ダンス・キューを特徴としており、映画の舞台である1980年代のネオンに塗られた過剰なポルノ業界を引き立てている。
ピノ・ドナッジオによるオリジナル・スコア全曲を、150グラムの「ボディ・ダブル」赤と青のカラー・ヴァイナル、フィルムラミネート光沢仕上げのヘビーウェイト・ゲートフォールド・ジャケット、11インチx11インチのインサート、ロバート・サンメリンによるアートワークのデラックス2枚組LPとして初めてヴァイナル化する。ジャケットには、1984年のクラシックなオリジナル・ポスター・アートが復元されている。
ハリウッドの豪邸に住む美女を覗き見していた売れない役者は彼女の周囲に奇怪な男が出没する事を知り助けようとするが、彼には閉所恐怖症というハンデがあった……。ヒッチコック信者として名高いデ・パルマが「裏窓」「めまい」をモチーフにしたばかりか、技術的にもかつてのヒッチコック映画で使われた技法を駆使してとうとう作り上げた個人趣味の集大成的スリラー。エロチック度がかなり加味されているが、それを一手に引き受けているのが後半ポルノ女優役で活躍するメラニー・グリフィス。1984年米。
