Johnny Mandel - M*A*S*H

M*A*S*H (Limited edition original soundtrack)

First pressing of 750 numbered copies on 180-gram red vinyl

Johnny Mandel's work on the soundtrack for the film version of M.A.S.H. largely involved arranging period tunes and effect music (especially military and football-related themes), although he also wrote a memorable main title theme.

"Song from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)" is written by Johnny Mandel (music) and Mike Altman (lyrics), which was the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H. Mike Altman is the son of the original film's director, Robert Altman, and was 14 years old when he wrote the song's lyrics.
