John Carpenter & Alan Howarth - Escape From New York

Escape From New York original soundtrack 2LP on transparent blue vinyl

Originally released on CD in 2000, the expanded soundtrack edition of John Carpenter's classic 1981 thriller includes more than 20 minutes of previously unreleased music plus music from scenes deleted from the final print. The masters were re-mixed from the original multi-track session tapes by long-time Carpenter associate Alan Howarth.

This is the first time the expanded edition has appeared on vinyl in its complete form, including original dialogue highlights.

Director John Carpenter's 1981 action-thriller starring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken heads an all-time great performance of an all-time terrific anti-hero. Plissken must rescue the President of the United States when Air Force One is hijacked and crashes into the island of Manhattan, which has been converted into a giant maximum security prison. Plissken, a former special forces solider turned criminal, is recruited to retrieve the president in exchange for his own freedom.
