John Carpenter’s "Escape from New York" [Death Waltz] (FLAC, Vinyl, 96000kHz/16-bit)

This one hasn’t been requested yet as I just got back from LA the other day where this came from (Amoeba Records on Sunset Boulevard, to be exact). I felt like listening to it and so far it sounds great. This is probably my favorite John Carpenter score, as well as film. This vinyl is the Death Waltz Records edition, and therefore is different from the "New Expanded Edition", which I have on disc. What’s missing is the dialogue unfortunately, as some of the snippets are what make Escape from NY a great OST. Also, some of the tracks sound like they end abruptly, but that’s because the dialogue snippets are obsolete and they blended the tracks together rather nicely. I did not tweak this in any way, it’s raw directly from the vinyl. Enjoy, all!

The cover art is pretty cool. My jaw dropped when I pulled the disc out of the sleeve, it’s such an awesome colored orange

True that… but I was more impressed with the vinyl art of the Death Proof LP… man, that thing looks killer, and almost makes me sad I hate the movie!

Oh, the red with the black splatter? It’s pretty awesome

That’s the one! Awesomesauce!

There seems to be some tracks missing from the Side A zip file. The only tracks I found included were:

A1 Main Title
A3 Over the Wall / Airforce One
A5 Orientation
A6 Engulfed Cathedral+ (Debussy)
A10 Everyone’s Coming to New York**

You’re kidding? I’ll look into it tomorrow, unless it’s just a fluke. In the meantime, try downloading it again

Nope… not kidding. Re-downloaded as you suggested, but still only get the tracks listed above. The size of the zip is still 224.8 Mb, while the complete Side B is 235.5 Mb, so perhaps they are there but can’t be seen (??!?).

No rush though… let me know if you are able to confirm any issues.

Clemery76, unzip the files with 7-Zip.

Thank you very much for your upload, DAKoftheOTA.

The reason you can’t extract the files is because there is something wrong with the naming of them. As Petros says, try 7zip.

And thanks for the upload 🙂 will be an interesting listen

thanks

Awesome – thanks!

Thanks for the share! This version has the original bank robbery music, I was wondering if anyone has the new bank robbery music Carpenter did for the expanded dvd/blu-ray edition?? I would love to get my hands on that track.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice Petros… 7 Zip worked a treat and I was able to extract ALL tracks!

Cheers!

Thanks

Thank you.

Although I’ve got the original vinyl, and subsequent two CDS, I downloaded this. I’m so glad that I did. Thanks very much for taking the trouble to rip and share this!

Thank you.

Very cool! Thanks!

Here’s a video of the actual LP turning on a turntable.

Can it re-upped please?

I second the request for the re-up since I lost some files a while back and this was one of them.

Would love a re-up if possible.

Can someone upload the score?
