Note: this is my rip of the newest re-release of this rather off-the-wall score from David A. Hess (Krug) for now-legendary director Wes Craven's first film, The Last House on the Left courtesy of One Way Static Records who helped pull this soundtrack out of obscurity once again. I opted to leave the sound untouched as I find the occasional pops, clicks and crackles to be more pleasant than normal and a welcome addition to the soundtrack. Not to forget to mention that it's the very first vinyl release ever so it's finally amazing to hear the noisy analog vinyl sound versus the too-clean digital sound that we have had available to us (through bootlegging circuits, naturally, due to its out of print status for many years). There is a nice sprinkling of pops, clicks and crackling throughout but personally, for the first time I can recall, it's not a hindrance to my enjoyment. It completes the experience for me. Now to find original UNCUT 35mm reels that weren't cut to bits by the projectionists at the time of its release.
A particular favorite song (of many) of mine is the song Now You're All Alone. It's definitely the downbeat cue of the soundtrack. Hess' voice is a marvel to listen to and the clarity offered as a result of this vinyl recording is astounding.
As like before, I ran out of time to split each track up so this is presented in 2 FLAC files covering both sides of the vinyl (properly labeled Side A or Side B) however I could not place the markers. My apologies in advance for any discomfort. You will survive. Unlike poor Mary Collingwood and Phyllis Stone.
This is a very interesting soundtrack and one I re-visit every so often just when I need a good cheering up. For a film so grim, the songs that accompany some of the more shocking scenes are scored with a humorous side to it. Ahhhh, the glorious 70's. Enjoy!

Additional Note: I'd have included images of the two variants that were made available for the vinyl re-issue but I cannot find any high-res images. This came in a standard black vinyl with a very limited run of 300 pink (or red, I will see when it gets here) copies. Images may be found on eBay.
