Deep Red (1975)

Death Waltz Recording Co. 2xLP, 2018 Goblin's score for Dario Argento's 1975 giallo mixes prog rock, disco and jazz into something that still sounds like nothing else, and this edition treats it as the landmark it is. The first disc reissues the original soundtrack as it appeared in 1975; the second adds alternate takes from the Cinevox archives, on vinyl for the first time. Randy Ortiz painted the cover, ringed in metallic gold, and opening the gatefold confronts you with an image of blood-stained hands at a piano, a direct nod to the film. Disc colors differ between variants, so check the listing. If you want one Italian horror score that shows why this music has such a cult, start here.
