Presenting George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead Original Theatrical Soundtrack. This expansive three LP set features the complete De Wolfe library cues from Romero’s 1978 cut of the zombie classic for the first time on vinyl. This special release of the iconic Dawn Of The Dead soundtrack features the U.S. theatrical soundtrack, including “Cause I’m A Man” by the British band Pretty Things, as well as fan favorite “The Gonk” by composer Herbert Chappell.

Dawn of the Dead (also known internationally as Zombi) was written by Romero in collaboration with Italian filmmaker, Dario Argento. It is the second film of Romero’s Living Dead Trilogy, and shows in a larger scale the apocalyptic effects of the dead returning to life, and seeking human victims.

During the escalating zombie epidemic, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter and his TV executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall. Dawn of the Dead stars David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger, Gaylen Ross, David Crawford, David Early, Richard France, Howard Smith, Daniel Dietrich, Fred Baker, James A. Baffico, Rod Stouffer and Jese Del Gre.

George A. Romero’s Dawn Of The Dead is considered to be one of the greatest and most compelling zombie films ever made by blending horror, gore, and social commentary on material society. Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars and called it “one of the best horror films ever made.” The film was selected as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time by Empire Magazine in 2008. It was also named as one of The Best 1000 Movies Ever Made, a list published by The New York Times.

Waxwork Records is proud to release George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead Original Theatrical Soundtrack loaded with features including 3xLP colored vinyl, deluxe heavyweight triple gatefold packaging with matte satin coating, artwork by Ruiz Burgos, a four page booklet, and extensive liner notes by Living Dead film music archivist and historian Jim Cirronella.

The De Wolfe Library Cues from Dawn of the Dead were performed by Paul Lemel, Derek Laren, Eric Towren, Simon Park, Jack Trombey and Herbert Chappell.
