Description
Hammer Films are thrilled to launch a new range that will see an array of Hammer soundtracks remastered and available in deluxe packaging, accompanied by brand new, bespoke material. The first release is this double 7" set of James Bernard's classic The Curse of Frankenstein suite, pressed on green vinyl.
Film music has long been one of cinema's most important and cherished elements. Composer Bernard Herrmann called soundtracks 'a living force' and Martin Scorsese declared, 'Music and film are almost one and the same.' Hammer Films have a long tradition of providing outstanding music for their work, ever since the iconic Paul Robeson sang in their 1936 musical, Song of Freedom...
Created during Hammer's 2025 4K restoration of The Curse of Frankenstein, this Limited Collector's Edition Double EP preserves the only surviving source of James Bernard's authentic Frankenstein score.
Recovered directly from the film's original music and effects track, the restored cues have been carefully curated into four suites. Together, they mark the first release in Hammer's new restoration-led soundtrack range.
