The Wonderland Philharmonic: Shogun Assassin OST (Blood Red 180 Vinyl) Vinyl LP (Record Store Day)
Record Store Day Exclusive.Ā The cult classicĀ Shogun Assassin Soundtrack gets reissued for the first time on vinyl just for RSD 2015! This OST is the stuff of hip hop/sample digger legend after being sampled extensively for GZA's Liquid Swords by the RZA. Originally released in 1980 in a tiny promotional pressing, the soundtrackĀ blended eastern melodies with futuristic synths and electronic beats to give the grindhouse samurai flick (which was an adaptation of Lone Wolf And Cub) a crossover appeal. It was composed by W. Michael Lewis (of pioneering LA disco duo Rinder & Lewis) who gave the OST it's unique, (though non-authentic nor Japanese) feel. This highly sought-after album never got an official commercial pressing making O.G.'s very pricey and rare, so don't miss this deluxe red vinyl reissue while it lasts!
