This superb album is being re-issued , Ltd Edition of 500 copies. For anyone who has not heard it, it is fantastic ! I have the original vinyl, but my copy is a bit worn, so am getting this great new release ! If you are a Hammer fan, you NEED this ! http://www.dustbugrecords.com/
Assuming that this is the same as the 1974 Capitol/EMI LP.
Track Listing:
1. Dracula (Narrated By Christopher Lee) (22:47) - James Bernard 2. Fear In The Night (4:29) - John McCabe 3. She (5:33) - James Bernard 4. Vampire Lovers (3:33) - Harry Robinson 5. Dr. Jekyll And Sister Hyde (7:36) - David Whitaker
This release is vinyl so of no use to me, besides that it has a different track listing than the version I know.
I have been looking for some time to find a copy of the CD that has the "fear" intro, the Dracula story as narrated by Christopher Lee and the "Taste the blood of Dracula" love theme (the most beautiful track of all Hammer films). I borrowed it from the local library in the 90s and have never seen it since anywhere. No CD-store and not online, nowhere.
By the way, I bought the original EMI LP back in the 1970s, and was enthralled by it. Aside from the two "Horror of Dracula" tracks on that old Dick Jacobs' LP on Coral Records from 1959 or so, "Themes from Horror Movies," there was virtually nothing else out on records from Hammer films at the time of the EMI "Hammer Presents Dracula" LP in 1974. To be able to have that James Bernard music (culled from several Dracula films) under Christopher Lee's narration on one side of the LP, plus those four short Hammer Films suites on side two (especially Bernard's "She") was like manna from Heaven back in those days. Back then, that was a true breakthrough. I have that EMI LP to this day and cherish it.
