Perseverance Records presents the long awaited official release of the 1980 cult classic Prom Night. Perseverance worked closely with Carl Zittrer and Paul Zaza to locate and unearth the original masters and all music recorded for the film including unreleased disco songs and score not used in the final production, never heard before anywhere.
This marks the first official and complete CD release of the Prom Night soundtrack. While the songs themselves have made appearances on a notorious Japanese LP and eventual bootleg recordings sourced from it, there was no official release of the songs - partially because the movie was made in the waning days of the disco fever.
This soundtrack features four different aspects of the music. First it opens with a re-creation of the score as it appears in the film - or as close to it as it could be assembled from the separate elements. Next is the score that wasn't used in the picture. Then come the disco songs in approximate order - but omitting the Blue Bazaar songs that were not featured in the movie and were used only as filler for the bootleg Japanese LP. The last portion of the album is dedicated to the songs that don't appear in the picture yet are as intrinsic to the sound of Prom Night as the songs that made it.

I'm having trouble with your website. Both on my mobile device and desktop - cannot get past the "shipping method" page. When I hit "proceed to payment" it just freezes.
I've always liked Paul Zaza's work in general (especially "Murder by Decree" and "Curtains") and it's great to see this one finally getting a definitive release. Very curious about the 12 minutes of unused cues.
Zaza hasn't scored any film or television projects since 2005, with Zaza's final credit to date also being the late director Bob Clark's final credit. Zaza's very talented and I would love to see him scoring movies again.
