Presenting the original motion picture score to the 1980 horror film classic Friday The 13th, starring Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer and Kevin Bacon, and directed by Sean Cunningham. Acclaimed composer Harry Manfredini fashions some of the most chilling, daring and skillfully orchestrated music ever composed for the horror genre. These are the original tracks from the film - the music that launched a horror icon, Jason Voorhees, from the depths of Crystal Lake. A must for all film music and horror fans!

It's all good, except Sail Away Tiny Sparrow
This is a great CD. I love the music, especially the end theme. However, I was terribly disappointed when I played Sail Away Tiny Sparrow. That was one of the songs I was looking forward to on this CD. Something is very wrong with it. The tempo is the same. The music is the same. It's the exact same song you hear twice in the movie. BUT, the voices are pitched far too low, making this female singer sound almost like a man. You can tell it's the same recording, just for some reason they changed the pitch of the voices. Really ruined the song. It's a shame. The rest of the CD is terrific.

the Friday the 13 score is something that horror fans have been waiting for
Believe me if your a fan of Friday the 13 th you should get this soundtrack i mean it was released a couple of years ago with the first 6 scores. But la la land records made a limited edition of the first score on cd for the fans who don't have the original score. But believe me this score is awesome a horror fan can't miss it. So get a copy before their all gone.

Harry Manfredini - An Underrated Master
One of the most impressive things about Harry Manfredini's music is that despite the fact he is using the same basic instrumentation (strings, brass, etc.) as most orchestral film composers his overall sound is so distinctive. As soon as the music begins it is immediately identifiable as being the work of Manfredini.Because he usually records the performers in small groups, the instruments seem to be close-miked giving the music an intimate, raw and visceral quality unmatched by any other composer in film music.Appropriately for movies set largely in the forest, the music has a woody, scratchy sound that perfectly captures the visual environment being depicted.An underrated talent making truly unique music, the release of the Friday the 13th scores gives soundtrack fans the opportunity to explore and celebrate the work of this often overlooked master of the art of film scoring.All hail Harry Manfredini!

Schlecht Verpackt!
Erstmal muss ich sagen, dass der Soundtrack auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne verdient hat (Wo bei man auf den SONG verzichten könnte)! Und man auch für seltene Raritäten gerne tiefer in die Tasche greift.Nur legt wohlmöglich AMAZON wenig Wert darauf (zu mindestens nach meinen Erfahrungen was Audio - CD betrifft), Empfindlichere Wahren sicherer zu verstauen, damit sie ihr Ziel unbeschadet überstehen können!Musste leider zum Ärger feststellen, dass zwei Einrisse auf der vorderen ausenhülle der CD nach dem auspacken zu finden waren! Das war bis jetzt keine Ausnahme!Deshalb 2 Sterne Abzug.
