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.
So, step inside the shadow-drenched world of ‘The Curse of Frankenstein’ with this definitive soundtrack release from Hammer Films, celebrating the film that launched Hammer Horror and changed cinema forever.
In early 1957, composer James Bernard wrote, orchestrated, and recorded sixteen powerful cues for ‘The Curse of Frankenstein’. Created in a remarkably short production window, Bernards score became the sonic blueprint for Hammers bold new gothic identity.
Although all sixteen tracks were used in the finished film, the original session recordings are now lost. During Hammers painstaking 2025 4K feature restoration, approximately 13 minutes of clean music were newly extracted from the films original mixed music-and-effects track a rare archival recovery that brings Bernards work back from the grave.
For the first time anywhere in the world, this historic music is released on vinyl, presented as four atmospheric suites across two 45rpm 7″ EPs. Carefully curated to preserve the dramatic flow of the score, this release allows listeners to experience the chilling intensity, gothic menace and emotional weight that defined Hammers Frankenstein.
Limited 2×7″ green vinyl pressing.
