Store Categories SHOGUN ASSASSIN - OST / LP BRAND NEW VINYL / 2011
2011 REPRESS - "This elusive and highly sought after OST was never officially released with only a small amount pressed as promotional copies by the Hollywood based production company that spliced the movie together from two cult jidaigeki films for the American market. . The music was done by W. MICHAEL LEWIS of disco producers RINDER & LEWIS and MARK LINDSAY of PAUL REVERE produces. Sampled extensively by GZA on "LIQUID SWORDS".
The scarcity value is really only one very small part of this album’s appeal however. The soundtrack counts many legendary figures among its creators. Composition was largely taken care of by W. Michael Lewis known to most of us as one half of God-like disco production team Rinder & Lewis whilst Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & The Raiders is on production duties. In addition to this the entire piece is an epic showcase for the Moog synthesizer.
In the mid nineties, the music was brought back to life once more by Wu-Tang Clan member GZA for his debut solo LP “Liquid Sword”. Widely considered to be one of the great Hip Hop albums of all time the sample arsenal it relies on is dominated by the sounds of Shogun Assassin. This re-issue sees crystal clear and faithful re-mastering of the original audio and careful recreation of the original artwork. This is a chance to own what has, up until now, been a several hundred pound acquisition."
