THIS RECORD IS BRAND NEW & FACTORY SEALED!!
LP limited to 1,400 copies. LP comes packaged in a deluxe tip-on
gatefold jacket w/ printed insert & obi Prolific and multitalented
composer, musician & record producer DON PEAKE wrote the original
soundtrack for Wes Craven’s THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977) where his eerie
soundtrack punched up some of the films most unnerving scenes. Don
started his music career in 1961 as the lead guitarist for The Everly
Brothers and played guitar for ten years in the Ray Charles Orchestra.
Don played guitar on Phil Spector’s Righteous Brothers hit “You’ve Lost
That Loving Feeling,” Ike and Tina Turners “River Deep, Mountain High”
and the Jackson Five’s hit song “ABC” to name just a few. He worked as
an arranger for such artists as Roy Orbison, The Monkees, Wayne Newton,
Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Sonny and Cher, John Lennon, The Beach Boys,
Diana Ross and many, many more. Don was a respected staff guitarist at
Motown Records. Mr. Peake was part of the legendary ‘Wrecking Crew’
an elite clique of notable musicians employed by some of the biggest
acts on the planet. Phil Spector even used the crew to create his
trademarked ‘Wall Of Sound’. Don got his start doing movie
soundtracks a year before THE HILLS HAVE EYES, with the documentary THE
LEGEND OF BIGFOOT (1976) and the comedy MOVING VIOLATION (1976) and has
done music for feature films and television ever since. You’ll find
Don’s music in the exploitation film BLACK OAK CONSPIRACY (1977), horror
films like THE HOUSE WHERE DEATH LIVES (1981),THEP REY (1984), Wes
Craven’s THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS (1991) and SANDMAN (1993). He’s
done soundtrack music for TV movies like BATTERED (1978), DESIRE THE
VAMPIRE (1982) and CODE OF VENGEANCE(1985). Thrillers like RORSCHACH
(1993), BODY COUNT(1995) and THE KILLER WITHIN ME (2003) as well as
action films, comedies, television series and science fiction films. Two
of his films are Academy Award winners. Most will know his musical
work for the KNIGHT RIDER TV series. And yes, that includes the
memorable theme song you can’t seem to get out of your head since the
eighties. In 2007, Don Peake was inducted into the Musician’s Hall of
Fame in Nashville, TN. One Way Static Records is proud to announce
the release of this historical motion picture soundtrack. A truly eerie
experimental score that uses natural devices and existing instruments.
It’s fascinating to know that most of the percussion sounds heard are
actually the sounds of the bone & teeth necklaces worn by the actors
that are being played like instruments. Not for the faint of heart!
