Rare soundtrack 7" and 12"?
Hello fellow soundtrack collectors!
I was wondering if any of you have any rare (or not) vinyl soundtrack 7" or 12" EPs in your collections. I myself have been looking for (without any success) a rare promo 7" featuring 2 tracks from the classic Italian gore-fest ZOMBIE (music by Fabio Frizzi). It was only given out at movie theaters in Japan during the films release there! I have a few cool Japanese 7" EP's that are movie/TV related, the highlight of those being a four track 7" EP of music from the classic 1969 Japanese period piece/horror film called "Jigokuhen" known in English as "Portrait of Hell". This EP comes in beautiful, hard cardboard, full color, gate-fold jacket with many pics from the film. The music is by Yasushi Akutagawa, and to my knowledge this is the only release of his music for this film. I have some other cool discs like a Japanese 7" single with two songs by Zitter/Zaza from the US horror film Prom Night (I have the full LP also). Most of my 7"s contain songs from Japanese films/TV shows--here are a few highlights from my collection:
Meiko Kaji - Theme from Lady Snowblood (Shura no Hana) 7" w/ps
Meiko Kaji - Theme from Female Prisoner Scorpion 701 (Urami Bushi) 7" w/ps
Meiko Kaji - Theme from the TV show "Sengoku Rock" (Hagure Bushi) 7" w/ps
Meiko Kaji - Theme from Jean's Blues 7" w/ps
Miki Sugimoto - Theme from Sukeban Gerila (Onna Bancho Nagaremono) 7" w/ps
Miki Sugimoto - Theme from Zero Woman (studio version, different from version released on Hotwax CD) 7"
Sonny (Shinichi) Chiba - Gorilla Seven theme song, 7" w/ps
Shintaro Katsu - Zatoichi theme, 7" w/ps
My only 12" EP of movie related music is a rare 12" single of two songs from the cult classic new wave musical, The Apple. The two songs are the opening song "BIM" and the classic "Speed"
What other classic soundtrack related vinyl 7" and 12" have you, my fellow collectors, in your collections?

NOW THAT APRIL'S HERE, a 1958 soundtrack issued in Canada briefly for a Canadian film that opened and died very quickly. It has a very good score by John BATH, son of British composer Hubert Bath.

I have 2 remix's of the themes from Dario Argento's Tenebrae and Demons. The 2 12"s of John Carpenter's Escape From New York and Assault On Precinct 13 are completely different electro disco numbers and are a must have.
A lot of the themes from the early biker films were issued as 7"s with different mixes (mono mixes were LOUDER): Hell's Belles, Wild Angels, Born Losers, Hell's Angels '69. The original Deep Throat LP was issued in a plain white cover at the theaters it played. The best and rarest I have are the themes to "No Blade of Grass" by Casey Kasem (ranting about the end of the world with the Mike Curb Congregation singing behind him!);the Boys In The Band doing the funky # "Sumpin Heavy" from the awful "The Phynx" starring everyone famous in 1971 , and a truly obscure single by an acid rock group called Aim doing "Tunnel Rat" from The Devil Walks Among Us...which is probably not the title of the film...cause I can't find out anything about this thing at all except that people pay over $100 for it!
Wow, the Apple had a 12" of Speed? I hope it wasn't the same mix as the records!
