Scarlet / Gray Silver Bullet. Catalog Number: LP-RGM-1796C Color: Red Format: LP UPC: 848064017967 Jay Chattaway got his start arranging charts for Maynard Ferguson's Orchestra before becoming a go-to composer for '80s genre pictures, a career path that eventually led him to the musical captain's chair of various Star Trek TV series and movies. 1985's Silver Bullet--one of the great werewolf pictures in a decade full of 'em (e.g. American Werewolf in London)--came early in his odyssey, but he was already deftly blending orchestral and electronic timbres with some unexpected flourishes, like the classical guitar on "Looking for Mr. One-Eye." For the first-ever vinyl reissue of the soundtrack, we've accessed superior sound sources, updated the cover art, and pressed it in scarlet and gray "silver bullet" vinyl to match both the souped-up wheelchair of paraplegic protagonist Marty and the projectile that finally does the beast in. Limited to just 600 copies!
