Composer Fumio Hayasaka began a respected creative collaboration with Akira Kurosawa in 1948 with 'Drunken Angel', resulting in 7 films regarded as Kurosawa's masterpieces. 'Seven Samurai Soundtrack' is Hayasaka's final complete score for Kurosawa. Its touching music, a perfect mix of Western orchestral and traditional Japanese sounds, is pressed on 180g white vinyl. Recorded in Japan in 1955, the score has a timeless charm that matches the film's influence. It's full of string arrangements that enhance the on - screen magic. A must - have for cinemaphiles and Hayasaka fans, this vinyl comes with a 16 - page booklet and bonus tracks from Kurosawa's 1955 film 'I Live in Fear' (Hayasaka passed away during scoring, and Masaru Sato completed it). The vinyl is 180g red and is from the Doxy Cinematic 2017 music label.
Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle onto the groove, and enjoy the beautiful music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the surface. To keep it in good condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Also, don't stack heavy objects on top of it. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing. And always handle the record by the edges to prevent scratches.
