Composer Ron Grainer's soundtrack to the 1971 sci-fi movie
The Omega Man has been reissued by Film Score Monthly due to popular demand. The CD had been issued by the company years ago as a limited edition and quickly sold out. In the ensuing years, that release has commanded big dollars on the collector's circuit. It has also spawned a number of bootleg editions of the soundtrack. Film Score Monthly says that's one of the reasons that spurred them to remaster the soundtrack and reissue it. The film was an adaptation of Richard Matheson's classic sci-fi novel
I Am Legend which had previously been brought to the screen in 1964 as
The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price. Charlton Heston starred in
The Omega Man and, more recently, the story was the basis for Will Smith's hit film
I Am Legend. Ron Grainer's score for
The Omega Man is superb on all levels and represents the kind of motion picture soundtrack that is all too rare today. To order
