Notes
The world premiere release of the complete soundtrack from the 1972 Michael Winner thriller The Mechanic - arguably Jerry Fielding's most dramatic work!

This release of The Mechanic soundtrack includes all 27 minutes of music from earlier releases plus and additional 50 minutes of previously unreleased music!

Composer Fielding takes his cue from the methodical hitman played by Charles Bronson and creates an incredibly complex work for orchestra. Chilling tone clusters for piano, knife jabs for brass, startling percussion... and cold, cerebral strings see Fielding at his most intense, but he's also calculated, by adding tiny wisp of warmth to keep everything just out of balance.

This CD has been produced from the original multi-track stereo session masters courtesy of MGM and also includes the exciting big band source cues the composer wrote for the movie plus alternate end titles.

Limited to 1500 copies.

Packaging & Liner Notes
Standard jewel case with a great 8-page booklet. Authoritative text from director/composer expert Nick Redman plus musical analysis from FSM's Lukas Kendall illuminates every moment!
