With an excellent script by Anthony Shaffer, the film was immediately considered one of Hitchcok's best and has since become a classic.After the parting of ways with Bernard Herrmann, Hitchcock changed composers in each of his last four films, choosing from those who were popular at the time. For FRENZY, his first choice was Henry Mancini (BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, THE PINK PANTHER, HATARI!, CHARADE), who wrote a sumptuous, gothic-hued score featuring an unusual orchestral palette. The main theme uses the dolorous tones and sepulchral pedals of a mighty organ, and the tension-filled score that follows is grim and at times almost brutal. Hitchcock, feeling it was too \"dark and cruel,\" turned it down and hired celebrated British composer Ron Goodwin (MURDER, SHE SAID, BATTLE OF BRITAIN, WHERE EAGLES DARE, SQUADRON 633) to compose a lighter, yet still suspenseful, score. For the main title, a panoramic shot over the Thames, Goodwin wrote a majestic melody ornamented with trumpets and timpani, in the best English tradition of pomp and circumstance.FRENZY was the only completely rejected score in Henry Mancini's long career, and also one of the most famous and requested Goodwin scores over the ensuing decades. Neither of them, however, have previously been officially released in any form until today.This 2-LP collection has been painstakingly produced, restored and mastered by Mike Matessino from stereo and mono elements vaulted at Universal Pictures, with the collaboration of both the Ron Goodwin and Henry Mancini estates.This special edition features an exclusive, in-depth essay by writer and composer Deniz Cordell packaged in a deluxe tip-on gatefold and pressed in audiophile 180 GM black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Title (From the Motion Picture 'Frenzy')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Covent Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frenzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Arrival at Brenda's Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In the Salvation Army Hostel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Death of Brenda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fugitive from the Coburg Hotel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Talk in the Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Spree de Corpse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Murder Flashback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Escape and Retribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frenzy (End Title)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Juke Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Murder Flashback (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frenzy (End Title) (Film Version Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Tie Is Your Tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Kind of Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Son of My Kind of Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Exit Oscar Wilde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Big Drag for Babs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hot Potatoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babs Grabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Inspector Thinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rusk on Candid Camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Off to Rusk's Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e End Credits \/ End Rusk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Posh for Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tijuana on Thames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prologue (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babs Grabs (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53092444242256,"sku":"8.27E+11","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/2762\/2480\/files\/4329094-3144635.jpg?v=1780316194","url":"https:\/\/noirrecordsuk.com\/products\/frenzy-original-soundtrack-preorder","provider":"Noir Records Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
