Eric Clapton, David Sanborn & Michael Kamen Lethal Weapon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP (Clear Vinyl)

The original 1987 soundtrack newly remastered for vinyl. Composed and performed by Eric Clapton, Michael Kamen and David Sanborn, the album features Clapton on guitar on 9 tracks.

After first teaming for the acclaimed BBC television series Edge of Darkness, composer Michael Kamen and guitar god Eric Clapton reunited to score Richard Donner's 1987 action blockbuster Lethal Weapon, and while Clapton's six-string pyrotechnics generated the lion's share of attention upon the soundtrack's official release, it's Kamen's dramatic, razor-edged orchestrations that proved most influential, anticipating his landmark Die Hard score by a year. Kamen's relentless melodies boast the epic scope that would define popcorn-movie action in the years to follow, but unlike so many of his rivals he never sacrifices complexity for bombast. Even the most chaotic themes reveal an inner logic and purpose.
