DISTRIBUTED TITLESBEVERLY HILLS COP - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP. Music by Harold Faltermeyer. Pressed on Banana Swirl colored vinyl. Expected to Ship in 1 - 2 Business Days. Ships Worldwide. $25
Enjoy the Ride Records, in conjunction with Paramount Pictures, is proud to present the score to BEVERLY HILLS COP, available for the first time on vinyl. Composed by Grammy Award-winner Harold Faltermeyer (TOP GUN, FLETCH, MIDNIGHT EXPRESS), the '80s synth-pop sound is nostalgic and iconic. The protege of musical mastermind Giorgio Moroder got to show the world what he could do with this infectious compositions and fan favorite, "Axel F," which is strewn throughout various tracks of the score. Fun fact: Faltermeyer refers to Axel F as the "banana theme," as it was originally written for the scene where Axel Foley gives a pair of Beverly Hills police officers the slip by shoving bananas up their exhaust pipe, causing their car to stall when they try and tail him.

HARGLOW - HARGLOW LPHarglow the debut album will be released on limited-edition split color vinyl (Pink/Black). Includes download card and 12X12 art print. All artwork by Ben Turner. Limited to 300 copies. Expected to Ship in 1 - 2 Business Days. Ships Worldwide. $27
The songs contained on this record were originally discovered on two 1/4” tape reels with a single word written on them: "Harglow." These tapes were initially discovered during the estate liquidation of an affluent, yet eccentric gentleman believed to be highly involved in the occult.
Based on additional material found along with the tapes, the sounds collected on this record appear to have been used as a soundtrack for the man's grotesque rituals; the original musicians are unknown. Notebooks and additional articles were also found that could point to connections to a larger occult involvement. This has yet to be confirmed.
