Demons
**666 copies, deluxe edition on purple vinyl** Definitive release of the Iconic Horror Film soundtrack firmed by Claudio Simonetti for the Horror/Gore movie Demons by Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava.

A distinctly fightening melody characterizes the ‘transformation’ sequences as the 2nd prostitute slowly becomes a demon. The same melody appears throughout the film in different places.

"Can you truly believe this record was released in 1965?

But The Man From O.R.G.A.N. was a monster in itself. How could you go wrong with this t…
