This was the first LP I transferred to CD but I had done a few things already so I'm pretty pleased with the results. I doctored it up nicely with Sound Forge eliminating snaps and crackles. I believe it sounds a bit better than the original LP now but not as good as a professionally remastered cd would.
I just discovered that Death Wish 2 was transferred to cd at one point but is out of print yet again. It was probably a very low print run so it's still exceptionally rare.
I've always enjoyed this soundtrack. Some of it sounds a little haunting (Hotel Rats And Photostats, Shadow In The City). Some of it really rocks out (Who's To Blame, City Sirens, Big Band, Sax and Violence, Hypnotizing Ways). Unlike other soundtracks it seems to include some of the incidental and mood music so some of the tracks are a little boring but it's all worth a listen. Definitely a must for Jimmy Page fans. He played Who's To Blame and City Sirens on the ARMS tour before forming The Firm.
