The score for the 1974 action-thriller Shatter was composed by David Lindup,
serving as a standout, Blaxploitation-style soundtrack that blends
funky library music, wah-wah guitars, and Quincy Jones-style jazz elements.
The main theme is a lively, brass-heavy pastiche of 1970s funk and soul, heavily
inspired by Isaac Hayes’ iconic Shaft theme. In the final 1974 theatrical release, much of Lindup's
acclaimed score was buried underneath the movie's heavy action sound effects.
For decades, the Shatter soundtrack was never commercially released in any form.
However, as part of Hammer's modern revival and restoration efforts,
the original clean cues have been released for collectors.
HAMMER FILMS are thrilled to announce the next release in their new range
that will see an array of Hammer soundtracks remastered and available in deluxe packaging,
accompanied by brand new, bespoke material.
In news that will come as music to the ears of Hammer fans everywhere, we’re delighted to confirm that the original
soundtrack to Shatter (1974) will soon be available on vinyl for the first time ever.
The critically acclaimed score by David Lindup has been restored and remastered.
For the first time, Lindup’s score is presented as originally intended. This 12” LP restores approximately thirty
minutes of music, including the main theme, alternate cues, and incidental pieces. This is essential for
library music collectors, film-music connoisseurs, and fans of funk music.
