Who knows,maybe they're in a better position to think about it now!

I found no less than two other threads requesting Shameless release a soundtrack CD so I've merged them all together here!

I would certainly buy a copy. I'm not sure exactly what the logistics of such a thing are but I will certainly make sure that Shameless sees this thread!

Seeing as Shameless have the rights to distribute the films (at least in the UK) does that mean they also have the distribution rights to the film's soundtrack? - or at least, the audio track of the film.

It would be very easy to do a home made CD, just use something like ImToo DVD Audio Ripper to extract the audio from the DVDs, then locate the musical bits using Audacity/etc. Unfortunately in some cases, for example on The Frightened Woman, you have parts of the soundtrack that are interrupted by dialogue (e.g. in the closing field scenes the groovy music has dialogue over the top), but then the dancing scene has an uninterrupted song on it.

I wonder if Shameless have the isolated scores? Still, a release with just the songs that don't have character dialogue over the top (Oasis Of Fear is another one that springs to mind where the theme isn't interrupted) would be good enough.

Online distribution would be easy. I run a record label if Shameless are interested

The Frightened Woman OST was released on CD and Vinyl, I know a few more labels that might be into putting together a 'proper' release.

I think it's a great idea!

A set of Shameless scores or even Arrow scores for that matter would be very welcome. I know that the soundtrack collecting fraternity would be very interested, especially with the giallos. But, rights to these things tend to be quite complicated. I'd like to see another proper release of the Zombi OST for example.

I would love a Shameless Greatest Hits album with the themes from their first 20 releases.

Oh god yeah, "Raaaaiiin of Blooood". Thanks, it'll be days before I get that song out of my head!

This is a superb idea, I think maybe between tracks there could be snippets of dialogue from the first 20 Shameless titles, kinda like the ost for Pulp Fiction. Maybe this could be released around the same time as my proposed Shameless Top Trumps?

I'd love a proper compilation of the opening titles from many a giallo film or even the opening title music from Shameless releases. It would be super cool if they could include the closing track from Don't Torture A Duckling and the dirty, funky opening track from New York Ripper. I've been trying to track that down for ages.

Any soundtrack would need to have the theme music from Cannibal Holocaust -- a really haunting composition that works so well because it juxtaposes with the images on screen.
