Mike Oldfield &
Various – The Exorcist (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Label: Warner Bros. Records
Catalog No.: P-8464W
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Promo

Offered for sale is the original promo LP of The Exorcist soundtrack, one of the most iconic and unsettling film scores in cinematic history. Closely associated with William Friedkin’s legendary 1973 horror masterpiece, this release holds a unique place at the intersection of film, avant-garde composition, and cult culture.

This promotional pressing was produced in strictly limited quantities for internal use, radio stations, and industry distribution only, and was never intended for retail sale. As such, original promo copies are significantly rarer than standard commercial issues and highly sought after by collectors.

Featuring haunting works by Mike Oldfield, Krzysztof Penderecki, George Crumb, and others, the album’s atmosphere is instantly recognizable and deeply influential. The stark, minimalist soundscapes defined the sonic language of modern horror and continue to resonate across generations.

Collector Highlights:
Rare Warner Bros. promo pressing
Iconic soundtrack to one of the most influential horror films ever made
