Heavy Metal - Music From the Motion Picture - Red Vinyl - 2XLP

Heavy Metal was released by Columbia Pictures on August 7, 1981. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics and was a moderate commercial success. However, it has since achieved a cult following.  Its soundtrack was packaged by music manager Irving Azoff.  It included several popular rock bands and artists, including Black Sabbath, Blue Öyster Cult, Sammy Hagar, Don Felder, Cheap Trick, DEVO, Journey, and Nazareth, among others.   

The film is an anthology of various science-fiction and fantasy stories tied together by a single theme of an evil force that is "the sum of all evils". It was adapted from Heavy Metal magazine and original stories in the same spirit. Like the magazine, the film features a great deal of graphic violence, sexuality, and nudity. Its production was expedited by having several animation houses working simultaneously on different segments.
