Overview

Following the Death Wish II (album)|Death Wish II album project, guitarist Jimmy Page was asked by his Berkshire neighbour, movie director Michael Winner, to record a soundtrack for the film Scream for Help in August 1984.[1] Due to other commitments by Page, he instead suggested to Winner that his former Led Zeppelin colleague John Paul Jones, who had just completed upgrading his 24-track digital recording studio at Devon, was best placed to write and record the soundtrack. In return, Jones asked Page to help record two tracks 'Crackback' and 'Spaghetti Junction'. 'Crackback' is reminiscent in composition to material on Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door (1979).

The musical score differs in style from the Death Wish (film)|Death Wish pentalogy of films, with Winner requesting that a minimum 70 piece orchestra backing be used for the soundtrack in addition to Jones' rock arrangements. Besides Page, folk guitarist John Renbourn assists on guitar, and Yes (band)|Yes singer Jon Anderson sessioned on vocals as well as Madeline Bell, for which Jones had previous produced, composed, recorded, and played all the instruments for her solo album Comin' Atcha in December 1973. Jones sings lead vocals on 'When You Fall in Love['. Jacinda Jones|Jacinda Baldwin (aka Jacinda Jones), Jones' daughter is co-writer on two tracks. It was John Paul Jones' first full length album release since the break-up of Led Zeppelin.

The vinyl soundtrack had been unavailable in the US and UK for many years and was only obtainable on special import from Japan. The album has since been released on CD format in 2000 by WEA International. 'Here I Am' was recorded but left off the first-release vinyl soundtrack album.
