I recorded the main title to Death Wish II
Michael Winner had asked me to write the soundtrack to Death Wish II and on this day in 1981, I recorded the main title music. It was later to manifest as 'Who's To Blame' with my lyrics and Chris Farlowe on vocals, but at this point, it's working title was
'Synth track', which referred to the initial guitar track performed on a guitar synthesiser with further overdubs with guitar synthesiser and melody lines from a Telecaster string bender.
The sound source for this was taken from a white label test pressing that I recently discovered amongst some unrelated acetates. It didn't come out at the time and it didn't appear on the Death Wish II album but it was used on the opening sequence of the film. Michael Winner was to feature music from Death Wish II in the next of the series, Death Wish III.
