The real original soundtrack album of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 film Seven Samurai. Music by Fumio Hayasaka. During the time of production, direct recording technology was not yet available, so the soundtrack was optically recorded onto film. For this release, the audio was transferred to magnetic tape, with Kurosawa himself ensuring that the sound quality remained as true to the original as possible, making this a work of significant historical value. It includes a total of 16 parts featuring both music and dialogue, and can also be used as a DJ tool.
