"Jim Van Bebber's 1988 psychedelic horror action masterpiece Deadbeat At Dawn soundtrack is now available for the first time ever on vinyl, pressed on 180 gram black vinyl, double sided insert with artwork included. Limited to 500 units. Score composed by Mike Pierry and Ned Folkerth. Deadbeat at Dawn depicts a street gang leader setting out for revenge against a rival street gang, filmed in Dayton, Ohio. Written by, directed by, and starring Van Bebber as gang leader 'Goose.' Nick Pinkerton of Sight & Sound described the film as an 'incredible no-budget mend-and-make ingenuity' that was as 'kinetic, visceral, and palpably dangerous as anything then coming out of Hong Kong.' Jason Buchanan of AllMovie referred to the film as a 'prime example of creativity and enthusiasm picking up where budget and other resources fall short,' calling the film a 'pleasantly surprising mini-masterpiece of gritty urban nightmares. Viewers may initially chuckle at how many times van Bebber's name appears in the credits, attached to virtually every component of the film's production from editing to special effects, but they will come to appreciate the sometimes subtle (and other times less so) creative touches that he lends to the various aspects of the film.' The review concluded that it was 'unclear at times whether the film is aiming to be completely serious and dramatic, or tongue in cheek and over the top, though the answer likely falls somewhere in between.'"
