Notefornote Music is proud to reissue the original score to the 1989 action film The Punisher, starring ‘80s action icon Dolph Lundgren. This was the first ever film to bring the famous Marvel Comics character to the big screen. This 2xLP set marks the first time this score has ever been released on vinyl.
Dolph Lundgren is Frank Castle, an ex-cop who lives in the sewers and acts as judge, jury, and executioner to the city's criminals in retaliation for the unpunished murders of his wife and kids. Frank's ex-partner Jake (Louis Gossett Jr.) finally catches up with the vigilante as he tries to stop the Japanese mob, which is trying to take over the city's mafia operation.
