Notes
The 1994 release was the first official soundtrack album to contain the original recordings as heard in the 1982 film. Several had samples from the film added, and many were specially segued into seamless suites for this release. The contents can be summarized as follows:
• Main Titles [+ film dialogue & sound] / Blush Response [+ film dialogue] / Wait for Me [+ film dialogue] / Rachel's Song*
• Love Theme
• One More Kiss, Dear
• Blade Runner Blues
• Memories of Green** / Tales of the Future* / Damask Rose* / Blade Runner (End Titles) / Tears in Rain [+ film dialogue & sound]
* Composed for the film, but not used in it.
** Used in the film, but not composed for it; originally from the 1980 album See You Later.
In 1989, several unsegued tracks were released on Vangelis's Themes compilation:
• End Titles [fades out slightly early]
• Love Theme [has a tape speed problem at the start]
• Memories of Green
The only other official soundtrack album release with Vangelis's recordings was the Blade Runner Trilogy 25th Anniversary edition, released in 2007. This 3-CD set included the 1994 album, a disc of 12 previously unreleased tracks, and a disc of 12 new songs inspired by the film.
Meanwhile, over the years, fans compiled a number of bootleg releases, including the comprehensive, well-received "Esper" Editions.

- Been offered this record for Christmas, and I was anxious about the sound quality of it. Fortunately, it seems that i'm a lucky one, and the record is very quiet with no surface noise. The dynamic could be upgraded, but it's widely enough for a good home listening. Didn't notice distortion on this one too. The other pressings are outrageously expensive. Maybe you should give a try !

They did this soundtrack a great service by pressing it with such quality. Absolute classic!referencing Blade Runner (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Red Translucent, 180g, Gatefold) AFZLP 154
Best pressing ever made! The Audio Fidelity is just amazing. All sounds come through with breathtaking precision.referencing Blade Runner (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Remastered, Red Translucent, 180g, Gatefold) AFZLP 154

Looking to buy a Brazilian 1st press LP of this one. Will pay well. Send me a DM. Cheers.- A mass produced jeopardy. The one you should get is this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/4611015-Vangelis-Blade-Runner Paid $20 for it back in the day.

This listing doesn't make any sense. The catalog number (on Full Moon no less) roughly corresponds with other issues of the soundtrack performed by the New American Orchestra in 1982, but the track list matches the Vangelis-performed score from 1994. 24 people have this? Somebody needs to upload some photos and correct or otherwise delete this listing.referencing Blade Runner (CD, Album) 4509-96574-2
Although Sakis Gouzonis is my favorite Greek electronic music composer, I have to admit that Vangelis, a Greek pioneer in the electronic genre, has done a remarkable job in Blade Runner. Blade Runner is definitely a masterpiece that will continue to inspire and influence the world of electronic music.- If you LOVE Vangelis, then you will love this soundtrack.
I watched the original Blade Runner more than I watched the 1st STAR WARS MOVIE.
“ Memories Of Green” is a TEAR JERKER
