Recorded by John Hanlon and David Hewitt on Remote Recording Services' Silver Truck, the soundtrack CD features twelve songs, interspersed with several ad-libbed Hitchcock monologues.

The songs themselves include five not previously released in any form by Hitchcock, one of which is an acoustic cover of Jimi Hendrix' "The Wind Cries Mary". Hitchcock would make full studio recordings of a couple of others for subsequent albums, although "Let's Go Thundering" and "Where Do You Go When You Die" remain unavailable elsewhere. The concurrent double-LP vinyl edition contains additional songs, some not found in the film.
