Back in 1984, when filmmaker Ivan Reitman released “Ghostbusters,” starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver, he probably had no clue the film would turn out to become one of the best comedy films of all time and have such a devoted fanbase that 35 years later, people would angrily debate it on a seemingly daily basis. But here we are, in 2019, and “Ghostbusters” is arguably more popular now than ever before.

And in honor of the film’s 35th anniversary, and the re-release of the film’s score by Elmer Bernstein (“The Magnificent Seven,” “To Kill a Mockingbird”), we are thrilled to share two exclusive, previously unreleased tracks from the film’s soundtrack. Shockingly, if there’s anything that the average person on the street remembers about “Ghostbusters,” it’s probably the music. The “Ghostbusters” theme is perhaps one of the most memorable songs in film history, let alone one of the biggest hits of the 1980s. And now, for the first time ever, the soundtrack for the film is going to be available on just about every format, with new tracks, as well as newly mixed and remastered songs.
Peter Bernstein, son of the late Elmer Bernstein, says, “As one of the original orchestrators on ‘Ghostbusters,’ it has been very satisfying and also very moving to work on this soundtrack release 35 years down the road. It is a great movie with great music and we had a whole lot of fun creating it. I am very pleased to see it released in its original form.”
You will be able to purchase the soundtrack on Digital and CD on June 7, with a vinyl release planned for July 19.
Here are the two exclusive tracks:
