The second instalment in George Millers disturbing post-apocalyptic film series, The Road Warrior (1981), saw Mel Gibson return as Mad Max Rockatansky to defend a community from a violent band of raiders. The film won a clutch of awards, was a box office hit and has achieved cult status, helped by its stylised costumes and sets. The last Mad Max film (Mad Max: Fury Road) was released in 2015, receiving ten Academy Award nominations. Australian composer Brian May wrote the music to the first two films (Mad Max and Mad Max 2 : The Road Warrior) as well a host of feature films including Patrick, Gallipoli, Freddys Dead : The Final Nightmare and Dr. Giggles. He won multiple awards during his lifetime and is feted as one of Australias most highly rated soundtrack composers. This release was originally issued for Record Store Day 2019 on Sand with Oil Splatter coloured vinyl.
