DEATH WISH II: THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - MUSIC BY JIMMY PAGE is a soundtrack album by Jimmy Page, released by Swan Song Records on 15 February 1982, to accompany the film Death Wish II. Though the soundtrack for DEATH WISH II may not sound like an interesting record on the surface, it is actually a significant release for any number of reasons. For one thing, it was the first album that Jimmy Page recorded and released after the breakup of Led Zeppelin. In addition to containing Page's work with a full orchestra, there are several pieces that showcase his well-established ability to create eerie, unnerving guitar and synthesizer lines, mainly to serve as accompaniment to the film. Page also delivers three fully composed rock songs, "Who's To Blame", "Hypnotizing Ways" and "City Sirens". The songs are appropriately creepy and foreboding, and his playing is just as impressive as it was in the Zeppelin era. Though this is hardly the place for Page neophytes to begin, listeners interested in discovering a new, interesting side of him should listen this out.

The sudden death of drummer John Bonham in September 1980 didn’t just spell the end of Led Zeppelin. For a time, the surviving members of the band disappeared completely from the spotlight. Guitarist Jimmy Page was the first to release new material – though not in the short-lived XYZ supergroup with Yes members Chris Squire and Alan White, which never released an album. Instead, it was a last-minute soundtrack composition for DEATH WISH II, issued on 15th February 1982. The genesis for the project came about when the movie's director – Michael Winner, who happened to be Page’s next-door neighbor – rang up the guitarist and pitched the idea. Page was given only a few weeks to put the music together, and immediately hunkered down. Doing a soundtrack to the sequel of a 1974 movie starring Charles Bronson as a vigilante seeking street justice for the murder of his wife and assault on his daughter gave Page the opportunity to explore avenues he wasn't able to in Led Zeppelin. The instrumental pieces, which make up the bulk of DEATH WISH II, had Page laying down some truly sinister sounding material, most notably the nearly six-minute “The Chase.” Working with an orchestra led to some interesting moments too. “Hotel Rats And Photostats” could easily be confused with a Bernard Herrmann outtake from Psycho or Cape Fear. There’s also some fun, almost funky moments on “Jam Sandwich” and the downright jaunty “Big Band, Sax, And Violence”, both of which blatantly hint at the Isley Brothers classic “It’s Your Thing”. Three tracks featured vocals, and Page tapped English blues singer Chris Farlowe for two of them: “Who’s To Blame” and “Hypnotizing Ways (Oh Mamma)'', which bookend the album, respectively. Page revisited DEATH WISH II in 2011, releasing it on his official website on heavyweight vinyl, limited to 1,000 copies, with the first 109 signed by him. The soundtrack came out again in 2015 as part of the Box Set Sound Tracks, a four-disc collection featuring Page’s aborted work on the Kenneth Anger film Lucifer Rising, DEATH WISH II and a bonus disc, Death Wish II: Expansion, which featured alternate versions of the original songs along with leftover material.
