"There are a few, a very few men. Remo. Mack Bolan. Jake Speed. In this case, I think Jake Speed's the man for the job."

Here is the very rare LP rip of Mark Snow's score for the 1986 toungue-in-cheek comedy/action film "Jake Speed." My heartfelt thanks must go out to fellow Blogspot user "rocket from mars" for ripping the complete album from a pristine copy of the LP as well as uploading it. Couldn't have done it without ya. Not having seen the film myself (I so want to, but the DVD is impossible to find in a brick-and-mortar store), here's a summary from All Movie Guide (modifications made based on IMDB findings):

"An adventure tale for movie buffs, Jake Speed deftly lifts scenes from detective films of the '40s through the '70s to bring an added dimension to its spoof of the detective and adventure genres. When a family gets word that their daughter has been kidnapped in Paris, her father comments that they should get "Jake Speed" to find her. However, Jake is a pulp adventure novel character, and the reaction is that he might as well ask for Batman. But lo-and-behold, the other daughter Margaret (Karen Kopins) gets a message to meet Speed (Wayne Crawford) and his author, Desmond Floyd (Dennis Christopher), and the men tell her they must go to Africa, where her sister is being held. After a certain amount of trial and error, they eventually find the nation where she's being held — which happens to be in the middle of a revolution. - Eleanor Mannikka"

After listening to the score, it sounds pretty good. I hope the movie is as good as it is when I finally see it. Enjoy!
