Purple Haze (film) - Soundtrack

Soundtrack

Purple Haze is perhaps best remembered for its soundtrack, that consists mainly of period rock from the mid-to-late 1960s. Whether or not the songs were licensed with the filmmakers remains unknown, leading many to believe that this is the reason that an official DVD release has yet to come. The 1981 animated film Heavy Metal faced similar issues that were resolved in the late 1990s when the film finally received a proper DVD release.
