RoboCop: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 1987 film of the same name, composed by Basil Poledouris and performed by the Sinfonia of London. Poledouris previously worked with director Paul Verhoeven on the 1985 film Flesh and Blood. The score combines synthesizers and orchestral music, reflecting RoboCop's cyborg nature. The soundtrack was released by Varèse Sarabande in 1987. An expanded version was released by Milan Records on July 17, 2015.[2][3][4][5][6] The soundtrack does not contain the PTP song "Show Me Your Spine" that plays during the club scene. This song was later included on the compilation album Side Trax.
