Originally Led Zeppelin guitarist and leader Jimmy Page was to compose the score. Page had been working on the score for three years (since 1973) and delivered 28 minutes of completed tape.

Eventually, musician Bobby Beausoleil, a member of the Manson family, was commissioned to complete the soundtrack.
