Fritz the Cat is the 1972 soundtrack album to the Ralph Bakshi directed animated film of the same name.
The soundtrack features a number of blues, funk and rock and roll songs as well as the film's score, which consists of soul-jazz performed by Ed Bogas and Ray Shanklin.[1]
The album was originally released on Fantasy Records in 1972. It was later re-released in 1996 on compact disc as part of a compilation that featured both the soundtracks to Fritz the Cat and another Ralph Bakshi feature, Heavy Traffic, on the same disc.
Various musical cues and instrumental songs from the film are not featured on the soundtrack and remain unreleased to this day. On November 23, 2018, Varese Sarabande Records reissued the soundtrack on a picture disc LP.
