Grand Theft Auto (video game) soundtrack

Grand Theft Auto is a sandbox-style action-adventure computer and video game designed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North) and published by ASC Games in 1997/1998 for the PlayStation and PC. The game is noted for its music and chat radio stations. Grand Theft Auto has seven "radio stations", plus a police band track, which can be heard once the player enters a car.

PC players can remove the CD once the game is loaded and replace it with an audio CD. The next time the character enters a vehicle, a song from the CD will randomly play. The game's main theme is "Gangster Friday" by Craig Conner (who played all instruments on this track), credited to the fictitious band Slumpussy, and doesn't appear on any of the radio stations. With the exception of Head Radio FM, the names of songs or the radio station names are never mentioned in-game. However the soundtrack is listed in the booklet which comes with the Grand Theft Auto game. The soundtrack was available on cd as part of a limited edition release of the game for the Playstation.
