docbronze Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 43 minutes ago, conedust said: That's how I feel about many (if not most) of the reissued soundtracks that clog the market these days. I bought and quickly sold Waxwork's version of Ennio Morricone's The Thing because for all the fancy packaging, it just didn't sound that great. Picked up a gently used copy of the '82 original on MCA and never looked back. Same goes for Rosemary's Baby and Don't Look Now. Both fantastic soundtracks, but I find the overdesigned, aesthetically dubious "collectible" reissues a lot less appealing than some of the original editions, most which can still be had for reasonable sums. Would love to see the companies that specialize in this focus a bit more on worthwhile genre soundtracks that haven't yet made it to vinyl. For instance, I'd love to have Michael Nyman & Damon Albarn's Ravenous, Angelo Badalamenti's The City of Lost Children, and Carles Cases' Dagon on wax. But I'm sure they know better than me what the people want. That's a really reasonable way to approach this. The Thing was a pretty big disappointment because the mastering on that puppy was fantastic, but the wax was marred by all kinds of pressing issues on virtually every copy I've heard. But those quiet moments...whoah. Also, the three scores you mentioned get requested a lot. Probably in the order you mention them, actually. Sometimes, as I believe might be the case with Dagon, the source material isn't available or someone is trying to get way too much money for the publishing rights for an obscure property. In the end, these labels are just businesses after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 THE BURBS?!!! Please, Waxwork, do not tell me this was a meaningless GIF selection. djghost1976 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good one. I think I'm out on the subscription next year though - I've been underwhelmed with the 'subscriber' variants this year. The Burbs would be a nice surprise in general. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I've always loved the Burbs' score. Dark and sinister yet also goofy and totally 80's. That, along with After Hours, are two I'm dying to see finally pressed. jeffthomas84 and faaip de oiad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the 'subscriber variants' are better this time though. However, the Creepshow 2 poster that's coming with my current subscription definitely is a perk (still waiting on the Evil Dead 2 shirt too).

Rottengoth Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 So you’re telling me that 4 out of the 5 subscription Records this year are 2XLPs!? You get a mug, shirt, magnet, poster, calendar, pin and notebook for the same exact price as the previous subscription for this year and 1 out of 5 of the Records was a 2XLP and we only got half of the goodies you’re giving out for next year!? Bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
