There’s nothing quite like a mood-setting score to bring a movie to life. Whether it’s a classic by Ennio Morricone, a grandiose score from John Williams, or a harrowing trip from Goblin, soundtracks are important. They have almost created their own subset of the record collecting community that desperately seeks out rare and unusual soundtracks, which we have plenty of in stock and ready to be added to your collection.
We’ve hand-picked three highlights below, and the rest of our catalogue can be seen at eil.com.
.
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Limited edition 2019 US 16-track LP, with gatefold picture sleeve and obi-strip, pressed on Neon Pink with White Splatter vinyl. Alan Silvestri’s soundtrack to the classic 1988 semi-animatedmovie. Although not sealed, this copy remains in near mint condition).
JOHN CARPENTER Halloween (Rare original 1983 US 11-track Varese Sarabande label LP pressed on Translucent Blue Vinyl, visible when held to the light. John Carpenter’s iconic soundtrack to his own 1978 slasher movie, which raised the bar for both horror soundtracks and movies in it’s time. The picture sleeve on this copy does show some age from storage, which is graded as Very Good, and the vinyl displays a handful of minor paper scuffs to show for it’s 40 years in the wild, which following a play test produce nothing more than an ambient hum in the quiest of sections. This is the first time we have seen this variant of this soundtrack here, and may be the only time we will for the foreseeable future. Essential to any soundtrack collection).
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Maniac (Rare original 1981 US 15-track Varèse Sarabande label vinyl LP, with pasted picture sleeve. Jay Chattaway’s eerie soundtrack to the brutal slasher film, which while not officially listed as a video nasty, was swept up in the panic of the time in certain areas of the UK. It has since been cited as one of the greatest slasher movies of all time. The sleeve shows some very minor wear from storage, but the all important vinyl remains in near mint condition. Original copies of this are very hard to find and this is the first time we have seen one here. Recommended).
