Five film scores that need the deluxe vinyl treatment
Five film scores that need the deluxe vinyl treatment
There are so many great companies out there doing some tremendous work with our favorite film scores and I figure its only a matter of time before most of the major films are covered. Until then heres my wishlist. Make it happen!
Wayne Bell, Tobe Hooper, and various artists
I know what youre thinking and youre right, this film doesnt have too much of a score. Its mostly a lot of guttural noises, animal calls, and strange sounds. It still makes me feel a bit uneasy after all of these years. Theres also a few catchy country songs thrown in like Fool For a Blonde by Roy Bartlett. The vinyl reissue would need all of these tracks along with a few bits of dialogue thrown in for good measure. 
As for the record? 180g "blood sample" design.
Pino Donaggio
A creepy score from a highly underrated 70s flick. If hell had a funhouse this album would be playing there 24/7.
180g ESPurple vinyl with mannequin blue and petrifying pink splatter.
Luis Bacalov
One of my favorite Spaghetti Westerns featuring an incredibly catchy theme song. The list of musical credits bearing Bacalovs name could probably reach hell, its that damn long. It was hard to choose one, but I knew if I had to it would be Django. 
180g mud colored vinyl with greedy golden yellow and six shooter silver splatter.
Wojciech Kilar
Say what you will about the film but the soundtrack is killer (er, Kilar?) Wojciechs score is completely memorable and unfortunately has yet to have a decent release. This score deserves better!
180g mist green record with blood splatter.
Riz Ortolani
Im shocked this has yet to receive an updated release. Out of all the italian cannibal films to get a reissue Id have figured this one would be first in line. Its such a beautiful score and it really does deserve a great release.
180g green inferno colored record with jungle-rot blue splatter.
