Release Schedule
May
Zombi 2 - aka Zombie Flesh Eaters composed by Fabio Frizzi
The first time this classic soundtrack to the notorious Lucio Fulci video nasty has ever been
made available on vinyl to collectors. The Zombi 2 score is one of the holy grails of Italian
cinema, with the maestro Fabio Frizzi delivering a dizzyingly brilliant composition that holds
its own against anything composed by the likes of Morricone or Goblin.
Cover art by legendary UK poster artist Graham Humphreys, responsible for the original
cinema posters for The Evil Dead, Nightmare On Elm Street 1-5 and Return Of The Living
Dead.Exclusive sleeve notes from composer Fabio Frizzi and esteemed Italian horror expert
Stephen Thrower.
Red and clear splatter vinyl.
May
Escape From New York composed by John Carpenter
Exclusively re-mastered for this vinyl release, including 6 tracks that never made it into the
original film. John Carpenter not only directed Escape From New York but also composed
and recorded all of its music too. The score sounds as fresh today as it did when it was first
released - laden with brooding electronic pulses, flashes of Krautrock and a healthy dose of
Nu-disco, all ensuring that this soundtrack sounds as happy on the dance floor as it is in your
headphones.
Exclusive cover art by Jay Shaw (aka Iron Jaiden) one of the most in-demand poster artists
working today. Jay is heavily influenced by the abstract posters of the Polish film industry and
is not afraid to experiment with his designs. His recent work has been selling out in minutes,
creating a huge demand on the aftermarket.
Sleeve Notes from composer Alan Howarth.
Black and Orange swirled vinyl.
Future Releases
The House Of The Devil composed by Jeff Grace (June)
Composer Jeff Grace is a long term collaborator with director Ti West (having scored his
three major features). His score for The House of the Devil captures the mood of film
soundtracks from the 1970s/1980s perfectly, consisting of eerily sparse piano compositions
and light orchestral melodies that grow more intense as the film shifts gears from a subtle
mood piece into full-on satanic panic. This edition features the original 80s synth-pop inspired
opening title music by Mike Armstrong that was missing from the original CD release and is
exclusive to our vinyl version.
Exclusive cover art by Tom Hodge (The Dude Designs) the man responsible for the Hobo
With A Shotgun poster artwork and lover of classic exploitation posters of the 70s & 80s.
Sleeve notes by director Ti West and composer Jeff Grace.
Red and Black swirled vinyl
Let The Right One In composed by Johan Söderqvist (July 16th)
First ever release on vinyl for this modern day classic. One of the most beautiful-looking
vampire movies ever filmed and featuring a soundtrack loaded with dark, brooding themes
that still manage to be achingly melancholic at the same time.
Exclusive cover art by Candice Tripp, an internationally renowned fine artist who has
exhibited her work in galleries such as Lazarides (London) & Joshua Liner (New York) and
is currently represented by Black Rat Press in London.
Sleeve notes by composer Johan Söderqvist.
Red and White splatter vinyl
Donnie Darko composed by Michael Andrews (Oct 12th)
Released in conjunction with Everloving Records. Remastered by composer Michael
Andrews especially for this exclusive vinyl release, the score is pulsing, hypnotic and
captures the dark and moody nature of the film perfectly. This edition also features the
million-selling single "Mad World" by Gary Jules.
Exclusive cover art by Tom French, a fine artist that works in charcoal and has had his work
shown in Philadelphia and London.
Exclusive liner notes by composer Michael Andrews.
