Hello ninjas,

Some great OST Vinyl were released in 2016. With the already 6th Annual Steelbook Awards happening over here at HDN we wanted to do the same and start a annual one for our beloved Movie Soundtracks on wax.

After the nomination period ends on January 15, 2017, we will add a Poll to this thread to vote for the best OST Vinyl Release of 2016.

Any OST Vinyl that were completely released, shipped and in the hand of customers by December 31, 2016 are eligible.

Please nominate your 3 favorite picks and respond with your selections.

Feel free to use pictures, to share with fellow ninjas why you've made that choice.

Thanks for the list @dan8885! I'd forgotten just how many great records there's been this year... it's going to be hard to pick my top 3.

I'll probably wait until the end of the year to vote... that gives me plenty of time to decide.

Get your votes in folks! @Flloydo @Sigill @tridon @Travis Bickle @spass @martinouchou

Yeah, I also thought some of these where 2015. Like Home Alone by Mondo, Back to the Future by Mondo or Hateful Eight by Third Man Records.
Some really strong contenders are among the list. Hard to choose.

I'll probably vote in the next days and edit if needed

I'll probably vote in the end of the year, as Mondo Con has not yet happened ^^ But I already have an idea what I'll vote.. Awesome vote idea @dan8885 and thanks for the tag @Noodles !

There's a lot I haven't seen in hand (mostly Mondo releases - Home Alone and BTTF being two of them), so they won't get my vote unfortunately. Hateful Eight and Waxwork's will definitely be up there though!

Good idea... think I might do the same then, because knowing me I'll probably forget if I leave it too long.

I'll tag you if it's necessary don't worry

I also really like all three SW OSTs. I don't think they will made my vote but they're really perfect done since they kept them like the first original releases.
And the Force Awakens OST with the Holographic thing going on could also be a strong contender!

Aha thanks.

Yep, all the Star Wars releases this year have been pretty great... they probably won't make my top 3 either though unfortunately. I think we both know what our #1 will be though.

Thanks for the tag @Flloydo !
Boy, this is seriously NOT my field of expertise! (Most of my OSTs are Cds, and I get vinyl OSTs only when they are artistically demanding that I do!).

For some reason I thought you got a few this year like twin peaks and the green matrix vinyl

Well you never know, still a few months. You might make a purchase

I DID! Like I said, I only get the vinyl OST when they are too cool to ignore!
I also bought the Ninth Gate OST vinyl this year!

I'm happy with my memory




Still need to get one of those matrix vinyls at some point

 

[dan8885]

Here's my three nominations. Maybe I'll edit later, but for now these would be my choices:

1. The Hateful Eight - OST (black vinyl) by Third Man Records
Reason: A beautiful Triple Gatefold sleeve, with soft touch cover and spot gloss blood splatter all over it, beautiful artwork choices (better than any of the movie releases), booklet and two insane big posters.
Plus theres movie quotes etched written around the label. It's easily one of my favorite records out of my whole collection.
(Pictures: https://www.hidefninja.com/communit...7-boxset-thirdman-records.73386/#post-1617954)

2. Taxi Driver - OST (tri-color vinyl) by Waxwork Records
Reason: Art by Vance Kelly on this release is outstanding and perfect fit for the movie, first time the score on vinyl and I must say it's one of my Top 3 favorite movies ever, director approved and liner notes by Martin Scorsese, Waxwork did an outstanding job here and when there was no Hateful Eight it would be my #1 choice

3. Home Alone - OST (cheese pizza colored vinyl) by Mondo
Reason: I must confess I'm a big sucker for Christmas- it's my favorite time of the year, the OST & movie IS Christmas to me, Mondo did an outstanding job with the die-cut gatefold jacket with the printed inner sleeves that emulate the "lights on" / "lights off" view of the McCallister house, the "cheese pizza" colored vinyl is a fun idea, I adore this release, it's a great third spot and I can't wait for December 1st when I start to spin it DAILY

Honorable mention: All the Star Wars releases (4-6 and Force Awakens with the holographic thingy) are top notch great releases, Twin Peaks could easily also my Number 3 and if I would own the From Dusk Tilll Dawn OST from Brookvale Records I don't know if it would've beaten Home Alone.

To sum up, it was a really great year for vinyl and especially for special edition OSTs. All companies did an outstanding job with all these beautiful and great sounding releases.
