Spoiler: More Pictures, Description & Tracklist

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the deluxe soundtrack re-issue to 1982’s sci-fi horror classic, JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING. Composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone, the soundtrack to THE THING is a landmark musical composition that is cold, dark, minimal, and effective.

Considered to be John Carpenter’s directorial masterpiece, THE THING is praised as one of the greatest films of it’s genre by both fans and critics. Starring Kurt Russell and A. Wilford Brimley, THE THING follows a team of researchers in Antarctica as they are infiltrated by a parasitic extraterrestrial life form that assimilates other organisms and then imitates them. The classic soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone effectively captures the cold, isolated tone of the story and film, and marks one of the few John Carpenter directed films that Carpenter did not score himself.

Waxwork Records worked for two years to ensure that such a highly anticipated and sought after vinyl soundtrack re-issue would meet and exceed expectations of the biggest fan of John Carpenter and his sci-fi / horror tour de force that is THE THING.

Features include the complete Ennio Morricone soundtrack re-mastered from the original master tapes, your choice of two different 180 gram colored vinyl variants, all new artwork by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative, deluxe heavyweight packaging including satin coated old-style gatefold jackets with UV spot-gloss varnish, an 11” x 22” poster, a custom hand assembled breakaway “ice” slipcase with 100% overall UV gloss coating, and an exclusive interview with director John Carpenter.

thanks, got deluxe
Good thing I checked the boards while waiting for a coffee at work.
btw $55 shipping to Croatia, I hope it's worth the money

Nice to see they pulled the plug on the scalpers with serious multiple orders. If more companies did that with limited pressings, maybe it would help halt those parasites. Nothing I hate worse than people who have no interest in the product whatsoever and are only out to make a fast buck..

If it stays that price then I'll cancel
My order with waxwork

That's over £14 cheaper on zavvi!!!


Do you know when it goes live?

 

[Lollard2002]

It says release date 24th on the Zavvi site so I assume that's when it'll be available. It's usually only steelbooks that Zavvi do a a pre-order.

 

[Travis Bickle]

Was going to pass on this but if that's a true price from Zavvi might order that's a big difference what's their Vinyl packaging like?

Nah they've had a few vinyl like that to say sold out before it goes up just like steels, but not many

I reakon tomorrow possibly

Yeah mate a massive difference, they were the same with twin peaks and a few others. I got the planet earth for like £10 and then the bumped the price up massively


I've had about 7 vinyls from them and only one was in a bad way, Luke cage - but luckily for me I thought it was the yellow vinyl and turned out to be black so was a good excuse to send back but annoying still if that was something else

That was also the only one they sent in a giant Jiffy bag, which I found odd considering its mondo and was still expensive. The others were the way HMV and others send them, hard vinyl boxes

@Flloydo thanks for the info I would love that Deluxe Edition from Waxwork but can't justify spending that much on one Vinyl

Thanks for the like on Twitter

As long as no one mentions the price to them on Twitter, they'll f*cking change that if someone goes "£30, What a bargain" lol

I know exactly what they are like

Also they sometimes do this and then bump them up a £10er

They did it with both twin peaks (I ordered the second one a few weeks back for £30 and they have already bumped it up to £40) they have done that a few times. It's like they allow a certain amount of orders cheaper and then raise it lol


Also just noticed they are selling the 10 cloverfield lane vinyl for £30 but the black one

Damn, would of bought that if it was the red and silver tape version

Today Waxwork answered on my question regarding the shipping cost and weight. After a "copy past" message by them I told them they should get the DHL deal Mondo did in 2015. They told me then:

"the Deluxe version is 3lbs and some ounces "almost 4lbs" We work with DHL for large orders but the cost for customers is much higher to ship DHL than USPS if it under a certain weight. For this purchase USPS is currently the cheapest shipping option."

I'm still thinking about cancelling the Deluxe. Not the 70$ for the Deluxe puts me off, I feel robbed on the 49$ shipping charge. I've paid 60$ for a 7,5 pounds package from the US to me to Germany just some weeks ago. Now I need to pay 50$ for a 3,5 pounds package? And even from a company where shipping should be discounted for bulk. That stinks.

Haha hmm... doubt they'd act on it straight away even if anyone did point out the price, as it often takes them a while to amend anything - example; I ordered a jumper from them last week which got cancelled as I was told it was sold out and would shortly be removed from their site, yet it's still on there even now.

But just to be safe... let's all send them a tweet telling them that it's overpriced.

Oh they did that to me too with Nikita ages ago

Telling me it's a mistake and it needs to be taken down but stayed in stock for ages lol

It was the glitch when it was 3 for £12 and some got away with it (big orders too) and instead of telling me truth to me and actually say we cancelled because we made a mistake they lied and told me it's because it wasn't in stock lol tw*ts

 

[Travis Bickle]

@Flloydo @Noodles didn't mention a price just asked when on sale may be a case of them only having 2 or 3 copies available as you have to wonder how they can do it for that price compared to everyone else

I think I remember you telling me about that before... disgusting but typical behaviour from them!

Mondo's and Waxwork's regular black versions do occasionally turn up for sale on other sites as a full run, so I'm assuming that'll be the case here too... although Zavvi currently describe it as being the Snow edition, which will be awesome if true!

Good on you Dan it's a tough one I would love that Deluxe but for that price would be worried about it arriving all the way from the states in mint condition especially if a heavy package will be interesting to see how they package it.
I'm waiting for
'The Exorcist'

 

[Lollard2002]

I'm still waiting for my copy of The Birds Steelbook from Zavvi to be dispatched after two weeks even though it's still up on the site for sale at 3 quid more than I paid for.

 

[Flloydo]

Did they get back to you @Noodles ?
