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.

My trigger finger was damn itchy last night, but I didn't give in. I'll most likely regret not getting this within the coming months once I start seeing more photos, but the price was just too much for a single LP release.

One thing is for sure... after 24 hours, the deluxe won't be going for prices as ridiculous on the after market anymore.
 
Miracle happened! Been refunded 14 USD in shipping :thumbs: They answered me on the second message I send one day after release..

HI Daniel,

Thanks for reaching out. I apologize for the delayed response. We have been flooded with emails since Monday and are taking the time to answer each and every one. The cost to ship a 3 lb. package to Germany should only have been $35. Shopify automatically calculates shipping cost based on weight but you were not charged properly. I will issue you a refund in the amount of $14. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for bring this to our attention. We are working with Shopify now to fix this issue.

already burnt money by ordering deluxe and regular in first run but hell i might get this one as I guess it will be a second print
considering the fact I spent 50+ bucks only for shipping deluxe to Croatia, I am afraid to ask how much it will cost you to pay shipping for all versions :D

Only just checked my emails and noticed I had a dispatch email this morning. Anyone else?

I thought this was being released a few weeks later, was hoping to cancel and get it from zavvi (if it ever goes live)
 
Not much noise in here for a while


Mine arrived on Saturday

It's ok but I feel a little tiny bit let down, they could of easily fit some other goodies in the left side of the snow editon

Package and vinyl does look cool but I feel like it's missing something

Anyway I'm done with ordering direct with from waxwork now, all my packages have arrived damaged in some way or another so if other sites like zavvi or some of the others get waxwork exclsusives then I'll try them in the future
