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.

****!!

That's an awesome slip case

@dan8885 @Noodles @C.C. 95


I think that white vinyl with the blood should of been included with this though

I'll go for whatever edition has that version

 

[Balrog]

Does anyone know what time their stuff usually goes live?

 

[karma2578]

Blue with white haze sounds like the first preview video inspired by the struzan poster

 

[karma2578]

Done a bit of looking at it seems last few releases where just after 5pm in UK

Looks great! I'll definitely order this, so hopefully they'll give us a time soon.

Just watched the movie today, it was really great, especially the soundtrack, so must-buy for me ! Really like this slipcase version, I just hope it won't cost too much..

I was just thinking about how much this edition will cost. Gona leave a sting

I'm hoping the poster and book come with the other editons, obviously I'll make my mind up when we see all editions but I really really want that white vinyl with the liquid blood

 

[Lollard2002]

Does anyone actually know what sort of money we are talking here?. They are being very very coy about pricing.

 

[Noodles]

That looks very cool! It'll be a pass for me though, as I've gone off buying vinyl lately.

Don't know.. but if it's more than $50, I'll pass.. or get the other variant ^^

Thanks for the tag, @Flloydo !
Hey! Who knew that The Thing had a connection to the floor from the Red Room in Twin Peaks?!

Naw, that is kinda cool.
Red blood center is a must! If they have a liquid red blood center, this will be killer.
(Especially if the find a way to suggest the center is a petri dish!)

So far they have been $35 + $22 shipping to uk so more than $50 (not sure what you pay for shipping to France but I imagine it's the same) and i have a feeling this slip case variant will be $40 + shipping (possibly $62 )


They are leaving this one very late with beauty shots and details. I'm at work tomorrow and can't spend all day checking the site and waxwork for info on contents, pricing and pre order time.

Well, @dan8885 (from his long history of buyng vinyl) seems to think this won't be a quick sellout, so hopefully you should have time to duck out once and check and get one. Fingers crossed!

I'm assuming the other editon is the white vinyl and blood centre after seeing that pic.
Maybe it was a prototype and didn't work out but it suits the film so much having the vinyl like that and like you say to look like a Petri dish

But I want that cracked ice slip case too lol but I'll only be going for one variant.

As long as the other editon still includes the poster and book, it should do anyway (hope the poster is the classic with the guy/ thing in the Parker and light shining out the hood)

I meant seeing all the shots and details, when are they actually going to release the info. Considering this will most likely be live in about 20 hours they are leaving it all very late

But yeah I'll defo check between 5 and 6 uk time for ordering plus my boss isn't in tomorrow so that makes it easier lol but I can't be checking every half hour


Unless this is a smaller run than previous vinyl it won't sell out that quickly. Not all variants anyway
