Hot damn this sucker on Waxwork is gorgeous: https://waxworkrecords.com/collections/vinyl/products/john-carpenters-the-thing-and-lost-cues-bundle Pre-orders up now. Ships May 5. One full bundle with Morricone's score and Carpenter's "lost cues" (rerecorded by Carpenter, his son, and Daniel Davies) together, or separate releases if you please. Not sure if this portends a possible CD/digital release as well? A CD hasn’t been released since the first release of this by Waxworks When did they release a CD of this?? I must have missed that.

Yeah, that re-recording is pretty astonishing.

I wasn’t really blown away by it. Howarth has a tendency to add things that weren’t originally there (EFNY and The Fog re-releases) He apparently did it with a few of these tracks too. And for me it just lacks that true analog feel (he sold off all that gear years ago and it seems to be soft synth now) I’d love to have those original recordings... Yeah I have it but never listened after the initial time. I don't like the sampled orchestra at all.

When did they release a CD of this?? I must have missed that. David, this is not the original recording, but an excellent rendition, EM+JC: https://alanhowarth.com/product/the-thing/ 1 Main Title (1:45) 2 Main Theme - Desolation (4:29) 3 Humanity 2 (2:42) 4 Despair (4:46) 5 Humanity (6:51) 6 Shape (3:18) 7 Burn It (1:27) 8 Solitude (5:32) 9 Fuchs (2:27) 10 To Mac's Shack (2:52) 11 Wait (6:21) 12 Sterilization (3:42) 13 Eternity (5:26) 14 Contamination (1:01) 15 Bestiality (2:55) 16 Main Theme - End Credit (4:34) Total length: 1:01:05 I don't think they actually re-recorded the orchestral Morricone score but it is rather a a mock-recreation with samples?

I was never a big fan of the score as a listening experience, but Waxworks -- like Mondo -- always provides stellar sleeve designs. This is no exception. I like the Morricone score a lot, but indeed, the cover design is nifty. Pretty cool.
