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 re-recording of the lost cues? Damn. That’s a shame.

When did they release a CD of this?? I must have missed that. frown

Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear. My point was Waxworks released this Vinyl a couple years ago and since that first pressing nobody has released CD.

Oh ok. I wonder if there's some kind of licensing agreement that prevents them from doing CD. Perhaps records are harder to "rip" or duplicate plus their quality isn't what CDs are.... even a digital download would be nice. This is one of my holy grails as far as a complete recording but I'm not buying the LP nor a record player for it....

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.

I’m in the same boat. I’d love to have it, but I just don’t care about vinyl at all. And there are a number of Vinyl-only releases that I would kill to have on CD or digital “Don’t Go In The House”, “Cruising” and “CHUD” just to name a few.

I don't think they actually re-recorded the orchestral Morricone score but it is rather a a mock-recreation with samples?

I have the 2015 Cd of "Cruising" Hybrid SACD Audio Fidelity.

Ordered. But something already tells me i will probably prefer the Howarth re-creations, which i think sound great and very close to the originals.

One thing in the press release text sound odd, though. The original recordings are lost to time? But i seem to remember they showed the original reels of it in the soundtrack featurette on the more or less recent Shout Factory BD? Or was i dreaming?

I still hope these will turn up one day. Would be a nice addition to a possible CD edition of the score.

BTW, the original CD was re-released as part of the super deluxe german BD release package about a year ago:

https://www.amazon.de/John-Carpenters-THING-Variante-Blu-ray/dp/B07MX2FNYM/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=the+thing+carpenter&qid=1586693009&s=dvd&sr=1-3


Best,
Burnie

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 would definitely buy a CD. There's no way I will get back into vinyl.

I like the Morricone score a lot, but indeed, the cover design is nifty. Pretty cool.
