Jim Henson’s 'The Dark Crystal' Gets an Exclusive Vinyl Soundtrack Release

Jim Henson's masterpiece The Dark Crystal celebrated its 35th anniversary last year, and a special deluxe vinyl soundtrack featuring Trevor Jones' musical score was released to mark the occasion. Finding one of those original releases for the standard price is no easy task at the moment, but the good news is that ThinkGeek has just launched their own exclusive picture disc edition which you can order right here for $39.99. Grab one while you can because only 500 individually numbered copies exist.

The exclusive picture disc features a full image of the main characters on the front and shard on the reverse. Previous versions of The Dark Crystal deluxe vinyl soundtrack were limited to basic color variations. Beyond the aesthetics, you'll be treated to over 40 minutes of music composed by Trevor Jones that was arranged specifically for an album listening experience. The release also includes a 24-page photo booklet with rare photos, production art, and more. The full list of specs and a track list can be found below.
