Original Creepshow Soundtrack Getting Vinyl Re-Release by Waxwork Records

Waxwork Records has become a go-to destination for horror collectors with an interest in vinyl, with one of their earliest releases being the soundtrack to the 1982 film Creepshow. That original pressing of the album has been sold out for quite some time, due to the popularity of the film and the impressive release, so for those fans who might not have been able to score the limited release, Waxwork has confirmed that it will be offering a new release of the soundtrack on a new colorway. The new pressing of the Creepshow soundtrack on vinyl will be going on sale on August 6th.

Waxwork Records describes the release, “Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the deluxe soundtrack of George A. Romero and Stephen King’s seminal 1982 horror-anthology classic, Creepshow. Waxwork worked exhaustively with director George Romero and composer John Harrison to produce, for the very first time, the definitive Creepshow soundtrack experience.”

“In collaboration with composer John Harrison (Day Of The Dead, Tales From The Darkside), Waxwork Records located the original, lost 1982 master tapes in an attic in Pittsburgh. Remixed and remastered for vinyl, Creepshow has never sounded better and features every piece of score music from the classic 1982 film including ‘Father’s Day,’ ‘The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill,’ ‘The Crate,’ ‘Something to Tide You Over,’ and ‘They’re Creeping Up On You.’

“Creepshow features high-quality packaging with heavyweight old-style tip on gatefold jackets with built-in booklet pages, director liner notes from George A. Romero, composer liner notes from John Harrison, the complete score, 180 gram colored vinyl, printed inserts, and artwork by Ghoulish Gary Pullin.”

The vinyl release, which is described as having a “Sea Algae” color, features:

• Old-Style Tip On Gatefold Jacket with Built In Booklet Page
• Director Liner Notes by George A. Romero
• Composer Liner Notes by John Harrison
• 11″x11″ Printed Insert
