Waxwork Records Presents DARKMAN and DAY OF THE DEAD Vinyl Soundtracks

Waxwork Records proudly presents the deluxe vinyl re-issue of the Darkman original motion picture score. Directed by the legendary Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Army Of Darkness) and starring Liam Neeson, 1990’s Darkman is dark superhero film that pays homage to Universal’s classic horror movies from the 1930s.

When a scientist is attacked, burned alive, and left for dead by ruthless mobsters, he returns to seek revenge! Unable to acquire the rights to Batman or The Shadow, Sam Raimi decided to create his own original character; a hideous, disfigured vigilante, that is also the unfortunate victim to a tragic love story.

Darkman has bee re-mastered by Waxwork Records on 180 gram fluorescent orange and red swirl “Fire” vinyl, housed in an old-style tip-on gatefold jacket with satin coating; featuring all new artwork by award winning and acclaimed illustrator Francesco Francavilla, and includes a 12”x12” art print.

DARKMAN ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK SPECIFICATIONS:

• 180 gram “Fire” vinyl (Fluorescent Orange with Red Swirl)
• Re-mastered for vinyl from the original master tapes
• All new artwork by Francesco Francavilla
• 12”x12” art print on uncoated stock

Waxwork Records is also beyond thrilled to present George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead original motion picture score on deluxe double vinyl. Selling out almost immediately upon it’s original Waxwork release, the score to Day of the Dead by composer John Harrison (Creepshow, Tales From The Dark Side) is 100% synth driven, dark, and blends elements of tropical compositions and atonal, droning electronic cues.

Back in 2013, Waxwork Records and composer John Harrison unearthed the original, lost 1985 master tapes containing the complete Day of the Dead film score from the attic of a recording studio in Pittsburgh, PA. Through painstaking restoration, mixing, and mastering of the complete musical cues, Waxwork assembled a definitive and deluxe release of the Day of the Dead’s cult classic synth heavy score, approved by both John Harrison and director George A. Romero.

Day of the Dead fans (including myself) have requested a re-release of this long sold-out vinyl soundtrack, and Waxwork Records have delivered a re-issue of the 2xLP score on deluxe 180 gram “Blood Smear” vinyl, housed in an old style tip-on gatefold jacket with satin coating and UV spot gloss finish and artwork by Jay Shaw; including liner notes by director George A. Romero, an 11”x22” art print featuring liner notes by composer John Harrison re-created in the form of the infamous “THE DEAD WALK!” newspaper featured in Day of the Dead’s opening credits.
