This is such amazing news. I've had the Sophtware Slump Deluxe Edition (2011) repress in my discogs wishlist forever but I've really been holding out hope for a 20th anniversary edition, because of the prices for a new(ish) one are steep. I also already have the original on wax, like @TenderLovingKiller® mentions, but everyone, this 4LP collection is so much more than even that incredible album. They were in such a creative flow during those sessions that the rarities tracks on LP 3 and LP4 contain some of Grandaddy's best work, imo. Which is saying A LOT given how incredible the 11 original tracks on the album are! For example, "Wonder Why in L.A.", "I Don't Want Record Anymore", "XD-Data-II", "Our Dying Brains", "First Movement / Message Fade", "What Can't Be Erased", "She Deleter" and "Wives of Farmers" are incredible songs. AND, we get a full new LP containing never heard (as far as I know) piano versions of the original album's songs.

I am so excited. And while the price tag is steep, and I rarely buy expensive things like this, 4LP @ $20 each is reasonable at least. For me it's an instabuy, and I can't wait to spin this.

Not helping 😂 Was hoping for just the album, but this sounds pretty great.

I'm off on a quest to confirm that now... because I'd love to get this deluxe set, but I'd also love not to spend $80!

@LeSamourai: I might have misinterpreted in my haste (sorry!). In this (linked) Rolling Stone article, it's the "wooden piano" version that's slated for a 2021 release: "In addition to the remastered original LP and the “wooden piano” version — which will get a standalone release in 2021"

That's also very cool, and I'm psyched about hearing the "wooden piano" versions (the version of Jed's Other Poem is out now on streaming services, and it's gorgeous). That said, I've been drooling over spinning those b-sides and rarities on LP3 and LP4 for so long. So I had to go with the 4LP.

If it ends up being available at my local where I can a 20% coupon or Amazon for a reduced price I may jump on it but $80 is too steep for me at this point (I think).

Waxwork Records is proud to release John Carpenter’s Escape From New York Expanded Original Motion Picture Score. Released in 1981, Escape From New York is a science fiction action film co-written and co-scored by John Carpenter starring Kurt Russell, Donald Pleasence, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton. The film is set in the near-future world of 1997 where the United States has devolved into a coast to coast crime-ridden continent. Manhattan Island in New York City has been converted into the country’s maximum-security prison where criminal offenders are transported and forgotten. In an effort to kidnap the president of the United States, Air Force One is hijacked by insurgents and purposefully crashed into New York City. Ex-soldier and current federal prisoner, Snake Plissken (Russell) is given just 24 hours to go in and rescue the president (Pleasence), after which, if successful, Snake will be pardoned.

John Carpenter’s Escape From New York received commercial success upon its summer 1981 release and is now considered a cult classic. The film has inspired popular video games such as Metal Gear Solid, filmmakers such as J.J. Abrams, and authors such as William Gibson.

The score was written by John Carpenter and co-produced by Carpenter and Alan Howarth. Howarth used equipment including ARP and Prophet-5 synthesizers and a Linn LM-1 drum machine, as well as an acoustic piano and Fender guitars, to create the palette of sounds used in the score, while Carpenter composed the melodies on the synthesizer keyboards. As the MIDI standard had yet to be invented, Howarth manually synchronized the equipment to picture while listening to a copy of the film's dialogue. Initial inspirational directions which Carpenter shared with Howarth included albums by Tangerine Dream and The Police.

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the expanded score album as a deluxe double LP featuring 180 gram colored vinyl, deluxe packaging, a 12”x12” twelve page booklet featuring unreleased behind-the-scenes set photography, and full album artwork by Marc Aspinall.

John Carpenter’s The Fog 40th Anniversary Original Motion Picture Score

SACRED BONES Exclusive Variant Features:

  • Limited to 500 copies
  • The Expanded and Complete Score Album by John Carpenter
  • 180 Gram Coke Bottle Clear with Red and White Splatter Vinyl double LP
  • Old Style Tip-On Gatefold Jackets

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the 40th Anniversary Original Score release of John Carpenter’s THE FOG. The Fog is a 1980 American supernatural horror film directed, co-written, and scored by John Carpenter. It stars Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Atkins, Janet Leigh, and Hal Holbrook. It tells the story of a strange, glowing fog that sweeps over a small coastal town in California, bringing with it the vengeful ghosts of mariners who were killed in a shipwreck 100 years before.



The film is considered a cult classic and a favorite among horror fans. The Fog was Tom Atkins’ first appearance in a Carpenter film. He later appeared in other Carpenter films such as Escape From New York and Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Jamie Lee Curtis, who was the main star of Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic, Halloween, appears in The Fog as Elizabeth.

The music to The Fog by John Carpenter is a synth driven, minimalist score. The director/composer considers it to be one of his best musical works. It features dark, ambient drones, piano, and utilizes heavy usage of early synthesizers such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Prophet 10, and Minimoog Model D. Carpenter strived to achieve a softer, understated fear rather than a heavy handed, and obvious musical composition to a horror film. The now classic score successfully captures the haunting emptiness of the 1980 gothic-ghost-story to The Fog.

Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the 40th Anniversary expanded release of John Carpenter’s The Fog Original Motion Picture Score. It features a 180 gram double LP album, colored vinyl, deluxe packaging, a 12”x12” twelve page booklet including unreleased behind-the-scenes set photography, and full album artwork by Jérémy Pailler.
