Great soundtrack collections guys! Here's mine, its been growing a bit lately. Sorry for the stock pics (and the size of some of them!!) but I don't have a digi camera at the min (nor a smartphone, etc).

Great thread by the way, I just came on here to create one similar, but no need

I'm extremely excited that the soundtrack to my fave sci fi film (and book) is being reissued on May 19th on 180g vinyl by 'Music on Vinyl'....



ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - DUNE - Catalog - Music On Vinyl

Very nice collection, oaxaca!

You've also reminded me that I need to take some pics of mine when I get the chance.

No time like the present...

Very nice collection B_E.

Are any of them original or are they all modern repressings?

As many of them are featured in other people's posts as well.

Thanks Dem.

Most are modern re-pressings - All the Death Waltz, Mondo, and Waxworks stuff (the first 5 pics) were released in the last few years. I only really started seriously collecting vinyl (especially soundtracks) in late 2012. Some of the Goblin stuff is a little older but again these are all re-pressings. I'm not really bothered about hunting down original issues or first editions. The soundtrack itself will do me.

It is nice to see companies like Death Waltz and Mondo putting extra effort into their releases by hunting down missing tracks or unreleased material and including bonus stuff such as mp3 downloads, posters, specially commissioned artwork and liner notes.

The joy i got when i bought lp's in a pre cd world was always special. The size of the sleeve, inner sleeves with lyrics and additional pictures, all added to the good old vinyl inside.

Cd's ruined it all for me. Crappy miniscule covers which suffocated great artworks. An album such as Iron Maiden's Powerslave was something to explore with your eyes for months on end. Nowadays what's the point?.

Completely agree.

I rarely buy CDs anymore (mainly because there is hardly anything being released that is to my taste that I haven't got already, rather than it being a content/packaging issue, but I do get your point ). It's more the sound quality for me. You can't beat the sound of a vinyl record through a good set of speakers in my opinion and whilst I do burn CDs for the car and listen to my mp3 player at the gym or whilst walking the dog etc. vinyl is my preferred format of choice at home. Like you say, some releases are works of art in themselves, and the recent resurgence in vinyl collecting has seen a lot of bespoke companies cropping up catering for niche tastes and willing to go the extra mile on their releases, which is a good thing indeed. Long may it continue!

I still do pick up a lot of cd's but generally back catalogue releases. Very rarely new releases. I just make a note of them and pick them up months or years down the line.

Five or so years ago and further back, i bought so much stuff i wasn't listening to it. I'd buy a cd, play it once, then never go back to it as there was something else to open, play once and put on the shelf ad infinitum....

I still have thirty or so unopened cd's gathering dust because i made a concerted effort to listen to the 4000+ albums i already had rather than wasting money as i'd done before.
