FUZZBEE MORSE
Ghoulies II (Original Soundtrack)

"WRWTFWW Records is announces the first ever release of the long-lost original motion picture soundtrack from the 1988 cult horror comedy sensation Ghoulies II by the incomparable Fuzzbee Morse. Digging deep to uncover a true gem of the VHS era, this limited-edition vinyl release (500 copies worldwide) marks history in the making as a piece of film score lore is resurrected from the depths of oblivion. The LP is packed with 39 tracks and features an exclusive artwork by French illustrator Pierre Thyss, as well an obi and composer notes. The captivating melodies that once played hauntingly in the background of Ghoulies II were long believed to be lost forever. It took over 30 years and Fuzzbee Morse's unwavering determination to dig out the legendary recordings -- and restore them for full audio pleasure! The superb soundscape of Ghoulies II perfectly captures the chilling and wacky essence of the cult movie, as well as its creepy carnival setting. Morse, citing influences such as Bernard Hermann, Frank Zappa, and Igor Stravinsky, flexes his multi-instrumentalist skills, flowing with ease between magical fairground elements (with brilliant use of calliope, tuba, flutes and sparkly sounding synthesizers), ...

vinyl only? if they did a CD release I might be interested, based on kitch value alone

GHOULIES 4 is up there with some of the most wtf bad movies ever, and is my go-to favourite of the bunch, but 2 is decent enough

3 sucks, as does the first one (imo)

the 1988 cult horror comedy sensation Ghoulies II

Something tells me they've never seen Ghoulies II.

The German blu-ray contains the R-Rated version. The U.S. the PG-13 version, for those interested.

The fact that there will be vinyl only sounds kind of fishy:

a. They don't own the rights for a digital (CD) release.
b. They pulled the tracks from an alternative, lesser quality source (audio cassette etc). Lesser quality source sounds "good enough" on vinyl but not on CD.
c. They don't own release rights at all. This looks more like a pimped bootleg-ish thing anyway.
d. They own the rights and will do CD in a couple of years.

and yeah, vinyl is sh!t.

could be one of the reasons you stated, but also there are quite a few current boutique labels that release old 'rediscovered' stuff on vinyl only, and they are legit...

I don't really have anything against vinyl but I don't have a record player

I'm not very familiar with music boutique labels at all. I know some film boutique labels have added bonus CDs with rare tracks to the DVD or blu-ray release.

Some supermarkets here sell record players occasionally. Twice the price as they used to cost back in the day.

There is a market for vinyl but not for CD's.

If something goes to CD it might as well go to spotify or something.

Yeah, read that some time ago. I still think vinyl is sh!t though. It is said that Hipsters "brought back" vinyl.

My niece worked as a secretary for a German record player manufacturer in the late 2000s. One day they got an order from Brad Pitt, who was in Berlin filming Inglourious Basterds.
He and Angelina wanted some kind of special record player. It was priced €10,000,00 ($10,700,00). The boss of the company himself delivered the player to Pitt.

In the era between vinyl and CD they made a lot of crappy record players. The ones they make now are like infinitely better.


The record co is pretty odd. They even have cassette only releases including this one for https://wereleasewhateverthef**kwewantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/psychos-in-love-original-soundtrack-the-cassette some movie I've never heard of

edit: Well so much for that. It was something called "Psychos in love" that I now want to see
