Classic soundtrack vinyl box sets

Concord Music have launched a Original Soundtrack Classics series that sees iconic and acclaimed film soundtracks reissued in deluxe vinyl box sets.

The series kicks off with three titles from the Fantasy Records archive – One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, and J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings (i.e. Ralph Bakshi’s 1978 film) and Amadeus. These are respectively single LP, double LP and triple LP box sets.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and The Lord of the Rings reproduce the original gatefold sleeves and both come with massive posters, as does Amadeus which packages the three 180g vinyl records in their own unique sleeve. In fact this is the first time the entire score to that film has been issued on vinyl.

These box sets all come with 16-page booklets and other replica memorabilia or film ephemera. For example in addition to the poster, the Lord of the Rings box comes a lobby card, a map of Middle-earth, a production cel and a sticker, while Cuckoo’s Nest includes a couple of badges (“Beware Big Nurse” and “McMurphy Rules”).

These three vinyl box sets will be released on 11 September 2015.
