Track Listing:
Note: for some reason, Amazon wouldn't let me buy the whole album so I bought off of iTunes, which is a whole buck higher to make matters worse. I compared a few tracks from Amazon and the quality sounds more or less the same as this.
From the first chilling note, this does not sound like a score from today. The bass sounds extremely limited and even distorted (i.e. the exact way it sounds in the mono soundtrack for the film) but who cares since this is the only way we will probably get this. This release looks to be stereo but it really doesn't make much of a difference. The stereo field is very limited.
There is a double LP vinyl edition that includes the Christmas songs from the film which is available for separate download but I decided in the end to pass on that. I wish I would've known about the vinyl before it sold out. Now I'm gonna be humming "Santa's watching, Santa's waiting//Now you're nodding, now you're sleeping, etc etc." until Christmas.
I've been dying for this score since the first notes scared the piss out of me as a small child and after Howling Wolf Records had some snags getting the CD out there and removed the title from their "coming soon" list, Death Waltz unexpectedly came in to save the day. The cover art doesn't include a title or composer credit, just an image of (not the) Billy (from the film) in the Santa suit holding a bloody severed head. It's not a bad image but it's lackluster without words to me.
Happy early Christmas and enjoy!
