Nice records! should play that Pate right now. There's also the Movements soundtrack by Johnny Harris which is similar, it's considered a classic. Same as Pate it's done as a suite and has these nice flute interludes. I just came to think even Alessandroni has similar flute interludes on some of his albums

Didn’t know about the Johnny Harris, but it’s on my list now. Thanks!

Wow @static, that's an incredible haul. You get a good deal on that NOES? I've had my eye on a copy of Starman for a while, luckily it's pretty cheap compared to the other VS records you have there.

[havershaw]

Yeah I would *love* an OG NOES. I had one as a kid and it somehow didn’t survive.

Nice haul, static, VERY nice haul. Few horror posters, and indeed film posters in general, top the original NOES art for me, I just hung up my 3D McFarland toys one from god knows how long ago. And that Baxter record is of course, as some old friend of ours used to say “essential”

New alone in the woods landed here today, haven’t given it a spin yet.

It's pretty fantastic. I've spun it 3 times over the last few days. I need to sit down and give it a full listen with my undivided attention as there's a lot going on. It has some really beautiful compositions. And that artwork is incredible.

That's an amazing haul, Static. Congrats!!

Brilliant stuff @Static!

My word, Brother Static - the Varese Odyssey has certainly gone up a gear over at Static HQ! Kudos :D

Big STBC day at my local shop. Both are fantastic!

[tim28212]

[Mateo Sanboval]

Great hauls!

Did you get that Morricone at retail price????



@tim that's a fantastic delivery. I keep forgetting to pick up a copy of Masters reissue from last year. That VS looks mighty fine though

[CrossedPete]

Great stuff @static,@tim and @jim all records that are on my list.

Man what is it about Varese Serabande releases. I just want them all. Even if I have a soundtrack on a different label if there is a VS version I want it and chances are it will sound better.

[EvanCampbell]

Static that is a total kid in a candy store haul.

Tim Revenge of the Ninja is so fun. Instantly reminds me of when I was a teenager running around with neighborhood kids..we had the full ninja outfits, including the tabi boots...throwing chinese stars into the apartment building doors. Little bastards we were.

[Hatter313]

mail day!

Both sealed but that will change in a few days.

The MOTU score is one of those early “movie music” memories, I used to watch that flick on loop and I remember getting excited for the credits because it meant I could hear JUST the music.

And here we are today

[Bezulsqy]

Well done @JimmyMike!

And those covers are out of this world @Tim.

I feel like there is a renewed 'OG Varese' energy on the board of late :)

Gotta get them all!!

Yum yum! Break those beauties out of their polypropelyne prisons, Tim!!

[ScoJo]

Nice mail day :)

Well I just low balled the hell out of a Masters of the Universe 2LP set on discogs and they accepted. Album acquired

Not sure if it’s renewed, for me VS is the the best of the best for record labels( I don’t own any Beat records but man I’m sure they rival VS) not sure why the releases are so magical but they are. Probably because they are the OGs they just sound the best. For example when I started buying soundtracks one of my holy grail records was Escape from New York. I just loved (still do) that opening theme. When I finally got a copy it was the expanded 2LP version from Silva Screen I think. I felt it didn’t sound the same. Almost like it was played on a piano. It just seemed off. Cut to a year or so later I finally tracked down a copy on VS and to my delight it sounded just how I wanted it to sound. It has that rich synth sound and honestly I haven’t gone back to that other version unless I want to hear the bank robbery or snake shake.what I have noticed is prices are going up and they are harder to find especially certain gems.

I would love to see everyone’s VS collections though. When I get home later I’ll post my tiny collection but I would love to drool/see everyone else’s

[Mateo Sanboval]

I listened to that score the other day for the first time in a long time. It's a fun one. I always forget how much Star Wars influence there is.

You might want to drop in on Comparison Corner, Pete, and check out my thoughts on the various releases of EFNY. My findings may blow your mind. They did mine!
