Back in early 2014, we posted that Death Waltz would be releasing the vinyl soundtrack to the murder mystery TV series “Twin Peaks“, which was composed by Angelo Badalamenti. Since then, there had been pretty much a lot of radio silence on the title due to multiple factors, including the necessity for director/co-creator David Lynch to approve the artwork. But today marks the day we get to see what’s in store for us as well as a date for when we can buy the record…and it’s sooner than you think!
Coming this Wednesday via Mondo will be the vinyl, which comes on 180g “damn fine coffee color” vinyl. The packaging includes artwork by Sam Smith and includes sleeve notes from Badalamenti, who states, “I’m glad that after 25 years, Death Waltz Recording Company has re-released the original soundtrack for Twin Peaks for a new audience to enjoy. This is my defining work as a composer and I’m happy it will get a fresh listen.”
Below is the artwork and a look at the record itself, courtesy of WelcomeToTwinPeaks.
Diane, you damn well better believe that I’ll be picking up a copy as this is something I’ve been waiting YEARS for. Time to get my coffee pot brewing and enter the Black Lodge.
