Waxwork Records has announced that they will be releasing Joseph LoDuca‘s score to the 1987 horror comedy Evil Dead II on limited edition vinyl. As someone who owns several Waxwork titles, I can tell you that this is incredible news and makes me extremely excited for the final product!
However, there’s a very cool twist to this release. Rather than go with the popular vinyl artists that are being used by nearly everyone these days, they want the fans of the film to have a say in the package design!
Here’s what they write:
We’re letting YOU, the fans, design the LP release! This is certainly unchartered territory for any record label, but we feel that this film and score is a beloved horror gem, and only the hardest of the hardcore EVIL DEAD 2 fans can come up with the BEST possible LP package.
Over the next few weeks, we will allow any one and every one of you hardcore DEADITES to choose the artist, the vinyl colors, contribute liner notes, and more! Waxwork will set up a polling system that will allow you to choose how YOU would like our upcoming EVIL DEAD 2 deluxe soundtrack to look, feel, and more!
EVIL DEAD 2 is scheduled as a 2016 release. Put your thinking caps on, polish your chainsaws, and let’s get groovy.
I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen but I’m really curious to see how this is going to play out! And the fact that Waxwork is doing this really shows just how much they value their customers, the property itself, and, perhaps most importantly, the fans of the series, who are some of the most rabid fans alive!
