Yes! I only got half way but I'm very impressed. Wish all colored vinyl was this quite. The few ticks and pops that are there aren't really intrusive over the music. Really enjoying it.

Yeah man I was pouring over the packaging yesterday, I’ve always loved this score and the very fact that enough people did to warrant not just a vinyl release but a gorgeously packaged and complete track listing like this is really something special. I’m waiting for the first rainstorm of the summer to sit down with this and really let it rip.

Well, the seller gave me the runaround for a while (took over a month to post!) but I'm finally thrilled to have this back in my collection, and another (N mint) Varese Original crossed off the wantslist for a very reasonable £20 - seems to have dropped in price by half since the bells n' whistles WW re-issue.

Chatting with @static last night, was saying how much I loved the first movie (second not so much at the time, but I'll give it another watch soon) and this is easily my favourite of Manfredini's horror scores. Highly effective, disctinctive, varied, flavourful - love those low cello notes that open proceedings (reminds me of Reanimator quite a bit) and glorious 80s synth stabs, but then with House but even more so in House II, an almost cartoon-ey scoring style which really reminds me of Scott Bradley's MGM work.

All in all it hits all my nostalgia nerves, tingles my spine, tickles my funny bone and gooses my gander... I frickin' love this score!

Lastly - just more praise for these VS original pressings. This one is 40 years old y'all, and the Near Mint copy which I received surely sounds as fresh and full as the day it was born. I am constantly blown away by the quality of their records, and will undoubtedly be a Fan for Life.

Ahh, so many! I mean, there's a hit list of classic stuff but tbh I'd love to have them all eventually... gotta collect em all!
