Tenebre Soundtrack Vinyl…The Last of the Last?

album, , , , , , ,

Goblin Tenebre LP vinyl albumIt’s been fun, but it looks like the fun is about to end. We have it on good authority that the much-beloved Tenebre vinyl LP released by Dagored is finally going out of print. Once they are gone from your local record stores, they are gone unless somebody in Italy changes their mind and decides to run up some more of these.

What does this mean for us, the rabid record collectors, Goblin junkies, soundtrack lovers everywhere? Unfortunately, in the same vein as the much sought-after release of The Beyond soundtrack, prices on any remaining copies of Tenebre on vinyl released by Dagored will probably go through the roof.

The Beyond OST soundtrack CD by Fabio Frizzi already sells for $199 US for a new, sealed copy. That is utter MADNESS, don’t you think? Used copies of the CD sell for about $50. Will this also happen to the much beloved Tenebre soundtrack? Probably.

Turntabling itself has sold out of the Dagored vinyl release of Tenebre–it flew off our table at the HorrorHound Weekend show in Indianapolis, so alas there will be no profiteering from us thanks to the lack of Tenebre vinyl…however we are always looking for more copies and rest assured, if we find them we will put them up for sale here–without the $100 price tag, thank you very much!

Stanton T92 USB Turntable

Stanton-T92-USB-turntable

After you’ve purchased a couple of Goblin LPs and the Escape From New York soundtrack on vinyl, if you’re put the cart before the horse and need a turntable to play them on, you should give serious thought to a USB turntable like the Stanton T92. Yes, you can purchase turntables made in the old school mode, with just a couple of RCA outs, but why when you can get the Stanton T92 USB turntable with its USB plus SPDIF outputs.

Yes, the Stanton T92 has RCA outs, and they’re switchable between line and phono. Add to that the pitch control and direct-drive motor and you’ve got yourself a sweet little deck you can use for converting the vinyl to MP3 (including those dusty old 78 RPM vinyl records), doing a DJ battle or just chilling out to the Deep Red soundtrack.

The Stanton T92 USB turntable is not yet a part of the Turntabling gear rack, but the price is right and the high-torque direct-drive and SPDIF out is making not getting one a bit difficult. We’re just waiting to hear from a user or two to throw a review our way and cinch the deal. If you’re in the know, drop a comment and give a review–we’d love to know what you think.

WTF Bad Album Covers Harry and Terry

WTF?, ,

bad album covers harry and terry

Two things. First, it’s clear that someone’s hand is in a “bad touch” position. Second, if you saw this album cover in the store and you bought it anyway, you’re a CHUMP. That is all.

No, wait, that is NOT all. WTF is an effing VETRILOQUIST doing with a RECORD out? Isn’t the entire schtick of working that idiotic puppet supposed to be “WOW, that puppet is REALLY TALKING! I can hardly see this dude’s lips move!”

An album with a wooden puppet is sort of like turning someone suffering from multiple personality disorder loose in the studio. You don’t really know WHO the voices are, but you’re terrified ANYWAY. Why is this guy talking to himself in that goofy voice? And what gives with wooden puppets and their dental problems? Charlie McCarthy, this dude…someone get these damn things to a cosmetic oral surgeon and FAST.
