Batman Soundtrack by Prince

batman soundtrack by Prince

The way I heard it back in the day, Prince was asked to write a few tunes for the Tim Burton Batman movie,  but Prince flipped out and wrote an entire album’s worth of material. Who cares if it’s true? It’s a great story and I can just see him sweating over those synths trying to capture the essence of Bruce Wayne and the caped crusader with no thought at all about how the tracks might fit into the final movie.

The Prince Batman soundtrack has a few EXCELLENT tracks, including The Future, and of course, Batdance, which samples Jack Nicholson howling “This town needs an enema!” How can you go wrong? Lemon Crush is pretty sweet, too.

The Batman Soundtrack by Prince is a new, sealed compact disc. Buy it now from Turntabling for $12.00 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is available.






The Deadly Spawn Soundtrack CD

For Sale, , , , ,

Now selling here at Turntabling–a very limited number of copies of The Deadly Spawn OST CD…this fun 80s horror anomaly was one of my holy grail movies–I had read about it as a kid in Fangoria magazine, had ogled the bloody pics of the Deadly Spawn special effects, and just never got a chance to view it in all its great, cheesy 80s glory until I tracked it down years later in a video rental store in Japan, of all places.

Of course, the version I got was called Return of the Aliens’ Deadly Spawn…no cash in attempts THERE, eh? It was also released as Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn.

I’ve got a very small number of The Deadly Spawn soundtrack CDs for sale here while supplies last, and for collectors and a few rabid fans of the movie, it’s worth its weight in gold. Or at least, chesse. Who doesn’t love those synth sounds? I only wish I could land a gig scoring movies like this for quick cash–I’ve got the synthesizer gear and a penchant for toothy aliens!

The Deadly Spawn is a new, sealed compact disc. Buy it now for $17.00 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is available.

WTF: At Play With The Playmates

WTF?, , , , ,

WTF BAD ALBUM COVERS AT PLAY WITH THE PLAYMATES

I don’t want to know what the boys in THIS band were thinking when they approved this unfortunately candid shot for At Play With The Playmates. The facial expressions alone are priceless. Look at “Lucky Pierre” in the middle there, he’s clearly the only one enjoying himself here…take that however you please, but the guy in the rear has “new hernia” written all over his face, while the gent in the front seems to have a sort of Glenn Beck outrage going on, combined with a case of sudden nausea. “Did you just touch my buttocks?”

At Play With The Playmates? This album has a sort of sub-par Four Seasons vibe to it, and it quickly wears out its welcome unless you’re a fan of the genre–and I’m definitely not. I’ll pass on the adenoidal shrieking, thanks very much. This album cover is damn amusing though. Just what ARE The Playmates playing at? It look suspiciously as though they’re all trying to cop a cheap jolly off the vibrations of a poorly tuned up moped.

Can You Sell Vinyl on CD Baby?

editorial, , , ,

new vinyl

A while back, I sent a query out to CDBaby asking about the possibility of selling a vinyl album or in addition to digital downloads and compact discs. Vinyl junkies take note, the official word from CD Baby is good news–vinyl is most welcome. From the CD Baby rep, Deena:

“Sure, we can list vinyl at CDBaby. We prefer if it matches an album on CD that is already for sale or will be for sale here, but isn’t required. Just makes things easier for the set up, as you’ll see.”

According to CD Baby, if you already have an album for sale on CD Baby and want to start selling vinyl copies, all you have to do is send five copies (contact CD Baby directly for details about sending more for in-store distro, etc.).

Vinyl submitted as a “stand alone submission” (as in, there are no other formats to be sold) must be signed up in the same way as a new CD or digital download. You’ll need a UPC code or you can purchase one from CDBaby. Again from the rep:

“Then, we’ll need an audio cd that matches the audio on the record so that we can post your clips and/or digitally distribute the album. You can send that with the first five records you send us. Please keep in mind, we might have to take a different cut than $4 per physical copy sold, shipping costs are sometimes more than it is for CDs.  We’ll have our receiving manager check it out once it arrives.”

Don’t forget about the cover art!  Just like with CD Baby CDs, you’ll need to send  a 1000 x 1000 pixel tiff file at 300dpi (with no compression) to CD Baby. This is great news for anyone who wants to get more ears on their vinyl release but doesn’t know where to start with distribution, etc. This CD Baby page has plenty of information on signing up and getting started. And, yes, Turntabling Records does have some material distributed via CD Baby, including all the titles found in the upper right corner of our site under “Download Turntabling Records albums”
