One Pricey Collector’s Item: The Beyond Soundtrack

the-beyond-soundtrack-fabio-frizzi

I have it on good authority that you won’t be seeing Fabio Frizzi’s great soundtrack for The Beyond resurfacing anytime soon–at least not the one released on Dagored back in the early 2000s. The way soundtrack reissues work is that a record label has to chase down licensing rights and pay for permission to reissue the album. It’s never guaranteed that a label will actually GET permission to put out the album. I have no idea what the status of the rights to The Beyond might be, but it’s not coming out again anytime soon and existing copies fetch upwards of $75 each–and that’s for the COMPACT DISC version, NOT the LP. If you spot it somewhere used and it’s cheaper (as if), you’ve found yourself a bargain. You can search all you want for this LP, but everywhere you look it will be listed as Out Of Stock. Except where it’s being sold for extreme collector prices. If you can tell me different, I’m all ears–I’d gladly scoop up one for myself and a big handful to sell right here on Turntabling.


Funki Porcini Zombie 12-Inch EP

funki-porcini-zombieThis 12 inch by Funki Porcini is one of my favorite pieces of vinyl. Inspired by (and sampled from) the Lucio Fulci undead classic Zombie, Funki Porcini’s 12 inch opens with the last thing you hear in the movie–the hambone radio announcer’s newscast. “I’ve just been informed that zombies have entered the building. They’re at the door! YEARRRRRGHHHH!”

Priceless.

This album is a great collection of beats. Perfect for chilled out late night listening with the lights turned down to “seduce” and the atmosphere on “bachelor pad”. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…if you can find it, that is. And sorry, my copy is NOT for sale.

A completely UNRELATED clip by Funki Porcini here, this is just as atmospheric and cool, and the vid is excellent as well:
