Various – The Shining (Original Sound Track)

Managed to track down a near mint of this sounds outstanding. Shame there has never been a reissue

This shit crackly as hell. But it's still nice to have in the collection.

I’m glad the original soundtrack finally got a full release on vinyl with the OG art for a reasonable price. Not the best sounding record, but good to have a backup copy

This 2023 Yellow with Black Smoke pressing sounds awful. Noisy, crackly…. Avoid.

Will we ever get an official reissue of this soundtrack from possibly the greatest horror film of all time?

good, not great. my copy is orange and has the same issues mentioned here—it’s a bit noisy and it definitely gets distorted at higher frequencies. that said, it mostly sounds good enough, most of the time. would prefer it were yellow or black—the orange clashes quite a bit with the nicely reproduced album cover—but i’m very glad to have this despite the criticisms above.

oh, i should also add that my first copy was defective—covered in visible scratches—and puke n vomit records was nice enough to replace it with the copy described above. it’s definitely a hit-or-miss bootleg.

also it is still available at www dot stateofmindrecordings dot com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14391

I actually picked up two of these in the wild thinking they were the original thing. One is solid yellow and the other orange with black. Are these still desirable? The yellow had played well for me in the past, the orange still untested.

This is great, sound is good. x x x x

Saw this today, what the hell version is this???

Beautiful pressing and looks very “original”. B Side had some skipping.
