    I have just received my vinyl copy today, 17 March 2023 and whilst it’s a decent pressing, quieter ages reveal excessive surface noise. It’s very noticeable on side A and ruins the listening experience. Will have to give it a clean with reference cleaning material to hopefully eliminate said noise.

      I have a promo version of this. Any other entry with that?

          A great score for a great movie. The LP and the CD both sound amazing, the CD offering an extra track. Can not go wrong with either choice really. One of Elfman's best.

            Indeed, despite being pressed on a tiny mass, this is a grandiosely sounding record. The production here is top-notch, the sound is very spacious and vibrant. I'm quite sure that the source was digital, but the mastering is a winner.

              With all due respect to the Prince soundtrack album for this same movie, this is the one to have. :) Gorgeous and aptly grandeous orchestrated themes and imagery from Danny Elfman and a hi-fidelity LP master of it to do them justice.
