AudioFidelity Blade Runner Vinyl Contest

Our friends at AudioFidelity  have given me one copy of the Blade Runner soundtrack to give to a lucky CVR blog reader!

The BLADE RUNNER soundtrack was composed by Vangelis for Ridley Scott's 1982 film considered one of the finest sci-fi movies ever made. It is mostly a dark, melodic combination of classical compositions and synthesizers which mirrors the futuristic film noir envisioned by Scott. The soundtrack holds legendary status and at the time was well-received by fans and critics including Best Original Score nominations for a BAFTA and Golden Globe yet, except for a few cuts, it was not released until 1994.

The movie remains a classic film with a long list of popular movie stars including Harrison Ford, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos most of whom appear on this record in movie dialog samples mixed into the 12 tracks of nearly one hour of music. Vangelis makes each track flow into one another. The soundtrack features vocal contributions from Demis Roussos and the sax solo by Dick Morrissey on "Love Theme." The gatefold jacket includes many colorful stills from the film. BLADE RUNNER is a timeless classic on film and now on 180g transparent red vinyl.

“The music is beautiful, poignant, exciting and mysterious.”

"...one of the most memorable and important soundtracks in movie history."

Haujobb 2LP Vinyl To Be Released on Artoffact Records

German electronic group Haujobb will be releasing their 2011 album New World March as a double vinyl this Spring on Artoffact Records. The vinyl will be available in two editions: a limited to 50 copies translucent version and a standard black vinyl in 250 copies. The limited version will also come with an exclusive cassette that includes the EP Dead Market, which was also released on CD in 2011. These are the first vinyl or cassette releases that Haujobb has ever released for retail.

The double-vinyl will include two bonus tracks that were previously digital only. Neither track has ever appeared on an official Haujobb release, although the group comments that both tracks were "part of the New World March sessions." The post-apocalyptic artwork for both vinyl and cassette was done by Stefan Alt, also head of the influential ant-zen and hymen records labels.

Music Record Shop Weekly

Welcome to the new weekly feature (look for it every Friday) called MusicRecordShop Weekly.  Here we take a look at new releases and some hard to find vinyl that will easily satisfy even the most serious record collectors.  Here's three that we think you will enjoy!

1. THE BEATLES - YELLOW SUBMARINE (VINYL LP OST) 

Admittedly, the soundtrack to Yellow Submarine wasn't one of the highlights in the Beatles' catalog, so providing an official alternate version of it is no big deal. The soundtrack always felt cobbled together, because it was. It only contained four new songs -- two of which were written by Harrison, which indicates how seriously Lennon and McCartney took the project, if their enjoyable throwaways ("Hey Bulldog" and "All Together Now," respectively) didn't provide enough of a clue -- plus two previously released songs ("All You Need Is Love," "Yellow Submarine") and a side of George Martin instrumentals from the film's score. the Beatles never assembled a slighter album while they were active, so it wasn't a sacrilege when their organization decided to assemble a "songtrack" -- a soundtrack that featured only the songs in the film, not any of the instrumentals -- to coincide with the re-release of the film in 1999. In a way, the "songtrack" (which is what the Beatles' associates insisted on calling the new effort) is an improvement on the soundtrack since it eliminates dead weight and strengthens the original six songs with nine songs featured in the movie ("Eleanor Rigby," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," etc.). It's a little jarring not to hear the songs from the soundtrack in a different order on the songtrack, but ultimately the record is entertaining, if a bit familiar. That's not the case with the sound, though. the Beatles have decided to make this the first remixed CD in their catalog. The differences are slight but often notable and never really an improvement; as a matter of fact, it could likely be enough to irk, possibly anger, longtime Beatlemaniacs. It helps distinguish the Yellow Submarine "songtrack" as much as the new sequencing.

Musicology 101

Let's have a little fun, so here are some rock and roll nuggets so you can win at music trivia games and become a top musicologist!

In February 1949, after RCA Victor introduced the first 45 rpm phonograph, they put together a promo package of seven 45s that were sent to US disc jockeys and retailers. The records were color coded for classification of music. Popular - Black; Classical - Red; Popular Classical - Midnight blue; Children's - Yellow; Country and Western - Green; Rhythm And Blues - Cerise; International - Sky blue.

The Righteous Brothers' hit "Unchained Melody" was never intended to be a single. It was recorded as an album cut and later pressed on the "B" side of the 45 "Hung On You". When it was released, DJs flipped the disc over and "Unchained Melody" quickly rose to #4 in the US and #1 in the UK.

Before assembling AC/DC, Malcolm Young played with the Velvet Underground- not THE Velvet Underground; Young’s band mates were Australians who simply stole the name.

One of Motley Crue’s earliest stage gimmicks was to light their pants on fire. Brings new meaning to the term- ‘liar, liar-pants on fire.’

Lesley Gore's first album was called "I'll Cry If I Want To" which consisted of songs completely devoted to crying.

The most expensive guitar in the world is a Fender Stratocaster once owned by Eric Clapton. Nicknamed "Blackie", it sold at auction for $959,500. on June 25th, 2004.

Elvis Presley was a devoted animal lover. He owned dogs, mules, horses, peacocks, chickens, a turkey and had a silly mynah bird that said, “Elvis! Go to hell!”

We all know that Elvis loved his food. “I like it well-done,” the legendary icon stated. “I ain’t ordering a pet.”

In January, 2005, on what would have been Elvis Presley's 70th birthday, "Jailhouse Rock" was re-released in the UK where it went straight to #1. At over 47 years after its original release, it became the oldest recording ever to top the UK charts.

Songwriter Tommy Durden showed his partner Mae Axton a newspaper story about a suicide victim who had left a one-line note that said "I Walk A Lonely Street". The pair added "Heartbreak Hotel" to the line and in 22 minutes had written Elvis Presley's first million seller.

"DJANGO UNCHAINED" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Vinyl Now Available

The best way to experience the "DJANGO UNCHAINED" ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK is on the special edition vinyl release available in stores now.

Coinciding with the Academy Award-winning film's DVD and Blu-Ray release, the vinyl is perfect for record aficionados, Quentin Tarantino diehards, and all music lovers alike. The 2-LP package includes 2 180-gram red splattered records in a double gatefold package and full-size artwork.

Recently, legendary writer and director Tarantino's latest epic was honored with two Academy Awards including "Best Original Screenplay" and "Best Supporting Actor" for Christoph Waltz. In addition, Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington received NCAAP Image Awards for "Best Supporting Actor" and "Best Supporting Actress", respectively.

To date, the soundtrack has sold over 300K copies worldwide. Meanwhile, the film from Tarantino won the Golden Globe Award "Best Original Screenplay" and "Best Original Screenplay" and "Best Supporting Actor" for Christoph Waltz at the BAFTA Awards. It's nominated for a total of 5 Academy Awards including "Best Picture, "Best Original Screenplay", "Best Supporting Actor" [Waltz], "Best Cinematography", and "Best Sound Editing".

At the box office, the movie galloped right to the top. Upon its Christmas Day release, "DJANGO UNCHAINED" made $15 million dollars and debuted at #2--a record for an R-rated film. Since then, it's become Tarantino's highest grossing and most successful film to date.

The soundtrack matched the film's level of esteem and fervor. Entertainment Weekly featured it on the "Must List", and Rolling Stone wrote, "'DJANGO UNCHAINED' marks the first time Tarantino has collaborated with artists to create original music for his film and soundtrack. Four original songs from the film were also short-listed for "Best Original Song" at the Academy Awards.
