Great Scott: Back To The Future soundtracks to be released as deluxe vinyl boxset
All three soundtracks for the Back To The Future triology are being issued on vinyl in a new 6xLP boxset.
Each of Alan Silvestri's original scores will be pressed to two heavyweight coloured vinyl discs by Mondo, who also recently release the soundtrack for Black Swan on vinyl. The sleeves are designed by DKNG, and feature liner notes from screenwriter Bob Gale.
An excerpt from the liner notes reads:
“I remember sitting in Universal's Hitchcock Theater with Bob Zemeckis next to me, and Steven Spielberg next to Bob. Steven had not attended any of our scoring sessions and had always been a tad uncertain as to whether Alan was capable of doing the type of score Steven believed we needed. He didn't realize that some of Al's score had been laid in for this screening. During the Clock Tower sequence he leaned over to Bob and said, ‘now, this is what your score should sound like.’ Bob smiled and replied, ‘that is our score, Steven.’ Thus, Steven Spielberg immediately became an Alan Silvestri fan.”
This is the first time ever that the trilogy has been assembled in a boxset on any format.
The boxset is due for release on 21 October.
