Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Soundtrack 2xLP Vinyl Record by Mondo x Sam Smith x Jay Shaw

Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me Soundtrack 2xLP Vinyl Record by Mondo x Sam Smith x Jay Shaw

Mondo has followed up its popular release of the Twin Peaks original score on vinyl with the release of the original motion picture soundtrack for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on vinyl!!! As Mondo explains, “Fire Walk With Me is an altogether more brooding affair than the Twin Peaks series soundtrack. Angelo Badalamenti won a Grammy for the title track of this LP and it’s not hard to see why; it’s dangerous, dark and bristling with smoky jazz so thick you can barely breathe. We went back to the master tapes in the Warner Archives and had this recut to fit across two LPs as the score clocks in at 51 minutes. It sounds incredible and punchy, but super nuanced, too.”

Twin Peaks Original Score LP Vinyl Record by Mondo x Sam Smith x Jay Shaw

Twin Peaks Original Score LP Vinyl Record by Mondo x Sam Smith x Jay Shaw

It’s finally here!!! Mondo announced yesterday that they would be releasing the original score to one of The Blot’s all time favorite television series, Twin Peaks!!! Thanks to Mondo one of the greatest scores ever recorded is finally back in print for the first time in 25 years. For this very special release, Mondo went back to the Warner archives where engineer Tal Miller cut them brand new vinyl masters. As Mondo explained, the packaging for this release “is really handsome: it's minimal, understated and (best of all) approved by both David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, which is absolutely thrilling for us.”

Also, Mondo listened to fans’ concerns about availability, so they pressed only one version of this record. This means no limited variants, but it also means nobody should miss out on getting this reissue!
