Deluxe vinyl edition of Eraserhead soundtrack

The Eraserhead original soundtrack recording will get the special vinyl reissue treatment in August from Sacred Bones Records. This deluxe edition includes the LP, a 16 page booklet, three 11" x 11" art prints, digital download, and a 7" of the heartwarmer above, "In Heaven (The Lady in the Radiator Song)" penned by Peter Ivers and performed by Laurel Near. (Yes, the song later covered by The Pixies, Devo, Bauhaus, Miranda Sex Garden, Tuxedomoon, Faith No More, etc.) The 7" B-side is a previously-unreleased Ivers track from the Eraserhead sessions.

  I really like this movie. But now I’m imagining the pinging and the crying in the full sonic range that only vinyl offers. And I’m cringing. 

• [Lilly]

  Her name is Laurel Near, not Nears, I know cause she lives in the same town as me and runs a performing arts camp called S.P.A.C.E.

  • [David Pescovitz]

    Yep, my error. Thanks.

• [asdf]

  it should be noted that Sacred Bones records and packaging are of the finest quality

• [Rider]

  How has this not sold out yet.

• [Melinda9]

  I have the MP3 version – kind of scary to listen to.

• [Phil Collins]

  Oh boy. This could really make an album collection. Just think of all the times you could put the Eraserhead soundtrack on your record player and listen to it, because it is so pleasant to the ear. You could play it for your dates.

  Every time I’ve forgotten this wretched film, something reminds me of it. THANKS A LOT.

  • [Phil Collins]

    Dude, thank you! I’d rather hop in a dumpster and burrow around in hot garbage than watch or hear Eraserhead. It’d probably be a far more meaningful experience too. Brother, let us rally on this point of taste!!!

    • [scatterfingers]

       It’s not a point of taste as much as a point of emotional trauma.

      • [Antinous / Moderator]

        It’s a great way to lose weight, what with the nausea and vomiting for a week.

• [Ottavio Cambieri]

  Eraserhead is awesome!
