Soundtracks
Film scores, TV themes, and original motion picture soundtracks — cinema for your ears. Soundtrack vinyl at Wax Trax.
Soundtrack Vinyl Records
A great soundtrack is a film you can play with your eyes closed. The orchestral master-class scores (Morricone's spaghetti westerns, John Williams' blockbusters), the synth-soaked genre work, the needle-drop compilations that defined a movie's whole mood — soundtracks are having a serious vinyl moment, and the reissue labels are pressing them in gorgeous editions with artwork to match. This section pulls collectors from every other genre in the store, and for good reason.
What You'll Find Here
Original film scores, TV themes, motion-picture soundtrack comps, and the cult and genre scores (horror, sci-fi, cult cinema) that diggers chase — on LP, often in lavish reissue editions. Overlaps heavily with our Italian (giallo!), Electronic and Jazz sections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are soundtracks collectible on vinyl?
Hugely, and increasingly so. The reissue labels press soundtracks in beautiful editions, and original score pressings — especially cult and horror scores — have a devoted collector following.
Score vs. soundtrack — what's the difference?
A score is the original instrumental music composed for the film; a soundtrack compilation collects the songs featured in it. We carry both, and label which is which on the listing.
Where do the cult/horror scores live?
Right here, with a lot of crossover into our Italian section, where the giallo and Goblin material hides. Worth digging both.
