Description

Definitely one of the hardest to find horror soundtracks to find in mint condition! Cropsey's Theme is up there with Jason's kill-kill-kill-ma-ma-ma as signature slaughter music!
Great vintage collectable in excellent condition! Vinyl is flawless
 Rick Wakeman's soundtrack to the 1981 horror film The Burning, is kind of unique in that it not only contains Wakeman's electronic score from the movie, but also full band progressive rock arrangements of many of the music cues. Dubbed "The Wakeman Variations" on  side one of the original vinyl, the Yes keyboardist is accompanied by three session men for four solid pieces of grandiose prog rock that mine relatively similar territory to Wakeman's then recent (and underrated) 1984 concept album, although there's also a strong Goblin feel to some of the tracks as well, particularly "Theme From the Burning".

The second half of  side two , contains the actual film soundtrack. "Campfire Story" is a sound bite from the film and is exactly what it says it is: somebody telling a horror story around a campfire. It may be effective in the film, but taken out of context for the soundtrack album, it doesn't hold up to repeat sessions. "Doin It" (wonder what's happening in that scene!) sounds like an Eagles b-side while "Devil's Creek Breakdown" is a country hoedown with banjo and pedal steel guitar. I don't think Rick Wakeman is even present on this track. The rest of the soundtrack is mainly sound effects emanating from Wakeman's stack of synthesizers.
