Tangerine Dream – Firestarter (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (LP) (Sealed/Mint)

Tangerine Dream – Firestarter (Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
LP, Album | MCA Records | Cat. No. MCA-6131 | Canada | 1984

Factory sealed Canadian pressing of Tangerine Dream’s electronic score for Firestarter (1984) — the Mark L. Lester-directed adaptation of Stephen King’s 1980 novel, starring David Keith, Drew Barrymore, Martin Sheen, and George C. Scott. Tangerine Dream — the pioneering German electronic group formed by Edgar Froese, Christoph Franke, and Peter Baumann (later Johannes Schmoelling) — were at the height of their commercial soundtrack period in the mid-1980s, having scored Sorcerer (1977), Thief (1981), Risky Business (1983), and Flashpoint (1984) in the years surrounding this release; their atmospheric synthesizer textures became a defining sound of the era’s Hollywood thriller and horror output. The Firestarter score is among their most sought-after soundtrack LPs for collectors of 1980s synth, ambient electronic, horror film music, and Stephen King–related vinyl. Composed, performed, and produced entirely by Tangerine Dream; mastered at Artisan Sound Recorders, California; pressed by Cinram; manufactured by MCA Records (Canada). Note: some copies are slightly translucent when held to bright light — a known characteristic of this pressing. Spine reads “Printed In Canada.” Sealed Mint throughout.

Please note: all vinyl is visually graded, not play graded. Grades reflect careful examination under light and represent our honest assessment of condition. Minor pressing defects or surface noise consistent with age may be present and are not always visible to the naked eye.

As with all vintage records, minor signs of age and handling are to be expected and are reflected in the grading above.
