RSD 2020 - Planet Wax: Sci-fi / Fantasy Soundtracks on Vinyl (Incl. 7") Reading Material

The sequel to last year's RSD edition of Blood on Black Wax. It's not a *true* sequel, however, as it works well on it's own.

It's essentially the same format as last year's book, with 240 pages of sci-fi/fantasy soundtrack recaps, interviews, and full-color vinyl soundtrack artwork. This time out the focus will be tighter ('60s to '90s). However, television soundtracks will also be featured in a chapter (Star Trek, Doctor Who, Twilight Zone, etc.). In a way it's even more mainstream than the first book, with popular franchises including Star Trek, Star Wars, Mad Max, Batman, Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, Back to the Future, Superman, Planet of the Apes, Jurassic Park, E.T... plus a decent amount of cult favorites.

The 7-inch will contain unused music from Tobe Hooper's '86 version of Invaders from Mars. 'Anti-freeze' green in color / custom artwork by HagCult. Music is by Christopher Young (Pet Sematary / Drag Me To Hell / Species).
