Film studios are chasing a ballooning big-spending market for their scores and soundtracks: vinyl geeks.
In late December 2019, for the first time since Nielsen Music began electronically tracking music sales 29 years ago, vinyl albums surpassed 1 million copies in a single week. Among those most eager to capitalize on vinyl’s resurgence: the creators of film and TV scores and soundtracks.
Film studios are now working to target this growing group of obsessive collectors with a flood of new vinyl offerings, even though they’ve stopped releasing as much film music on CDs. “Almost every soundtrack we do now has a vinyl component,” says Universal Pictures president of film music and publishing Mike Knobloch.
“Vinyl has definitely become the most in-demand physical format for fans of film and TV music. There is an expectation among fans that their favorite property will get a vinyl release,” says Milan senior vp JC Chamboredon. “Vinyl has also become something more than just a record. It is an extension of the property. It is very common for fans to buy vinyl not for the music but as a collectible item.
Titles typically sell for between $20 and $35, although prices can extend northward for special editions. Companies like Lakeshore and Mondo license the music and artwork from the studios — McNelis prefers at least a 10-year license — and then they add drama: Bells and whistles range from fake blood splattered on horror film records to pop-up art that comes to life upon opening the sleeve. A collectors’ edition for thescore included a vinyl swirl of the TV show’s Demogorgon monster.
