Waxwork Records is proud to present the Us Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring a score by composer Michael Abels. Us, released in March 2019, is an original nightmare written, directed and produced by Academy Award®-winning visionary Jordan Peele (Get Out). Set in present-day Santa Cruz on the iconic Northern California coastline, the film, starring Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o and Black Panther’s Winston Duke, pits an ordinary American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

Abels featured a 30 person choir, a third of them children, in the “Anthem,” and implemented Eastern European instruments, violins, percussion, and a virtual instrument called a Propanium drum. “It makes this trashy metal sound, but you can also play melodies on it,” Abels said. “The Propanium drum has a sound that’s both otherworldly but not electronic or like science fiction. It’s a sound you can’t quite put your finger on, which is why it works well in this film.”
Also included on the soundtrack is the 1995 hip-hop hit “I Got 5 On It” by Luniz and the stand-out track “I Like That” by Janelle Monáe. Abels also helped with a new arrangement of the Luniz hit, which is featured on the soundtrack as the ‘Tethered Mix from Us’.
Waxwork is thrilled to present the soundtrack and score as a deluxe double LP featuring 180-gram "Metallic Brass Scissors” colored vinyl for disc one, and “Tethered Red Jumpsuit” colored vinyl for disc two. The album artwork was created by illustrator Edward Kinsella. The interactive packaging includes die-cut inner gatefold jackets that require customers to use scissors to cut through family-member portraits to reveal their tethered doppelgängers lurking in the shadows on the printed inner sleeves housed within. More deluxe items include a die-cut mirror board back cover, a heavyweight 11”x11” art print, and an exclusive essay by UCLA Professor, scholar, and activist Shana L. Redmond Ph.D., author of Anthem: Social Movements and the Sound of Solidarity in the African Diaspora

Grading Guide:   [ Please note – Our grading categories and descriptions differ slightly to the Goldmine and VRG standards so please read carefully ]

NOTE - [ + or – symbol suffixes denote a very slight improvement or degradation to the attributed grading but not enough to raise or lower the item to the grading category above or below it ]

*Record age is immaterial to its condition.

* Promotional releases will be denoted   in the product description.

·        New  [ N ]   Manufacturer Sealed, seal may have been split to check colour variant. Never played. Note some CD’s are manufacturer issued without shrink wrap.

·        Mint [ M ]  As New.  Never played. No corner or edge dings, shrink-wrap is intact. All additional items such as inserts, lyric sheets and posters etc... will be perfect.

·        Near Mint [ NM ]  May have been played a couple of times but the record shows no signs of having ever been played. This is highest grade allowed for an opened, handled record. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. Sleeves will be near new condition. Virtually no wear to faces, edges or corners.

·        Excellent  [ EX ]   Record surfaces are bright and clean but may have a few light paper scuffs or superficial surface marks that do not affect play. The record has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light blemish. Sleeve may have some very minor wear to faces, edges or corners of covers.

·        Very Good  [ VG ]  A well cared for used record. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches. May have some very light surface noise or isolated crackles and pops.  Labels may be marked lightly. Sleeve may have some ring wear, moderate wear to edges and corners, light creases or stress lines, and other minor defects.

·        Good  [ G ]   Record shows visible signs of wear. Some surface noise may be audible. Groove wear may be noticeable, as will some scratches that may cause clicks or pops. Labels may be marked. Sleeve will have heavier ring wear, edge wear and corner damage and some discoloration.

·        Fair  [ F ] Likely to be lots of minor scratches and scuffs with surface noise audible. Potential label marks and damage. Sleeve will have noticeable edge and ring wear and feature some tears, marks and discolouration.

·        Poor  [ P ]   Scratched, scuffed and generally well worn with surface noise audible. Sleeve will have heavy ring and edge wear and likely tears, marks and damage. We will endeavour not to sell vinyl in this condition unless it is extremely rare and can be professionally cleaned and salvaged or where the cover is in good enough condition to warrant purchasing for the cover alone.
