This is a new, sealed item in MINT condition.
Danny Elfman, who has scored many of 's imaginative films (Edward Scissorhands, his two Batman
films, etc.), is a perfect musical partner for the somewhat macabre
director, and never more so than here, where, in fact, Elfman gets not
only to write the music but to play the part of the main character. The Nightmare Before Christmas
is an animated movie musical about the abduction of Christmas by the
denizens of Halloween land, and Elfman sings the part of Jack, the
Pumpkin King. The score is in his usual lush but threatening style (
is his biggest influence), but the highlight is Elfman's singing. Even
in his rock band Oingo Boingo (now merely Boingo), Elfman doesn't get to
sing like this. Granted, the soundtrack album inevitably lacks the
film's outlandish visuals, but it tells the story on its own, and one is
better able to appreciate Elfman's outstanding performance.
