Limited Edition Lita Exclusive Variant Pressed on “Scooter Yellow” colored vinyl Reimagined for the First Time in Over 40 Years – Completely Remastered for Vinyl! Featuring timeless classics, “Rainbow Connection” and “Movin’ Right Along” Album Art by Kevin Wilson Music by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher Mastered for Vinyl by Dave Gardner / “Keep believing, keep pretending; We’ve done just what we’ve set out to do, Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and YOU!”
It’s an absolute dream come true for iam8bit to collaborate with The Muppets Studio and Walt Disney Records to release this completely remastered revival of The Muppet Movie soundtrack on vinyl. (That feels sooooo good to say.) More than 40 years since it’s original release in 1979, we’ve rummaged backstage at The Muppet Theatre to dust off timeless recordings like the Oscar-nominated “Rainbow Connection” and the road trip ditty, “Movin’ Right Along,” sparing no executional detail to give this album the treatment it deserves. The music by legends, Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher, is undisputedly excellent, charming in its love of lyricism, with perfectly-honed harmonies and arrangements. These are the songs that rocketed The Muppets from mere TV stardom to the realm of rockstars, featuring outstanding performances by Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo the Great, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem (with Animal on wicked drums), and so many more. Statler and Waldorf would even approve of the outstanding album artwork by Kevin Wilson, who approached this design not merely as a commission, but as a lifelong obsession with The Muppets.
