JOHN CARPENTER

John Carpenter's Ghosts Of Mars (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - John Carpenter recruited an unbelievable cast of musicians to record the soundtrack to this sci-fi horror film starring Ice Cube and Natasha Henstridge.  Steve Vai, most of Anthrax, (including Scott Ian), Elliot Eason of The Cars, Buckethead and Robin Finck of NIN and Guns and Roses are among the featured players.  This soundtrack is apocalyptic and an important mark in John Carpenter's unparalleled career as a Director/Composer.  Released on “Red Planet” vinyl in conjunction with the film's 20th anniversary.

DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES

Fall In Philadelphia: The Definitive Demos 1968-71 [Order Now] - Recorded in the throes of their Philadelphia folk-rock phase during the late ‘60s, this record is a collection of rare early recordings by Daryl Hall & John Oates, before their signing to Atlantic Records. Prior to releasing their debut album, Whole Oats,' these two composer-performers had sketched out a series of songs, several of which went on to become early Hall & Oates classics. A great piece of rock history showcasing that early Philly sound before Hall & Oates went on to become one of America’s greatest pop-rock duos.
