Just in time for the upcoming May 21 premiere of the brand-new season of Twin Peaks (a.k.a. the ORIGINAL “Show-About-Nothing”) on Showtime — not to mention pretty insanely hot-on-the-heels of the recent vinyl reissues of the OST’s for both Fire Walk With Me AND Twin Peaks that came out at the end of last year via Death Waltz — the hardworking dads over at good ol’ Rhino have just announced that they too will be releasing vinyl editions of both of those bizarre, beloved, Angelo Badalamenti-composed soundtrack albums.
Unlike those previous reissues, which featured snazzy new packaging designs and were US-only, the Rhino ones are aimed at the much classier “UK market” and restore the original artwork. They’re out on Friday, May 19 — which gives you exactly forty-eight hours to listen-to, digest, re-listen-to, ponder, prominently-display, and nonchalantly assimilate each soundtrack into your pop-cultural worldview before season three of the show starts up again.
