Bernard Herrmann was an American composer and conductor known for his original film scores, including iconic movies such as Psycho, North By Northwest, Taxi Driver, and Citizen Kane. He also composed the well-known "Suspense" radio show theme, which remained uncredited for decades. Born on June 29th, 1911 in New York City, he sadly passed away on December 24th, 1975 in Los Angeles.
Throughout his career, Bernard Herrmann's music captivated audiences with its unique style and ability to enhance the emotional impact of films. His compositions for suspenseful scenes became legendary in the industry.
In addition to his work in film scoring, Herrmann made significant contributions to radio drama series during the mid-20th century. One notable example is his composition of "The Wailing Theme," which served as the theme song for CBS Radio's popular "Suspense" show from 1942 to 1962.

Waxwork Records is a New Orleans based record label founded in January 2013 by Kevin Bergeron and Sue Ellen Soto. Specializing in classic cinema, horror, cult, and sci-fi film scores, Waxwork releases these iconic soundtracks in the highest quality LP packages available. The label goes above and beyond to locate the original source master tapes for each release, often thought to be lost or destroyed for decades. These tapes are then re-mixed and re-mastered by former guitarist of a well-known band. All Waxwork titles are pressed on 180 gram audiophile grade vinyl and housed in heavy old style casebound tip-on jackets.

What sets Waxwork apart is their commitment to providing a complete package for each release. Every album features newly commissioned full package artwork and design along with liner notes from the film directors and composers themselves. This attention to detail ensures that fans not only get an exceptional listening experience but also a visually stunning collector's item.

In June 2023, Waxwork Records began pressing their own releases, further solidifying their dedication to delivering top-notch quality products directly to music enthusiasts worldwide. With distribution handled by Light in the Attic Records, this label continues to specialize in film soundtracks and scores that captivate audiences with their unique blend of nostalgia and artistic excellence.
