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.

Compilations of the Year 2022

Waxwork Records is honored to release HOUSE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack! HOUSE, also known as HAUSU, is a 1977 experimental Japanese Horror film written and directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. The plot follows a schoolgirl traveling with her six friends to her ailing aunt’scountry home where they come face to face with supernatural events as the girls are, one by one, devoured by the home.

The soundtrack to HOUSE features original music by Asei Kobayashi, Mickie Yoshino, and Yoshino’s Japanese rock band, Godiego. The now classic soundtrack effectively lures you into a false sense of security. Beginning with upbeat pop-sing-a-longs and jovial tracks such as “Buggie Boogie” and “Cherries Were Made For Eating”, the soundtrack slowly transforms into a dark sonic landscape of chaos and psychedelia. The second half of the soundtrack offers a juxtaposed tone that sets the stage for dismemberment, man-eating pianos, flashing colors, hallucinatory visions, and gallons of blood seen in the film.

In a successful attempt to attract younger audiences, Obayashi asked Yoshino to include tracks from his rock band Godiego, which also makes a cameo in the movie. Fusing elements of funk, jazz, rock, and romantic ballads, the soundtrack captures the absurd and whimsical nature that is HOUSE, contrasted with its experimental scenes of horror and madness.

In celebration of the movie’s 45th Anniversary, Waxwork Records is thrilled to present HOUSE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack officially for the first time outside of Japan and reissued for the first time since its 1977 debut.
