Our friend over at The Fire Wire brought this one to our attention and we’re glad he did because it completely slipped by our radar. (Thanks Larry)  Disney Music Emporium is currently taking pre-orders for a very special edition of Danny Elfman’s “Nightmare Before Christmas.”

Since October of 1993, we have been in love, yep, in LOVE with Tim Burton’s Halloween/ Christmas tale, “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” We love it so much that we own a 6 foot tall Jack Skellington poster smack dab in our living room.  One of the things that makes this film so enchanting is Danny Elfman’s mesmerizing soundtrack.  THIS vinyl version is a MUST have for fans of this magnificent masterpiece of stop motion storytelling.

The soundtrack to the holiday film, The Nightmare Before Christmas, features Danny Elfman, who has scored many of Tim Burton’s imaginative films (Edward Scissorhands, his two Batman films, etc.), is a perfect musical partner for the somewhat macabre director, and never more so than here, where, in fact, Elfman gets not only to write the music but to play the part of the main character. 12″ Zoetrope Picture Disc displaying art from the film.
