The Iron Giant OST (Deluxe Edition)

The sound quality on this 180-gram vinyl is crystal clear—the score's emotional depth really shines through. Hearing those rare demos for the first time made me feel like I was discovering the film all over again.

I’d forgotten how much of Kamen’s score exists beyond the film’s famous cues—this deluxe set’s 64 minutes finally gives the quieter, more mournful passages room to breathe, and the alternates and demos feel like a genuine peek into the composer’s workshop. The vinyl itself is quiet and well-pressed,

The 64-minute runtime on this deluxe edition is exactly what I wanted—the alternates and demos give the score so much more depth. It arrived well-packed and sounds warm on my turntable. My only small wish is for a liner note booklet to go with it.
