Spoiler: More Pictures, Description & Tracklist

Waxwork Records is thrilled to announce the film score debut of Léon: The Professional on deluxe vinyl. The 1994 action-crime-thriller film directed by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element,Lucy) stars Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and features the motion picture debut of Natalie Portman. In the film, Léon (Reno), a professional hitman, reluctantly takes in 12-year-old Mathilda (Portman), after her family is murdered by corrupt Drug Enforcement Administration agent, Norman Stansfield (Oldman). Léon and Mathilda form an unusual relationship, as she becomes his protégée and learns the hitman's trade.

Waxwork Records’ new double-LP release marks the very first time the film score by composer Éric Serra has been released on vinyl. Combining both electronic and orchestral cues, Serra creates a score that is tense, yet beautiful, which compliments the film’s action sequences and the childhood innocence of Mathilda.

In keeping with Waxwork Records’ tireless efforts to create the highest quality soundtrack and film score releases on vinyl, the audio for Léon: The Professional was sourced from the original master tapes and then re-mastered for vinyl by producer and former White Zombie guitarist, J. Yuenger. The packaging includes 180 gram colored vinyl, heavyweight old-style tip on jackets with soft-touch coating, and new artwork by Oliver Barrett.

• 2 x LP 180 Gram “Gunmetal” with Black Splatter Vinyl

I've been checking their Twitter every 10-20 mins throughout the day for updates, but so far they've posted nothing to say that it's now on sale... thankfully I decided to check in on HDN and saw the posts saying it was live (many thanks for the tag @martinouchou, although I didn't get the alert for some reason).

I was almost 30 mins late, but still managed to order.

I appreciate the heads-up, man. Hopefully this stays in stock for a while until I can get it.

How many days you need to wait?

I also didn't received notifications for some tags the last days. Found them when I was browsing through the forums ..

Same here mate... I came across one just the other day from a week ago! I know they don't work if you edit them in to an existing post though, so maybe that's why we didn't get an alert from Martin's tags.

Oh I didn't knew that. I edit a lot and tag ninjas. Good to know! Thank you!

Yeah, I think Andy mentioned it once and then I kind of forgot about it until recently... so obviously it's best to just make a new post with your tags if you forgot to add them in your previous comment.

For some reason I had a feeling they wouldn't tweet or say anything about it beeing available online, so I just checked their website every 15-20 minutes or so ^^

No need to apologise dude... the thought was there and tag was still really appreciated! At least you know for next time now.

I usually just use that space to ask if they can mark the package low to avoid customs, but I think they do that anyway.

I'm being such an idiot. Just got in and on wifi so I can use PayPal without issues and I'm not sure where you pay for shipping

I checked out with PayPal and it's just giving me the amount to pay for the vinyl

Any suggestions mate?

This is because you check out with Paypal only. You need to checkout through the website with adding your address and everything.

Can I not check out with PayPal at all then?
It still has my address on deliver to

 

[Flloydo]

Ignore me @dan8885 the next page adds the shipping lol

 

[Flloydo]

Finally ordered. Think that's the most I've spent on a vinyl now.
Just under £45

Haha I went through the exact same confusion when I first ordered from them... I spent about 5 mins going back and forth trying to figure out what I'd missed, until I eventually got fed up and decided to just try checking out without shipping, only to then realise it was on the very last page.

Congrats on ordering mate! Hopefully we won't be too disappointed once they arrived, which I'm sure we won't.

Not even sure at this point, man. Hopefully not too long.
