Scanners / The Brood LP (Half & Half)

The split cover is fantastic, both films get represented perfectly. The record plays clean with minimal surface noise, and the packaging feels sturdy. This is exactly how a soundtrack double-feature should be handled.

The half-and-half cover is a clever touch, and flipping it between the two films feels like a proper double feature. The pressing itself is crisp and clean, and the scores have that eerie, analog warmth Cronenberg’s movies deserve.

The vinyl pressing is dead quiet, letting those eerie synth textures from the score really breathe. I love that the half-and-half split sleeve lets you flip between the two different cover arts so easily.
