The Muppets, The Muppet Movie: Original Soundtrack Recording [RSD Reissue] (2014/1979)
Oscar has, mostly, looked after the records. Mostly. When he’s been allowed to use them, to check them out…he took a liking to my Original Muppet Movie Soundtrack and promptly “lost” the LP – it’s hiding inside the cover of any other record. We’ll find it one day. And so he’s been on about getting another copy. Well, enter the 2014 Record Store Day reissue. The album wasn’t available on vinyl across the last 35 years – unless, like me, you’d held on to the record and treated it well (it was my first record, bought for me when I was three years old…) One day recently Oscar had a wee tantrum of sorts, a pity-party-for-one in the record store. And I bowed. And was broken. And bought the fucking new copy of the record. These bloody school holidays seem to go on for fucking ever…
