Composed by legendary keyboard virtuoso Rick Wakeman, The Burning is the soundtrack to the cult 1981 slasher film of the same name. Long unavailable on vinyl for many years, this release became highly sought after among horror soundtrack collectors, Rick Wakeman fans and enthusiasts of classic 1980s horror cinema.

The score combines atmospheric synthesizer passages, suspenseful themes and cinematic orchestration, capturing the tension and mood of one of the most respected cult horror films of the era. Unlike many contemporary horror soundtracks, Wakeman’s distinctive musical style brings a progressive rock sensibility to the film’s dark and unsettling atmosphere.

This edition is particularly desirable as it was issued as a Zavvi exclusive colour vinyl variant limited to 100 copies worldwide, making it significantly scarcer than the standard release.
