Waxwork Records releases today the House (Hausu) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack!

Don't you hate it when you have to go to your aunt's house, only to get possessed by your aunt's ghost and have her house eat your best friends? What a bummer! We do have to admit, though, that it makes one hell of a trippy and fun film.
Nobuhiko Obayashi's "House" has maintained a passionate cult status over the 45 years since its release, and its trippy and genre-bending score from Asei Kobayashi and Mickie Yoshino is an integral part of this. However, this score has always been a bit difficult to obtain physically. While recordings of it are online, it has never been re-released or remastered. To make matters worse, the original pressings were never released outside of Japan
