Other top sellers that the label has had to repress areTaxi DriverandThe Warriorswith top-notch artwork and collectible vinyl coloring variants. But quite possibly their biggest release was theFriday the 13thsoundtrack that was “blood filled” vinyl, which was innovative and very expensive for the label to pull off, resulting in a loss of money, but a very satisfying release.
