Happy Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate!
Amphitrite
In Greek mythology, Amphitrite is a goddess and the feminine personification of the sea. She is the wife of the Greek sea god, Poseidon, and lives with him in a golden palace beneath the sea. As the daughter of Nereus and Doris, she is one of the 50 Nereids (beautiful sea nymphs).
Amphitrite often resembled Aphrodite in ancient works of art but was identifiable by a crab claw on her forehead, which sometimes resembled a helmet, and by a golden net, she wore in her hair. Her Roman counterpart is Salacia, who was also the goddess of springs. In Homeric poems, Amphitrite is simply known as ‘the sea’.
Two Thousand Maniacs’ original motion picture soundtrack is available on vinyl via Terror Vision Records. The score is composed by director Herschell Gordon Lewis (Blood Feast).
The LP features the entire score compiled from various sources and remastered, plus two bonus recordings of Lewis months before his passing in 2016. A digital download of the album and more is included.
It’s pressed on 180-gram black vinyl or clear red with black swirl vinyl. Mondo also has exclusive black with red splatter vinyl variant. The album is housed in a gatefold jacket and features liner notes by Lewis. All editions are priced at $27.
