Twin Peaks (1990)

Death Waltz Recording Co., Twin Peaks soundtrack LP, 2016 The TV pick, and a lesson in restraint. Sam Smith's cover was approved by David Lynch, and Jay Shaw of Mondo designed the die-cut outer jacket that holds the gatefold. Inside are lyrics and liner notes from Angelo Badalamenti himself. The sound was rebuilt properly too: Tal Miller cut new vinyl masters from the Warner archives, and Rainbo pressed it on 180-gram "damn fine coffee" vinyl, finished with a top-loading obi strip. Few records match their show's mood this closely, inside and out.
