News: Jim Henson's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas Getting an Official Soundtrack Release on Vinyl


After decades of waiting, the classic Jim Henson special Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas is finally getting some of the love it deserves. Initially released in 1977 and building a cult following for the last forty and some odd years, this wonderful heart touching story has surprisingly never had a proper soundtrack release. Now, just in time for the Christmas season, the music composed by Paul Williams will see a new life as it's released on Record Store Day with 15 full tracks including one bonus song called 'Born in a Trunk'. 

In other news related to Emmet Otter, Paul Williams will join the President of Jim Henson Legacy, Craig Shemin at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, NY for a discussion on the film. So, get out there and get your copy on Record Store Day. This one won't last long.
