The big story last week may have been the grand opening of the Third Man Records Cass Corridor outpost in Jack White’s hometown of Detroit, but after taking a brief moment to celebrate, the label is back on its mission of releasing unique work by one-of-a-kind artists. Today, the imprint announced that it will be putting out an exclusive vinyl edition of the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film, The Hateful Eight.
The Hateful Eight features a score by none other than legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone, whose seminal work for spaghetti westerns such as Once Upon a Time in the West and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, cemented his iconic status despite not having scored a film in the genre in four decades. The soundtrack will be released on December 18, and it will also be available on CD, digital download, and standard vinyl via Decca Records.
The exclusive vinyl edition from Third Man Records includes a tri-fold reversible jacket with soft touch finish, a 60″ x 12″ poster, a 36″ x 12″ poster, and a 12-page booklet insert with stills from the film. In addition to Morricone’s score, the soundtrack includes songs from The White Stripes and Roy Orbison, as well as members of the cast such as Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kurt Russell, and Michael Madsen.
The Hateful Eight will hit select theatres on December 25, 2015 and opens wide on January 8, 2016. See the tracklist for the soundtrack below and watch the trailer after the jump:
