Though it was directed by Tony Scott, the 1993 flm True Romance displayed
all the signature themes and images of its writer, Quentin Tarantino, from its
grisly violence to its B-movie homages to its gleeful amorality. And the same
could be said of the soundtrack; alongside composer Hans Zimmer’s riff on
Carl Orff (which itself was an homage to another
violent road movie, Badlands), True Romance offered a playlist that smacked of
Tarantino in its embrace of rockabilly (Charlie Sexton, Chris Isaak), grunge
(Soundgarden), honky-tonk (Shelby Lynne), and romantic machismo (Robert
Palmer’s take on “[Love Is] The Tender
Trap”).Vinyl would seem a natural for such a “warped” soundtrack; and, for
this 25th Anniversary reissue, we’ve crafted a custom jacket sporting
production stills from the flm. What’s more, this release of True Romance
comes in clear with white splatter vinyl limited
to 1700 copies! Consider this a homage to one of the greatest cult classic flms
of all time…don’t miss out on this limited edition
