PO - Forrest Gump OST (SRC)

Few comments:

 

* So what was originally released in Europe as a 2LP set has now been pressed as a 3LP Triple Gatefold Set (with the same tracklisting)

* Limited and hand-numbered first pressing out of how many copies?  Would the 2nd press not be on the "all-american" red, white and blue colors and just black?

* To be frank with the all star lineup of artists (Elvis, Beach Boys, CCR, Dylan, Doors, etc.), I would have thought that the licensing would have been more and this would have been priced in the Anchorman 2 or Secret Life of Walter Mitty price range, so I am not too horrified by the price.....but I'm still not ordering it.

This. I'd like to own this and the D&D soundtrack, but not biting.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the motion picture Forrest Gump, we're proud to announce the first ever North American vinyl pressing of the soundtrack. All 32-tracks have been placed across three vinyl LPs to ensure maximum audio-fidelity, in addition to vinyl mastering and lacquers by Kevin Gray, and platting at RTI. The album will be available on 180 Gram "All American" Red, White and Blue vinyl LPs, pressed at United Records in the USA. First pressings will be hand numbered and limited.

The 32-song soundtrack from the film was originally released on July 6, 1994. The soundtrack includes songs from Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Aretha Franklin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Three Dog Night, The Byrds, The Doors, The Mamas & the Papas, The Doobie Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Seger, and Buffalo Springfield, among others. Music producer Joel Sill reflected on compiling the soundtrack: ''We wanted to have very recognizable material that would pinpoint time periods, yet we didn't want to interfere with what was happening cinematically.'' The two-disc album has a variety of music from the 1950s–1980s performed by American artists. According to Sill, this was due to Zemeckis' request, ''All the material in there is American. Bob (Zemeckis) felt strongly about it. He felt that Forrest wouldn't buy anything but American.''

Forrest Gump: The Soundtrack is one of the most successful movie soundtrack albums of all time. The album - like the film - instantly captured the heart of America, going into the top 10 of Billboard's Pop Album chart and shipping over 1 million units in its first few weeks of release. This timeless double album of American Classics has since been certified DIAMOND - selling over 6 million copies.

''The movie Forrest Gump is about time. A simple man's journey through complicated times. The coming-of-age of a generation and a country. And at the heart of the story is the music. Music that lives with us, always there to remind us of the people, the places, and the events of our time.'' - Robert Zemeckis & Eric Roth

Vinyl Details:

- Mastered for vinyl and lacquers created by Kevin Gray then plated at RTI

- First pressing is on an 'All American' limited Edition and Hand Numbered 3 180 Gram colored vinyl LPs - Red, White and Blue.

- Vinyl made in America at United Records Pressing Plant

- Triple Panel Gatefold jacket. Matte paper finish with Spot UV.

just looked at the ost listing. this thing is like a classic rock greatest hits album. probably worth it just to hear all these songs on vinyl without changing records every song to recreate it. especially if the pressing quality is superb

 

This.  Used to have this soundtrack on CD.  Loved it when I was a kid.  Great compilation of tunes.

I didn't pre-order it, but I did go see the 20th anniversary week long limited IMAX version. Eh... it was ok, but every time there's an opportunity to watch Gump, I'm on it :P Also didn't get the poster they advertised you'd get if you went to the IMAX showing. Either they ran out quickly or they never had them. There were 6 people in the theatre watching it when I went including myself and my gf. So I doubt they ran out.

Guys, even if they say /100. They will find 30 in a closet in a few months.

This right here pisses me off. I waited a month or 2 after the recent Chevelle press and picked up a red copy due to the coke bottle being sold out. Then last week I get and email saying "we found 30!!" like wtf...

In the words of an overrated rockstar, "Welcome to the jungle."
