These are truly dark times when reissue news is being sourced through Yahoo.

 

 

 

 

but I am all over this.

 

Yahoo links to this: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150303006567/en/Universal-Music-Enterprises-Prepares-Five-Month-Rollout-Soundtrack#.VPfKllXF8Zj

 

But the language on this leads me to believe there was some other announcement somewhere.

 

Can anyone find anything more official?

AV Club doesn't listen any source, but I'm guessing it's true.  Weren't Pulp Fiction already announced?

In the presser from BusinessWire, all the hyperlinked titled link directly to sales pages on Amazon already set up.

So, every linked title is already available, including that Pulp Fiction pic disc:

hope its not a pic disc.

but fuck yes, one of my fav movies. one of my fav books. cant wait.

 

I'm thinking it's just normal discs as the presser seems to describe each pic disc as such. For example: 

 

 

 

- import picture disc of Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed Pulp Fiction

- import picture disc of the Coen brothers’ 2002 GRAMMY®-winning Album of the Year, O Brother, Where Art Thou?,

- the following week, March 31 sees the release of the double-disc soundtrack to the movie version of Friday Night Lights.

It's up now. It says "Out of Stock" but the other day it had nothing so this is basically the pre-order. I think maybe because it's a rerelease they are doing it this way. Either way, I am in there!

Good eye!

 

Ordered. We'll see what happens. I think you are spot on with what will go down tho.

 

I wonder how many of these are getting repressed and how close to the OG press it will be all around.

 

Super happy to finally snag this either way!

Is this just incorrectly labeled by Amazon? Isn't everyone searching for the "score" by EITS to the FNL film, not the soundtrack to the TV show?
