Holy heart failure, Batman! Wrap your eyes around this beast of beauty. Whoever was behind the packaging for the Django Unchained OST put their work in! Double blood splattered white 180 gram vinyl, what? Sweet gatefold jacket and printed sleeves? Yes, please! Quinten Tarantino's latest opus gets its commemoration with this release. Who cares if Ennio Morricone, who composed a brand new song for Django Unchained, stated that Tarantino used the music "without coherence" and he "wouldn't like to work with him again, on anything"? When it comes packaged this well I think that's all beside the point. As with all Tarantino soundtracks snippets of the film's dialogue are included to get you in the mood. Limited edition pressing, get yours before they're all gone.
