The biggest edition is the 5CD/7LP/1-7" single Super Deluxe set. (Stillwater's six songs are also available as a standalone vinyl EP.) A 2CD, 35-song cutdown version will also be released as well as two vinyl versions of the original, 17-song soundtrack as first issued in 2000. The 5CD and 6LP editions of the expanded soundtrack feature 47 songs from the movie as sung by artists from Alvin and the Chipmunks to Yes, including tracks by fictional in-movie band Stillwater, plus film dialogue, score cues, Stillwater demos, and more. Even the end credits kept the audience spellbound, thanks to The Beach Boys' haunting "Feel Flows." The most iconic (and yes, that word is tremendously overused but remains appropriate here) moment in the film is a tour bus sing-along set to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." That was one of many goosebump-inducing moments in the movie recreated in a recent stage musical adaptation which premiered in 2019 at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre and is currently circling Broadway for a debut in the post-pandemic landscape. Simon and Garfunkel's "America" takes him on a journey that doesn't even require him to leave his bedroom Todd Rundgren's "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" underscores a scene in which William meets influential, real-life critic Lester Bangs (memorably brought to life by Philip Seymour Hoffman). Anyone who's seen the film remembers how beautifully Crowe integrated classic rock and pop sounds into the affecting, semi-autobiographical coming of age story of budding rock journalist William Miller (Patrick Fugit). The Second Disc has been championing an expansion of the Almost Famous soundtrack since 2011 when it was the subject of a Friday Feature column. We're also thrilled to present both versions of the film, along with a collection of rare new bonus features, on these beautiful new 4K and Blu-ray releases as part of Paramount Presents. For the first time, we've created a deluxe soundtrack that features nearly every song heard in the film, along with Nancy Wilson's wonderfully evocative score. Crowe was quoted late yesterday in Rolling Stone (where else?): "We are extremely proud to revisit Almost Famous with a very special bounty of goodness. 5CD/7LP/1-7" single Super Deluxe Box Set (103 tracks including 47 songs, film dialogue, Stillwater demos, jams, and score cues limited to 1,500 units).Īdditionally, the original film will arrive four days later on July 13 in Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD formats.Stillwater vinyl EP (180-gram, 6 songs) and.Original 2LP Soundtrack (Original film artwork jacket, 180-gram, 17 songs).
