THIRD MAN RECORDS TO RELEASE VINYL VERSION OF QUENTIN TARANTINO AND ENNIO MORRICONE’S THE HATEFUL EIGHT SOUNDTRACK ON DECEMBER 18; FIRST TIME COLLABORATION FOR TARANTINO AND MORRICONE FEATURES ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS FROM WORLD-RENOWNED COMPOSER

(NASHVILLE) – Third Man Records today announced the vinyl release of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight original motion picture soundtrack on December 18, 2015.  The Nashville-based label will distribute the record to indie retail stores in the United States. While Tarantino is a lifelong fan of Morricone’s work and has used his music in his past five films, this historic collaboration marks the first time Morricone has recorded original music specifically for one of Tarantino’s films. It is also the first time Morricone has scored a Western film in over 40 years, since the release of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

The standard vinyl edition of The Hateful Eight will be pressed on two 180-gram LP’s house in a tri-fold reversible jacket with soft-touch finish containing a 60″x12″ poster, a 36″x12″ poster, and a 12-page booklet insert with stills from the film. There will be a limited edition version of the soundtrack released in the future. Details will be revealed soon.

The CD and digital version of the soundtrack will be available for purchase worldwide via Decca Records. The Hateful Eight film will be released on December 25, 2015 screening exclusively in 70 mm film and will open wide on January 8, 2016.

In The Hateful Eight, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of red rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a black former Union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Demian Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), the hangman of red rock, cow- puncher Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and Confederate general Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to red rock after all…
