GREAT EXPECTATIONS/THE ALBUM/VINYLE VERT EMERAUDE/EDITION LIMITEE

Description

Alfonso Cuarón's 1998 film changed a few things from the original novel by Charles Dickens: Abel Magwitch became Arthur Lustig, Miss Havisham became Nora Dinsmoor, the poor old Pip became Finn... and most importantly for our purposes, early 19th century London became 1990s New York! And just like the soundtrack – featuring tracks by Chris Cornell (the rare "Sunshower"), Pulp, Scott Weiland, Iggy Pop, and The Verve Pipe, it had its finger firmly on the pulse of the late 20th-century music scene, with some welcome curves (Cesaria Evora, Grateful Dead?) to kick things off. Collectors will also note that Tori Amos wrote "Siren" for the film, and that Poe's "Today" - which, like several other songs from the score, does not appear in the film - makes its only appearance here. Great Expectations: The Album was originally released only on CD, so vinyl soundtrack collectors have been pushing for years to see it released on wax, and we are obliging with a 2 LP set housed in a beautiful gatefold jacket, pressed on emerald green vinyl to match Gwyneth Paltrow's lovely dress from the film.
