Hold us closer, tiny dancer, because the soundtrack to your favourite 21st Century rock n’ roll movie about 1973 is being reissued in a BIG way.
A massive Almost Famous box set is coming our way on July 9th in honour of it’s (slightly belated) 20th anniversary, spanning five CDs and seven 180-gram black LPs.
It marks the first time that every single song from the beloved 2000 flick will be released together in one ginormous package – all 103 of them.
It includes every song from the film’s fictitious band Stillwater, to numerous dialogue tracks, to classics from Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac and more.
It even features a version of Elton John’s ‘Tiny Dancer’ that’s been re-mixed with the cast members singing along to the song, just like they did in the movie.
The box set also contains a treasure trove of collector’s items, including William Miller’s ACTUAL Rolling Stone cover story on the band, plus a 40-page photo book, Lester Bang’s Creem business card, backstage passes, replica ticket stubs and loads more.
“We are extremely proud to revisit Almost Famous a very special bounty of goodness,” writer/director Cameron Crowe said in a statement.
“For the first time, we’ve created a deluxe soundtrack that features nearly every song from the film, along with Nancy Wilson’s wonderfully evocative score.”
He added: “We’re also thrilled to finally preserve 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. Long live physical media!”
You can check out more info about the release & pre-orders right here.
