Feast Your Eyes On The 'Luke Cage' Vinyl Soundtrack

So yesterday, news of the release of the Luke Cagesoundtrack was announced, with details only speaking to a digital release.

Now, looks like fans of the series and score will also be able to get a vinyl version of the soundtrack, and as you can see from the above image, it's marvelous.

Mondo, the art gallery and online store devoted to anything and everything film, art, music and toys, has teamed up with Marvel to unveil the soundtrack for Marvel's Luke Cage, with collectible artwork of the bulletproof hero by Matthew Woodson.

The collection comes in two records that are pressed on 180 gram "Power Man Yellow" colored vinyl (we also wouldn't be surprised if the design is also paying homage to the Wu-Tang Clan), and will feature the compositions that Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge created for the series. The set costs $35.

"We sought to create a score that reflects the world of Luke Cage. We see this world as a place where classic cinema meets classic Hip Hop," said Muhammad and Younge in a statement.

Okayplayer interviewed the two composers about what it was like soundtracking such a momentous series in not only the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but in black television.

"Adrian and I, we wanted to really make the music stand out to wholly support the dynamic aspect of Luke Cage and everybody else," Muhammad said. "We wanted to make a huge statement with the music and the score, and really wanted it to stand out as something that no one has ever heard for television."

"Everything that we did we wanted to make a statement, so we looked to our heroes: Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye and Ennio Morricone," Muhammad also said. "Just really make something that spoke to the character and the movement of the artwork. Luke Cage being a product of the blaxploitation period, there’s certain elements in blaxploitation music that you want to make sure are there. So we kind of dipped into that paint a little bit."

Make sure you bookmark the Mondo website for when the vinyl soundtrack drops tomorrow (Friday).
