The vinyl revolution has brought lenity of music back into public consideration, including a variety of soundtracks. The most recently announced film to get the vinyl treatment is 1994's cult comedy Clerks, the second film directed by Kevin Smith and the first starring him as his trademark character Silent Bob. The film was also highly regarded for its grunge-era soundtrack, although it covered a wide spread of underground rock. It was noted at the time by Smith that securing the licenses to use the songs in the soundtrack ultimately cost more than production costs for the film itself.
The new vinyl release will feature two discs and three sides of music-the fourth will be held for a decorative etching, another trend in the current vinyl scene. We can only hope that the set comes in an alternative color, perhaps some psychedelic imagery to reflect the pot smoking/dealing habits of cult characters Bob and Jay. All the lines of dialogue from the film inserted between tracks on the original CD will also be included on the vinyl.
The set will be released on November 11. Check out the original setlist below:
