Rolling Stone reports that the classic soundtrack to the Academy Award-winning film Forrest Gump will be getting its own triple-LP reissue to mark the film's 20th anniversary. Among the artists included on the soundtrack are Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, The Doors, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
"We wanted to have very recognizable material that would pinpoint time periods," said producer Joel Sill, who compiled the soundtrack, "yet we didn't want to interfere with what was happening cinematically."
Originally released in July 1994, the Forrest Gump soundtrack sold over 6 million copies, becoming one of the best selling movie soundtracks of all time. This reissue, which is set for release on Nov. 4, marks the first time that the soundtrack will be available on vinyl. For this new set, the album will be pressed on red, white, and blue records, representing the album's entirely American line-up of musicians.
