WTF Album Covers: The Brothers Johnson

WTF?, , , , ,

Phil’s Vinyl Addiction rightfully draws attention to this ultra craptacular album cover by the otherwise talented Brothers Johnson–definitely not the WORST album cover in the world, but definitely one of the cheesiest.

The Brothers Johnson, in case you didn’t know, were the gents responsible for that fine-ass cover of Strawberry Letter 23 by the mighty Shuggie Otis.

The Brothers Johnson version is heard in Jackie Brown right before poor old Chris Tucker gets his face shot off by Samuel L. Jackson. Behold:



Quentin Tarantino Death Proof Soundtrack LP SOLD OUT

For Sale, , , ,

Quentin Tarantino Death Proof vinyl album

Death Proof is a grab-bag of musical styles, all of them great. From Chick Habit by An April March to Jack Nitzche’s Last Race, (with a little Morricone thrown in for good measure), the soundtrack album for Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof is a great time from start to finish. Hell, even Pino Donaggio gets a look in with Sally and Jack.

Regardess of whether you’re into the shorter Grindhouse version of Death Proof, or the extended feature-length release, if you’re a fan of the movie, you need to own this record on vinyl the way God intended it. Sure, you could just get the compact disc, or re-watch the flick (guilty of an excessive number of re-viewings on the Turntabling screen) but the vinyl experience for this particular slab of vinyl is outstanding. A true classic.

Yes, you’re reading the rant of a Death Proof fanboy–fully aware of the movie’s shortcomings and not caring one little bit. The album is fabulous and there’s no denying it.

UPDATE —SORRY, DEATH PROOF IS SOLD OUT! It is quite rare these days….

Jackie Brown Soundtrack Vinyl LP

For Sale, , , ,

jackie brown soundtrack vinyl recordSOLD OUT

Quentin Tarantino made a hell of a fun movie here. Jackie Brown has everything a Tarantino fan wants—Samuel L. Jackson chewing the scenery, great retro-now locations and culture references, a bit of the old ultra-violence, plus one hell of a smokin’ soundtrack. You can’t go wrong with Bobby Womack, Johnny Cash, and the infamous Vampire Sound Corporation–who made Jesse Franco’s Vampyros Lesbos such a great thing to behold.

This soundtrack album never fails…and DJs will love the dialogue snippets from the movie. Throw in The Grass Roots, The Delfonics, and Elliot Easton’s Tiki Gods for good measure and you’ve got a slab of wax that’s almost perfect.

The Jackie Brown Original Soundtrack album is a sealed, new vinyl record. SOLD OUT
