When sound and vision meet, transcendence ensues.

It’s impossible to do. Throughout film history, songs have added glory to struggle, majesty to landscapes, depth to heroes and villains alike. Or Super Fly without Curtis Mayfield’s haunted croon.

Or Pulp Fiction without Dick Dale’s cataclysmic surf-rock guitar. Paul Westerberg – Waiting for Somebodyġ6.What would the movies be without music? Imagine Do the Right Thing without Radio Raheem’s blaring boombox. Mother Love Bone – Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thornsġ0. Singles Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) CD Tracklist:Ġ6. Update: The reissue has officially been announced for a May 19th release. (Read: Ranking: Every Pearl Jam Album from Worst to Best) (It should be noted that the way the tracklist is listed out makes it seem as if the vinyl box set will actually feature the original OST on double-vinyl and include the 18 bonus tracks on CD.)

Both editions feature the original 13 tracks plus 18 new ones including demos, instrumentals, and “Touch Me I’m Dick” by Dillion’s fictional band in the film, Citizen Dick, which featured Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament. Pre-orders for a double-CD and triple-LP box set of the Singles Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) have appeared on Amazon’s UK site. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the OST, and it looks as if Sony Music will be celebrating with an expanded reissue. But nothing sums up the cultural significance better than the film’s soundtrack, which featured the likes of Chris Cornell, Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, and yes, Pearl Jam. I mean, Pearl Jam was actually in the movie and Matt Dillion’s wardrobe consisted mainly of Jeff Amnet’s actual clothing.

Pretty much everything about the breakthrough of grunge music in the early ’90s can be boiled down to one movie: Cameron Crowe’s 1992 classic Singles.
