Connoisseurs that they are for great soundtracks, the folks at Waxwork Records will be putting out a deluxe vinyl edition of the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, hitting digital shelves tomorrow (f.k.a. Friday, February 15). What makes this release deluxe? Try a red-and-black smoke-colored vinyl, with a heavyweight printed insert, and “old style tip-on gatefold jackets,” all wrapped up in a design by Aesthetic Apparatus that is very 1970s-inspired.
If you read TMT at all, you should already know about BlacKkKlansman. After all, it was featured on our list of the 25 best films of 2018. If this is your first trip to TMT, you still should already know about Lee’s film. After all, numerous outlets have gone on record marking it as one of the best films of 2018. Outlets like the, oh, I don’t know: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences?!?
Yes, BlacKkKlansman is up for six statues at this year’s Oscars, including the top prize of Best Picture, Best Director for Lee, and the reason we are here today, Best Original Score.
The film’s score is the latest collaboration between Lee and jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard, a partnership that dates back to 1991’s Jungle Fever. Though he is a six-time Grammy award winner — including Best Instrumental Composition for “Blut und Boden (Blood and Soil)” from this very score — this is Blanchard’s first Oscar nomination.
