Cool World is a 1992 live-action/animated hybrid film helmed by Ralph Bakshi and featuring Kim Basinger, Gabriel Byrne, and Brad Pitt. Initially pitched as an animated horror, the script was rewritten to a PG-rated romantic story. Though not a box-office hit, it became a cult classic, lauded for its painterly live-action and thoughtful take on Fieischer Studios' animation. The soundtrack captures the era's popular alternative music, with 'electronica' making chart inroads. 'Real Cool World' is Bowie's first new song after Tin Machine, produced by Nile Rogers in their first reunion since 1983's Let's Dance. Other gems include 'Disappointed' by a supergroup of Bernard Sumner (New Order), Johnny Marr (The Smiths), and Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys), 'Ah - Ah' by Moby, and 'Under' by Brian Eno. Pressed on 'flesh'-colored vinyl, the D - side has film character etchings. This limited - edition double LP is the first full soundtrack release on LP format from Warner in 2019.
Using this Cool World soundtrack vinyl is easy. Just place it on your record player and start the needle gently on the grooves. As it plays, you can sit back and enjoy the great music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving dirt or oils on the record. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If it gets dirty, use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust from the grooves. Remember, this is a limited - edition item, so take good care of it to keep it in top condition for years of enjoyment.
