The album release of the summer, Guardians of the Galaxy's Awesome Mix Vol.1, is recieving the cassette tape release it deserves.
The soundtrack, which features the likes of David Bowie, Blue Swede and The Jackson 5, is a huge part of the blockbuster movie. It is the tape given to Starlord, played by Chris Pratt, by his dying mother and is seamlessly integrated into various scenes of the film, mostly via Walkman.
Stocked by Record Store Day retailers as part of Black Friday, the tape will be released on 17 November, having previously being put out on CD, digital, and Mondo vinyl LP.
