In 2016, MONDO partnered with Marvel and Netflix to release limited edition colored vinyl soundtracks for their shows: DAREDEVIL, JESSICA JONES, LUKE CAGE, IRON FIST, and eventually THE DEFENDERS and THE PUNISHER.
This auction is for the original soundtrack release to LUKE CAGE SEASON ONE, composed by Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad with collectible art by Matthew Woodson. It's on YELLOW colored vinyl. And the centerfold for this, and the subsequent releases, always featured the season's "big bad" (or villain). Limited to 3000 copies and now long gone / out-of-print, here's your chance to add it to your record collection.
ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE: Mondo is excited to unveil the soundtrack for Marvel’s Luke Cage, the Netflix original series, with collectible artwork of the bulletproof hero by Matthew Woodson. Composers Adrian Younge (Something About April) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) have combined forces to produce one of the best scores of 2016 featuring an inspired, genre-bending blend of orchestral score and 90's hip-hop beats, filtered through the sonic lens of the works of Ennio Morricone.
It's no surprise that the score hovers in the same terrain of the Spaghetti Westerns soundtracks of Morricone – the narrative of Luke Cage plays out like a modern Western, only set in Harlem. Muhammad and Younge have meticulously crafted one of the most unique sonic landscapes in the history of television.
"We sought to create a score that reflects the world of Luke Cage. We see this world as a place where classic cinema meets classic Hip Hop," said composers Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge.
