"Kill Bill Vol. 1" Original Soundtrack News

"Kill Bill Volume 1," Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated feature project, is set to hit theatres on October 10th. As with all of Tarantino’s movies, music is an integral part of his filmmaking and the soundtrack is destined to be a huge hit with both fans and critics alike. Set for release September 23rd on Maverick Records, "Kill Bill Vol. 1" will feature Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", The RZA's "Ode to Oren Ishii", "Run Fay Run" by Isaac Hayes and "The Flower of Carnage" by Meiko Kaji. With a stellar track record for helming innovative and exciting soundtracks, Tarantino is arguably the most music-savvy of '90s filmmakers and has once again put together the perfect combination of tracks from the past and present, making this a disc fans won’t want to miss.

This marks the second time Maverick Records has partnered with Tarantino and his partner Lawrence Bender, through their A Band Apart production company, for a soundtrack release. In December 1997 Maverick released the soundtrack for the critically acclaimed Tarantino hit, "Jackie Brown." The soundtrack, a collection heavy on '70s R and B (Bobby Womack, Brothers Johnson, Bill Withers, Minnie Ripperton) peppered with obscurities (Johnny Cash singing "Tennessee Stud," a track from blaxploitation queen/Jackie Brown star Pam Grier) and snatches of dialogue, was an instant hit with critics and fans alike and has gone on to sell over 1.2 million worldwide.
