Hear Ennio Morricone’s opening theme for Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight

It is the Maestro's first Western score in four decades

Trending Now

Ennio Morricone‘s opening theme to Quentin Tarantino‘s new film, The Hateful Eight, has been released.

Tarantino had originally invited Morricone to score 2009’s Inglourious Basterds. However, the composer was already commissioned to work on Giuseppe Tornatore’s Baaria. Tarantino instead used existing Morricone tracks for both that film and Django Unchained.

Third Man Records will release a vinyl edition of Morricone’s score.

The standard vinyl edition of The Hateful Eight will be pressed on two 180-gram LP’s house in a tri-fold reversible jacket with soft-touch finish containing a 60″x12″ poster, a 36″x12″ poster, and a 12-page booklet insert with stills from the film. There will be a limited edition version of the soundtrack released in the future.

The CD and digital version of the soundtrack will be available for purchase worldwide via Decca Records.
