2LP, soundtrack, red with yellow streaks colour vinyl
A 2LP gatefold on fiery red and yellow vinyl, with stills from the film. The album hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200, went double Platinum in the U.S. and won the Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack.
Here's a nice bit of local pride for your next viewing: the songs for Chicago, the 2002 film that dragged the movie musical back into the spotlight, were recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga. So when Catherine Zeta-Jones opens with "All That Jazz" (No. 98 on the AFI's list of the greatest movie songs, by the way), that's Ontario air she's belting into. Renée Zellweger takes "Funny Honey" and "Roxie," Richard Gere gets to "Razzle Dazzle," John C. Reilly breaks hearts with "Mister Cellophane," and Queen Latifah owns "When You're Good to Mama."
The soundtrack ran up to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 5 in Canada, went double Platinum in the U.S. and took home the Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack. Danny Elfman scored the instrumental pieces, "Cell Block Tango" gets a bonus remix with Queen Latifah, Lil' Kim and Macy Gray, and Anastacia shows up with "Love Is a Crime," a song that wasn't in the film at all. Kander and Ebb's songs have been around since the seventies, but this is the cast recording most people actually know by heart. Spread across two LPs in streaky red and yellow, it looks the part too.
On Real Gone Music, a reissue of the 2002 soundtrack.
