DELUXE GATEFOLD 180-GRAM REISSUE including original artwork & credits.
OST to the iconic 1968 Stanley Kubrick film. Known for its use of many classical and orchestral pieces, it is credited for giving many classical compositions resurgences in popularity. The film is notable for its innovative use of classical music taken from existing commercial recordings. In the early stages of production, Kubrick had actually commissioned a score for 2001 from Hollywood composer Alex North but during postproduction Kubrick chose to abandon North’s music in favor of the now familiar classical pieces. The soundtrack was a commercial success, reaching the 24th spot on the Billboard 200.
