Trust Quentin Tarantino to produce a film soundtrack that plays just as well as a movie. For those familiar with the 1994 cult film, there’s so much joy to be had here.

All of the tastiest soul, rock and roll, and surf–tinged tunes of the film are laid out in all their glory here, and what makes this even more of an essential purchase is that the music is spliced with some of the film’s most quotable lines. ‘Royale With Cheese’? Yep. ‘Zed’s Dead’? Uh huh. And of course, 'Ezekiel 25:17', the nonexistent bible verse that’s become the film’s most quoted line, rounds things out.
