Clueless Soundtrack Gets Special 30th Anniversary Reissue
(UMe) "As if!!!!" UMe marks the 30th anniversary of Paramount Pictures' 1995 comedy classic Clueless, by releasing the movie's soundtrack on both standard weight vinyl and a limited-edition standard weight pink colored vinyl - available now here.
Loosely based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, Clueless was hilariously updated to Beverly Hills High School in the 1990s by writer/director Amy Heckerling. The iconic film stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, Stacey Dash as her best friend Dionne, Brittany Murphy as Tai, the ugly duckling transformed into a beautiful swan, and Paul Rudd as Cher's disapproving ex-stepbrother.
The platinum-selling soundtrack features The Muffs' cover of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America," along with Radiohead's acoustic version of "Fake Plastic Trees" as well as tracks from a who's-who of the decade's alternative music stars, such as Cracker (with a cover of Flamin' Groovies' "Shake Some Action"), Counting Crows (cover of Psychedelic Furs' "The Ghost in You"), Luscious Jackson, World Party (with a rousing cover of Mott the Hoople/David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes"), Lightning Seeds, Smoking Popes, Beastie Boys, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (who appeared in the film), Coolio, Supergrass, Velocity Girl and Jill Sobule.
