Prepare your boomboxes for awesomeness. Billboard announced today that the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy will be released on cassette tape. The soundtrack has already come to CD, digital release, and LP, but now it's coming to the format that Star Lord wanted fans to hear it in: the glory of cassette tape.

The soundtrack spent two weeks at number one this summer and is the 10th largest selling album of 2014, moving 543,000 units. The cassette version of this soundtrack hits stores on November 17th; however, it will be limited. Disney has not said how many copies will be released but the cassette will be exclusive to the community of independent retailers associated with Record Store Day. Each cassette will come with a digital download version of the album as well.

Guardians of the Galaxy will hit DVD/Blu-Ray on December 9th.

Here's a quick reminder of what's on the soundtrack:

1. Blue Swede: “Hooked on a Feeling”

2. Raspberries: “Go All the Way”

3. Norman Greenbaum: “Spirit in the Sky”

4. David Bowie: “Moonage Daydream”

5. Elvin Bishop: “Fooled Around and Fell in Love”

6. 10cc: “I’m Not in Love”

This is pretty sweet.

that is so retro

That's pretty awesome. I want one!!!!

Nostalgia levels....Over 9000!

Oh god. Time for all the trendy kids to buy this.

Or old farts who still have the technology to listen to cassette.

Where did I leave that old boombox?

Definitely going to pick this up

This is pretty awesome.

Not a bad idea. Pretty awesome actually haha.

Yes sir.

Seems like a cool idea, but who listens to cassette tapes anymore?

At "Hot Topic"

:D

Wow... I can't remember having an album on cassette since the original Pokemon soundtrack.

Sploosh

That's so cool! And what a nice coincidence, tomorrow I'm doing a presentation for mass media class on retro tech that's coming back in fashion, here's one anecdote to add!

Awesome!

I'm getting that tape. Don't have ish to play it on, but I want it.

Seriously?

...Who still...why would they...who still uses...

*Epic Sigh*

I think this is pretty cool just for the sake of nostalgia and each version will all the owner to get the digital download as well.

It's most likely leaning more towards memorabilia purposes since a digital copy is included for modern day listening.

This is very cool

Lol

Cool.

The tape looks like Laserbeak, if only it came with Soundwave!

Nice. I still have a walkman and a boom box.

@arturocalakayvee: But cassettes? Really?

It's retro, people love retro!

Coolish, I guess. I have a tape player still, but I rather make my own actual mix tape.

Old farts? I used to listen to tapes when I was a kid and I'm only 24...it's old technology, but not THAT old...

@cattlebattle: I'll bet you my house it'll actually be there!

So, I ACTUALLY digged out my old stereo with cassette player yesterday after seeing this, and to my surprise it works perfectly and the sound quality is great! Moments like this, I'm glad I never throw stuff away.

Now I have no excuse not to buy this soundtrack... Except of course if I can't afford it or it isn't sold in my country, which is actually a high probability, sadly.

Jesus, it was a joke.

I don't think caladorcp was being that serious...

I wasn't. But that's okay, lol.
