Limited double 10" album in gatefold jacket includes three songs that were not released on other formats of the soundtrack. One album features songs from the film, including Billie Holiday, Les Paul and other artists from the 1950's. The Billie Holiday track is prominent in the film as Carol receives the record as a gift and plays it multiple times. The second album is Carter Burwell's Oscar nominated score. The 10" size and the labels have been designed to be reflective of the period. Set in 1950s New York, two women from very different backgrounds (Kate Blanchett and Rooney Mara) find themselves in the throes of love in Carol. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change.

Good soundtrack, let down by bad pressing.
Without a doubt, the Carol soundtrack is one of the most beautiful out there. It's a throwback to the 1950s with classic songs and timeless compositions - only to be let down with bad pressing. The record with the songs on (One Mint Julep, No Other Love etc.) sounds fantastic! But the record with the compositions on (The Times, Lovers, The Datebook etc.) is not as well pressed. I thought it was my record player, so I tried a new record player and it sounded the same. It sounds a little bit like it's being played through a tin can, which is a real shame. It's still a nice piece to have, but don't expect crystal clear clarity.

Beautiful
The vinyl itself is perfect, beautiful 10 inch vinyls that have the retro 1950s look. The soundtrack is my favourite from any film and the fact it also comes with the other songs as well is perfect. Fast delivery, way sooner than expected as usual. Love the soundtrack and would definitely recommend buying it on vinyl as it sounds so much more original and more accurate to the film. Love it!
