Sony Pictures shows Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

You may have heard that there’s a new Quentin Tarantino movie coming out next week, and you may not be surprised to learn that it’s really long, full of men who talk a lot, and a “love letter” to some bygone era of twentieth century America. 

That era, specifically, is the 1960s, and if its marketing campaign has thus far failed to inform you of this, the film’s newly announced official soundtrack is here to help. Handpicked by Tarantino himself, the songs (and vintage radio ads) that comprise the album do plenty to recreate the mindset of the turn-on-tune-in-drop-out decade, featuring the soaring hard rock riffs of Deep Purple, iconic pop numbers from Simon & Garfunkel and Neil Diamond, and a handful of deep cuts my parents will probably yell at me for being unable to recognize.

The Columbia Records–released soundtrack drops tomorrow, July 26, on the same day Once Upon a Time in Hollywood hits theaters nationwide. Below is the full listing of all thirty-one songs, as well as a trailer for the film.

You can pre-order a digital version of the album here, or, for the full ’60s experience, wait for it to arrive on vinyl.
