Mondo Music Release of the Week: Dolemite is My Name!

Mondo releases new vinyl special editions every single Wednesday. They are they ultimate edition of whatever they put out, featuring extensive liner notes, brand-new commissioned artwork, and always have a limited-edition size. The vinyl itself is usually colored or a photo disc, as well. Basically, it's like the Criterion Collection of movie and gaming soundtracks. This week sees the release of the soundtrack to Dolemite is My Name!

Dolemite is his name and rappin' & tappin' is his game! Eddie Murphy's 15-year-old pet project about Rudy Ray Moore is absolutely one of the best feel good films in recent memory. Scott Bomar's soundtrack is a loving homage to 1970's funk and Blaxploitation scores that sounds contemporary and fresh rather than just leaning on the past. It's fun, reverential and funky as all hell. Bomar has an incredible feel for funk and soul and it absolutely shines here. This vinyl edition features the full score plus tracks sung by Eddie Murphy, Craig Robinson & Da'Vine Joy Randolph.You can listen to the full score over on Spotify thanks to our friends at Milan Records right here.

Like all Mondo releases, Dolemite is My Name will go up at Noon Central on the Mondo site Wednesday.
