We are Sex Bob-Omb and you’re finally going to hear our full soundtrack and stuff! 1-2-3-4! That’s right, the fantastic soundtrack to Edgar Wright‘s “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” will get a special 10th-anniversary re-release on vinyl that will include 24-minutes’ worth of unreleased music.
The news comes from director Edgar Wright himself, who tweeted out an announcement about ABKCO’s special re-release of the soundtracks. This will mark the first time Nigel Godrich‘s accompanying score will get a physical release, but no doubt the biggest news is that the soundtrack vinyl will include previously-unreleased songs from singer-songwriter Beck, Sex Bob-Omb (Scott’s fake band in the movie) as well as a special version of Metric‘s “Black Sheep” sung by Brie Larson herself.
ABKCO was the original distributor for the soundtrack back in 2010, but it will be interesting to see how this new edition looks. It was Beck who actually wrote and sung the music for the fictional band Sex Bomb-Omb, so more of his music can’t be anything but good news.
In a feature from 2010 by Empire Magazine, Wright described Beck’s music for Sex Bob-Omb as “It should be difficult to tell whether they are awful or awesome.”
Even bigger news is the release of Brie Larson’s version of “Black Sheep.” You see, for the past 10 years the only way to hear The Clash at Demonhead’s version of the song (the fake band Larson’s character Envy Adams is a part of) has been in the film itself or on YouTube. The version of the song that is in the official soundtrack is by the band Metric, and their bass player isn’t even vegan.

The reason seems to be to a request by Metric. “Metric wanted their original version on the OST” Edgar Wright tweeted in 2019.
