What the Rocketman Soundtrack Vinyl Offers
The Rocketman soundtrack vinyl collects songs from the 2019 Elton John biopic, performed by the man himself. If you're looking for a single-LP summary of his biggest hits as they appear in the film, this pressing delivers a curated 14-track selection across two sides.
It's not a complete film score or a deluxe edition. Instead, it focuses on the key musical moments from the movie, making it a solid entry point for casual fans or anyone who wants the movie's highlights on vinyl without committing to a multi-disc set.
Confirmed Details for the Rocketman Soundtrack Vinyl
- Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture Vinyl: The vinyl is a 1LP release with a total runtime of 00:36:58 on Side A and 00:35:36 on Side B. A single LP means you get a focused tracklist without the need to flip or change discs as often as with a 2LP set. The runtime per side is typical for a standard 12" record, preserving good sound quality.
Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture Vinyl - Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture Vinyl: Side A includes tracks like 'The Bitch Is Back', 'I Want Love', 'Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting', 'Your Song', 'Crocodile Rock', and 'Tiny Dancer'. These are some of Elton's most recognizable songs, and they appear in the order they're featured in the film. If you want the movie's emotional arc on vinyl, this side captures the rise and early struggles.
- Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture Vinyl: Side B includes 'Hercules', 'Don’t Go Breaking My Heart', 'Honky Cat', 'Pinball Wizard', 'Rocketman', 'Bennie and the Jets', 'Don’t Let the Sun Go Down', 'Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word', 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', 'I’m Still Standing', and '(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again'. Side B covers the later career highlights and the triumphant moments of the film. The inclusion of '(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again' (the end-credits duet with Taron Egerton) makes this the only place to get that specific movie mix on vinyl.
- Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture Vinyl: The catalog price is USD 19.79 (catalog comparison price USD 29.98). At under $20, this is an affordable way to own a piece of the biopic's music on vinyl. The discount from the comparison price suggests good value for a standard single LP.
What the Catalog Doesn't Tell You About This Pressing
The product record confirms this is a standard 1LP edition. There is no mention of colored vinyl, gatefold packaging, or a digital download code. If you're a collector seeking a special edition or extra booklet, this likely isn't that release.
The tracklist is a compilation of existing recordings used in the film, not new performances. That means the sound quality depends on the original master tapes, which for these classic tracks are generally excellent. However, if you already own the original studio albums, you won't find alternate takes or extended versions here.
For the price, it's a straightforward soundtrack LP. If you want the full film score or instrumental cues, you'd need to look elsewhere. This is purely the song collection as featured in the movie.
Rocketman Soundtrack vs. Original Studio Albums
- Rocketman Soundtrack Vinyl: Single LP with 14 tracks curated from the film. Includes the movie-specific mix of '(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again'. Best for fans of the biopic who want a concise highlight reel.
- Original Studio Albums (e.g., Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Honky Château): Full-length albums with complete tracklists, original artwork, and often higher-fidelity pressings. Better for collectors who want the complete album experience and deeper cuts.
Who Should Buy This Vinyl
This pressing is ideal for someone who loved the Rocketman movie and wants a physical copy of the songs that defined it. It's also a good choice if you're new to vinyl and want an affordable, well-known collection to start with.
If you're a die-hard collector who already owns the original albums on vinyl, this soundtrack may feel redundant. But for the price, it's a nice companion piece that captures the film's spirit in one neat LP.
