Goodfellas is the soundtrack album from the 1990 film Goodfellas directed by Martin Scorsese, originally released in October 1990 via Atlantic Records.

It was in September 1990 when director Martin Scorsese released epic crime drama, Goodfellas. Starring Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta, the cinematic masterpiece arrived with an equally stellar soundtrack. Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Cream--one of the finest marriages of movies and music happens in the legendary death sequence featuring Derek and the Dominos' "Layla (Piano Exit)."

"It taught Scorsese that you could choreograph a film's attitude, so to speak, with music," Glenn Kenny, film historian and author of a book recounting the making of Goodfellas, Made Men, says in the post. "What Scorsese does in his films is take the songs from being reflections of the character’s consciousness to functioning components of that consciousness, and of the consciousness of the filmmaker as well. Scorsese has talked of a 'twilight of the gods' feel for the sequence, the need to emphasize that despite the fact that these murder victims were amoral criminals, they were also human beings."

Scorsese chose the songs for Goodfellas only if they commented on the scene or the characters "in an oblique way". The only rule he adhered to with the soundtrack was to only use music which could have been heard at that time.

The Goodfellas soundtrack album on vinyl has always been a rare find, having only been pressed in a couple of small runs in the early 1990s. This 1LP release will be the first global pressing. Limited to just 15,000 copies, this dark blue vinyl beauty is only available at brick and mortar indie record stores.

This album is a 2021 limited edition reissue of 15,000 copies on blue coloured vinyl, pressed in Europe via Atlantic Records.
