By the end of 1973, New York City was bankrupt, Watergate had compromised the credibility of the U.S. government, and the Carpenters were the best-selling young recording act in America. Rock 'n' roll was dead! The story of Hilly Kristal and his legendary club that put the punk back in rock will come to movie theaters this October when CBGB hits the big screen. Rhino will release both a standard and deluxe version of CBGB: ORIGINAL MOTION SOUNDTRACK digitally on October 8. On the same day, Omnivore Recordings will release the soundtrack on CD and double-LP, with a limited edition first pressing on translucent pink vinyl.

The film features an all-star ensemble cast headed by Alan Rickman (the Harry Potter series, Die Hard), who plays Kristal. Co-starring with Rickman are Malin Akerman (The Proposal, Suburgatory), Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy), Ashley Greene (The Twilight series), Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory), Stana Katic (Castle), Freddy Rodriguez (Planet Terror, Six Feet Under), Rupert Grint (the Harry Potter series), Mickey Sumner (Francis Ha), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Donal Logue (Grounded For Life), Richard DeKlerk (Repeaters), Bradley Whitford (West Wing) and Joel David Moore (Avatar). CBGB is written and produced by Jody Savin and Randall Miller and directed by Miller (Bottle Shock). The movie, distributed by XLrator Media, opens in theaters in New York and Los Angeles and other select cities on October 11.

CBGB: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK is an essential collection of songs that defined the punk movement. The standard edition features 20 classics of original American punk and new wave, many rarely compiled or unavailable for years. Rhino's deluxe version (available as a digital exclusive) expands the standard track list for a total of 33 iconic tracks.

The soundtrack contains music from influential artists who informed the scene (The Velvet Underground, The Stooges and MC5) as well as acts who broke through to huge commercial acclaim (Talking Heads, Blondie and The Police). And there's even music from bands whose legendary status will forever be linked to the club that gave them a voice (Dead Boys, Television, Wayne County, The Dictators and more).

Hilly Kristal dreamed of running a country and blues bar in the Bowery. Instead, the club he opened, CBGB (Country, Bluegrass, Blues) became the birthplace of punk and underground music. CBGB was the modern-day salon for the disenfranchised youth of New York City and Kristal offered these young local bands a stage.

The album contains a performance by Kristal ("Birds and the Bees") and a new version of "Sunday Girl" by Blondie.
