Vinyl: Music From The HBO Original Series Volume 1

Listening notes

Released in 2016 on Atlantic Records (catalog number 7567-86661-4), Vinyl: Music From The HBO Original Series Volume 1 is a soundtrack compilation tied to the HBO television series of the same name. The release appeared in both vinyl and CD formats, with the vinyl edition spread across four sides.

The compilation draws from genres cataloged as Blues, Funk / Soul, Rock, and Soundtrack, reflecting the period setting of the series. The vinyl edition carries eighteen tracks across its four sides. Side A opens with "The World Is Yours" at 2:58 and continues through "Personality Crisis," "No Good," "Sugar Daddy (Theme from Vinyl)," and "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean." Side B includes "Mr. Pitiful," "Suspicious Minds," "All the Way from Memphis," and "Stranded in the Jungle," the latter running nearly five minutes. Side C moves through "I Like it Like That," "Cha Cha Twist," "It's Just Begun," "Want Ads," and "Hand Clapping Song." Side D closes the set with "Slippin' into Darkness," "Frankenstein," "Rotten Apple," and "I Just Want to Make Love to You."

The accompanying CD replicates all eighteen tracks in the same sequence, though no individual track timings are documented for the disc configuration in available records.

The double-format packaging — vinyl and CD included together — is consistent with the release's catalog entry. The title "Sugar Daddy" is specifically subtitled as the theme from the series, distinguishing it from the remaining tracks in the sequence. No volume two release information is captured within the verified data for this entry.
