Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> was charming throughout, but what really made it special was all the references to 80s pop culture. One of the best parts of the film was when Peter Quill was sitting in The Milano<\/em> and popped in his Awesome Mix Vol. 1 cassette tape. The songs on it couldn\u2019t have been more out of place in the context of a space opera, but they managed to complement the movie perfectly. Hooked on a Feeling; Moorage Daydream; I Want You Back<\/em>. All classics.<\/p>\n

While the soundtrack has been available in a variety of ways since the movie\u2019s release, a limited edition cassette is set to hit ahead of the movie\u2019s Blu-ray release on Dec. 9. The tape itself plays a big role in the film and, fittingly, the real-life version will be an exact replica of the movie prop, complete with a song list and weathered look. Folks who buy the cassette will also get access to a digital download.\u00a0If you\u2019re a die-hard collector, you\u2019ll definitely want to track one down when it hits select record stores on Nov. 28.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how many copies will be produced (Billboard<\/em> also doesn\u2019t reveal price), but you can bet they\u2019ll sell quick. Even if you do manage to track one down, the challenge will definitely be finding an actual cassette player. Still, the point is to own part of the movie, so folks who purchase it probably won\u2019t mind that it\u2019ll just be a nice prop on a shelf.<\/p>\n
