Written and Directed by Richard Curtis and released in 2003, Love Actually has gone on to become a firm festive favourite. This romantic comedy film set at Christmas tells the stories of eight very different couples, many of whom are shown to be interlinked as the plot progresses. Its stellar ensemble cast is made up of renowned Actors including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Laura Linney and many more.
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the film, UMR are releasing a 20-track, limited edition, coloured vinyl pressing of the soundtrack. The 2LP album features an eclectic mix of up-tempo pop hits, romantic ballads and Christmas classics from Artists including Girls Aloud, Norah Jones, Texas, Joni Mitchell, Otis Reading, The Beach Boys and more, alongside 3 tracks from Composer Craig Armstrong’s enchanting film score. The artwork features images of some of the film’s most memorable characters and scenes as well as sleeve notes by its Director Richard Curtis.
The original soundtrack release reached number one on the Official UK Albums Chart and is certified 2x Platinum to-date – if that were not testament enough to how significant this collection of music is, then perhaps Richard Curtis sums it up best…
