Proper Records, in partnership with Universal Music Recordings, are thrilled to re - release the legendary soundtrack of the blockbuster film 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', written and directed by the brilliant Guy Ritchie. First launched on Island Records in September 1998, it swiftly became an essential album and is often hailed as one of the all - time best movie soundtracks. The film, released in August 1998, revolutionized the British gangster genre and established Guy Ritchie as a top - tier writing and directing talent. It combined filmic styles, humor, violence, and more, leaving an indelible mark on cinema. It also catapulted Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones to stardom.
