Trouble In Mind - Big Bill Broonzy

Advantages: Has a wide variety of musical pieces, songs and speeches. Is easy to listen to!

...to that of the film. The casing is yellow with a black stripe also showing a splash of blood. The yellow and black is to remind us of ‘Black Mamba’s’ also known as ‘The Bride’ (Uma Thurman’s) yellow tracksuit that she wears when she goes on her revenge attack against Oren Ishii. There are also in a big print the words, ‘A Quentin Tarantino Film, KILL BILL Vol.1, Original Soundtrack.’ The inside cover leaflet contains pictures of clips from the film, displaying most of the main characters such as Oren Ishii (Cotton Mouth), ‘The Bride’ (Black Mamba), Go-Go.
