James Gunn Posts Meredith Quill’s Guardians of the Galaxy Mixtape

Guardians of the Galaxy is particularly loved for its music choices, and James Gunn has posted its sought-after “mixtape” online. Gunn took to Instagram to reveal that he put together the mixtape that Meredith Quill (Laura Haddock) gave to Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill/Star-Lord as a boy, which serves as much of the soundtrack for the movie.

“Today I added Meredith Quill’s Complete Awesome Mix to my Spotify account for you to enjoy,” Gun wrote. “This is part of the list of songs Meredith Quill loved that I chose the songs for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol’s 1 and 2 soundtracks from. Some of these songs almost made it into the movie (She’s Gone) and others I always wanted to use but could never find the right place for them. Whatever the case, I never intended on sharing these songs, as I might use them in future movies. But I think the need for all of us to have some joyousness in these difficult times outweighs all that.”

The full mixtape is below via Spotify, along with the Instagram post.
