Lin-Manuel Miranda - Hamilton: 10 Shots [Highlights, Purple LP]

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton: 10 Shots distills the groundbreaking Broadway phenomenon into 10 essential tracks personally curated by the show's creator. This indie exclusive edition on purple swirl vinyl, playfully dubbed "Burr's Vinyl" after the musical's antagonist Aaron Burr, draws from the Diamond-certified Original Broadway Cast Recording, the first cast album in history to achieve that distinction with over 10 million copies sold. Winner of 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Hamilton revolutionized Broadway by telling America's founding story through hip-hop, R&B, and traditional show tunes. Produced by The Roots' Questlove and Black Thought, these selections spotlight all ten principal cast members, including Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson, Daveed Diggs, Okieriete Onaodowan, Anthony Ramos, Jasmine Cephas Jones, and Jonathan Groff.

The collection opens with the stirring "Alexander Hamilton," which introduces the titular character and sets the musical's ambitious scope, before "My Shot" delivers Miranda's breakout anthem of determination and ambition. "The Schuyler Sisters" showcases the show's brilliant female voices, while Jonathan Groff's scene-stealing "You'll Be Back" offers comedic relief as King George III. Renée Elise Goldsberry's show-stopping "Satisfied" demonstrates the musical's complex storytelling through backwards-flowing narrative, and Leslie Odom Jr.'s "Wait for It" became an emotional centerpiece exploring jealousy and patience. Daveed Diggs returns from his dual role as Lafayette to introduce Thomas Jefferson with the funk-infused "What'd I Miss," before "The Room Where It Happens" captures the backroom political dealings that shaped a nation. Christopher Jackson's "One Last Time" delivers George Washington's farewell address with gravitas, and the collection closes with "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story," a contemplative finale that examines legacy and remembrance.

Pressed on purple swirl vinyl and packaged with a poster featuring original Broadway cast photos, this indie exclusive edition captures the cast album's sonic richness, from intricate wordplay delivered at breathless speeds to tender ballads that reveal the characters' humanity. The single LP format presents Miranda's curated journey through the show's narrative arc, offering both longtime devotees and newcomers an accessible entry point to one of the most culturally significant musicals of the 21st century.
