Along with the arrival of the third season of Netflix's Stranger Things yesterday comes a new soundtrack.

Stranger Things: Soundtrack From the Netflix Original Series, Season 3 is now available on CD and digital platforms, as well as on a cassette that's available exclusively at FYE.

A vinyl edition, complete with a mini-poster and an extra 7" single, will also be for sale on July 26. Walmart, Target and Urban Outfitters will feature exclusive colored vinyl with bonus items; Barnes & Noble will offer an exclusive version of the LP with a different cover.

Back in May, a preview clip featured the Cars' "Moving in Stereo," which appears on the soundtrack. Other songs on the album include.a remix of the Who's "Baba O'Riley," Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" and John Mellencamp's "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A."

The '80s-set program also includes hits by Huey Lewis & the News (Workin' for a Livin'"), REO Speedwagon ("Can't Fight This Feeling"), Madonna ("Material Girl") and the Pointer Sisters ("Neutron Dance") made during that decade. The only new recording is "Never Ending Story" by actors Gaten Matarazzo and Gabriella Pizzolo. You can check out the track listing below.

"It's 1985 in Hawkins, Ind., and summer's heating up," explains the soundtrack's press release. "School's out, there's a brand new mall in town and the Hawkins crew are on the cusp of adulthood. Romance blossoms and complicates the group's dynamic, and they'll have to figure out how to grow up without growing apart. Meanwhile, danger looms. When the town's threatened by enemies old and new, Eleven and her friends are reminded that evil never ends; it evolves. Now they'll have to band together to survive, and remember that friendship is always stronger than fear."
