I've been waiting for a physical box set with a soundtrack, like the Life is Strange one I bought, but this is even better. That also means I have no idea how good (or bad?) the soundtrack is though. Are there any good tracks on there?

I'm curious about this as well. I haven't played the game but I don't want to buy a physical version if I don't know if the music is any good or not.

I've only played episode one so far, but here's the full soundtrack and score... no idea if this is all on the vinyl, but I would hope so, with 4 LPs:
http://life-is-strange.wikia.com/wiki/Soundtrack_(Prequel)

my guess is 2 LPs for the score by Daughter, and 2 LPs for the remaining licensed music.

For what it's worth, I thought the music in the first epsidoe was great.

The Life is Strange vinyl is listed as releasing on 09/03/2018 when you try to purchase it on Square's EU store. Bought 2 because I hate money but love LiS...

I really liked the soundtrack, the menu music in particular really sets the tone for the game. I'd leave it playing in the background constantly.



Pretty good price considering how much stuff is included.

Here's a link to a post I made with episode 1 and episode 2 music on it, with links to Spotify and Apple Music.
Reminds me I need to update it with ep3.

That LiS vinyl looks hot, was waiting for something like that. Does the Na Square store ship internationally?

I'm in AU so I guess I'm boned. EB has the LE game though, better than nothing.
Ah, bummer. Just checked and it seems you're right. From SE EU's FAQ: "You may order products from European countries and Australia. Please note that we do not ship physical products to Australia."

Maybe you can use a proxy service? Don't know any in Europe, though...

Just got my Nier collection from Amazon jp, they shipped it on Wednesday and I've already got it. DHL seems like a really good service, the driver even called me when he was walking to my place. Now if usps would deliver my records from Best Buy that they want to play games.

4 small vinyls? Guess I can pass then.
Yeah... as much as I wanted it, 4x 7" records is just... not for me. If it was a standalone purchase for a lot cheaper, I'd probably go for it, but all the other stuff in the deluxe set isn't of much interest to me. Not $80 shipped, anyway.

Damn this self-restraint I have in 2018. LOL. I haven't placed a single order this year! Only SOR3 (which I ordered last year) is on the way.

Just wondering if anyone here ordered the VA-11 Hall-A vinyl from Black Screen Records and if so, have you had yours shipped yet? I ordered way back in November when it was listed as shipping in December, but then I assume that was delayed to Jan 18th (or 15th going by Twitter) and yet still nothing.

NieR sounds amazing

Records are so fucking cool

My local shop has a 70s Japanese rock album and it's great but it's $70 hmmmmm


(Can't find it but this is by the same artist)

I had a pleasant surprise today when Amazon shipped my Persona 5 vinyl. I really wasn't ever expecting that to get sent, honestly.

Please post impressions of the sound. I decided I didn't want to fuck with iam8bit after I got my buddy The Last Guardian and it sounded horrible but I'd be happy to see them improve

Got my preorder for Panzer Dragoon Saga in. That'll be awesome to receive in April, and I can't wait for the digital release next Monday!

Polygon have a nice articleup chatting with Panzer Dragoon Saga composer Saori Kobayashi and Brave Wave about this new release. Most interestingly Kobayashi would like to do the same thing with Orta in the future.

I'm drawing the line, I swear, I won't continue to order from them. I won't. This is a hard one to turn down, but no.

From my understanding as far as video game vinyls go Brave Wave and Data Discs are top notch so I usually just keep an eye on what they're doing

BW and DD are definitely the best. Laced Records are good too. Mondo also. To be honest even when ThinkGeek has done stuff (Mass Effect, Dark Souls) that stuff has been decent. iam8bit is just an outlier with shameful quality control. People do get good quality records out of them, but they ship a lot of disgraceful stuff too. I think they get away with it because an awful lot of their customers probably never actually play the records and just buy them as collector's items, but, yeah.

So far all my VG stuff is from Data Discs and Mondo, and recently the Nier set from SE. I preordered the Panzer Dragoon Saga release from BW.
