Hey thanks for replying. Also just wanted to thank you for your awesome site https://blipblop.net/ which I have found to be the single best resource for learning about the different Labels and releases thus far!

Funny enough, it was Outrun that led me to this question; that and Sonic Mania.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you enjoy the site :)

I haven't heard anything about OutRun unfortunately, but it's definitely in demand. As Spwni mentioned Sonic Mania have already been repressed and I can imagine it happening again. Alternatively it looks like there are still affordable copies to be found on Discogs.

I've been waiting for this for a long, long time.

Although, the original artworks for the soundtracks are the best (THE BEST), this will do.

Out of interest, how much did you pay for the SQ Trax you imported from Yahoo Japan? I've been thinking of picking this up and I'm wondering if the ones on the site right now are overpriced (12k yen)

I got a tip from a friend and won it at 4500 yen, which is by far the lowest I've seen it go for in years. But yeah, the 12k one up atm is way overpriced. I usually see it go for around 6-7k yen.

This one looks plenty good. And need I remind you that it could have been a lot worse. I still cringe whenever I pull out the Super Castlevania IV sleeve.

Ah, thanks. This is good to know what to look out for. I've really been on the hunt for both that and the FF Vinyls box set from a few years ago, but both very rare and expensive...

That's kind of an obnoxious promotion. How about just sell goods without gimmicks?

As much as the Pyre soundtrack is awesome my Bastion Ltd Ed LP and it ended up costing me a total of around £60 (cost+postage+import tax&handling fee) I just can't keep buying VG LP's, I've had to curb it which I'm sad about but it's costing me a fortune.
We need some UK/EU manufacturing or distribution deals to happen.

I jumped on this so fast. I love MOTHER 2 so owning a vinyl of its OST was a must. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for introducing me to this!! Do you when it's coming out?

I don't know, unfortunately. Vinyl Digital usually don't put up new releases until they're ready to ship, so we probably won't know until it's ready to release.

Well, you'll be my hero if you post it to the thread when it happens!! ;)

I'm stoked for Flyrule 2, Katamari Damacy, & Celeste! Just hope I can remember to keep checking on when each releases so I can score one of each.

Silent Hill OST (black vinyl) from Mondo is getting a restock this Wednesday.

Sleeping Lesson · Feb 19, 2018

You ever see something advertised as on "black vinyl" and for a second you're like "Ooh, I'll bet that looks cool!" and then you feel like an idiot?

Mr Delabee · Feb 19, 2018

I did it last week when they put the two Pyre soundtracks up, one is listed as a limited edition black vinyl.

Oh interesting, ah...

The funniest one, at least to me, was when the Stranger Things vinyl was announced, and one color variant was "VHS Black." I did have to think about that one for a sec.

That has thrown me off a few times, and the times where the most limited run color is the black version throws me off too, haha.

I know this isn't VGM related but I think it's a big enough deal that people would want a head's up.
The Lord of the Rings -Fellowship of the Rings soundtrack is being pressed to vinyl

5 discs, releasing in April. Currently listed at... $120 on Amazon.

Is it ok to mention a few games I wish got their OST released on vinyl, or that would fall under "port begging"? :)

Psst: Secret of Monkey Island, Silent Hill 2, Shardlight :P

punkmaggit · Feb 20, 2018

I'd wager Silent Hill 2 will be coming eventually.

deepFlaw · Feb 20, 2018

Is the point of the black vinyl LE for Pyre that it's sturdier or something? It's 180-gram vs 150-gram, so does that matter or is it really just the color?

Mr Delabee said:

Also, really happy I popped in here to hear about this- I was wondering if they'd do a vinyl release and hadn't heard it was up, so I guess I'm jumping on that!

Trying not to buy too many things on vinyl that I already own elsewhere, but this definitely fits the category of something I loved enough to merit that. Though I don't usually listen to the OST in full it's definitely something I enjoy listening to in that way when I do, so that concern's gone too.

I'm pretty sure Mondo confirmed SH2 as a 2018 release at their convention last year. Also, I would love Monkey Island, or any Lucasarts/Sierra adventure game soundtracks!

The campaign video also hints at more vinyl news to come from Video Games Live.

ZeroRed · Feb 20, 2018

Does anyone know if there has been any word on the Night in the Woods OST transitioning to vinyl? I did some searching and only turned up some rumors that iam8bit was associated via random posts on reddit. I just started playing this game on Switch and am really into it.

There should be no sound difference between 150 vs 180 gram. I would say it's only benefit it maybe less prone to warping (where records bend.)

As for Pyre, I think I will go with the colored release. The 180 gram release makes no difference to me personally. Though I do like the feel of 180 grams. Feels sturdy and meaty.

Thanks for the heads up and specifics. Gonna have to listen to the soundtrack and playthrough my copy to see if it's a release I am interested in.

I feel you brother. Many music records (from bands) I buy routinely are ~20 dollar range. I wish VGM records just had that pricepoint. I assume it's mainly due to low print of all of these releases that makes them that much more expensive. There are some good EU based VGM labels like Black Screen or Data Discs, so at least you guys got that going for you!

today i learned someone made a bootleg of the original Doom soundtrack, come on ID/Bethesda. Get on those Doom/Quake/Doom4 soundtracks already!

The Human fall flat deluxe package is sold out, so I am guessing there aren't many records left either. So if anyone wants to grab one I would suggest hustlin.

Total for me came out to ~48 after shipping in the United States.
