Is there any chance that Amazon gets the Distant Worlds vol 2 again? I need it for Terra's theme!

nooo I didn't grab the Mass Effect trilogy vinyl and now it's sold out today. The sales are part of the Bioware Store closing sale, so i doubt it's coming back

What's Brave Wave's history of re-pressings and re-issues like? I for some reason imagined their Sonic Adventure releases would be easy to obtain but the second is already sold out through their NA outlet Fangamer? Anyone have any impressions of the albums?

They sound great! SA2 is particularly nice because all of the tracks I would care to listen to are on the first disc.

I was actually just listening to SA1 yesterday! Sounds fantastic and although there are some tracks I wish made the cut I'm still happy with it overall.

Shag posted this on Facebook with "coming real soon", so keep an eye on Vinyl-Digital if you've been waiting for this. It's an instrumental hiphop arrangement of Majora's Mask tracks for those unfamiliar with it.

Back when they opened orders they announced that first press would be colored and later pressings on black vinyl, so I would assume they planned for a repress from the beginning.

Excellent. Been waiting for this since you first posted about it!

As previous posts suggest, I'm new to the world of game vinyl.

Is there any way to know is something may suddenly not be in stock anymore? I'd love to pick up the Persona 5 soundtrack eventually, but I'm not sure if I need to be in a hurry or not. It says at the iam8bit store it's on backorder for April.

Here's a GENERAL statement for anything with vinyl - You're better off ordering it asap and canceling later, than you are to wait a few days and hope for the best.

More times than not they're limited runs and never repressed, so if you don't get it for the normal price when it releases from an online shop, you're going to find it for like double that on eBay shortly after.

There's a crazy boom with everything ending up on record now.

EDIT - to your specific iAm8bit question, I don't THINK they are super cooperative with returns or cancellations, but if you want the record you should just get it. Worst case you can re-sell it for the same price to someone else.

Hard to tell, some games get a large pressing and are still in heavy demand (banjo and kazooie) comes to mind. That had a run of 3000 copies and fetches for ~150.

Then theres albums like Rogue Legacy with only 300 copies made and was msrp on third party sellers for the longest time till recently.

Then theres notoriously poor pressings like Flower from Iam8bit that fetch hefty prices despite its quality.

It's really hard to tell sometimes.

Iam8bit represses things selectively and doesn't do it often, so if it's an album you really want, better to get it sooner than later. There is never any guarantee.

edit: As tobytobes mentions, its probably in your best interest to just buy it now and sell it later if its something you really don't want.

As far as returns/refunds/cancellations on iam8bit. It is a pain, chore, and big hassle dealing with them. It took me ~4 months to hear back about an item I wanted to cancel. Just some caution about them.

That moment when I see an Audio-Technica LP120 with the MST3K mat on it and wonder why my record player is getting posted on resetera, lol.

I will never use another mat, this one is too great!
I was debating trying to go for it myself, but decided against it. I'm happy you got a copy, in any case!
Happy I got one! My local store only got five copies.

Got my RSD copy of Music From Before the Storm this morning!

PMFsP8g.jpg


Got in line 3 hours before opening, was maybe 20th in line.

Nice one, got a copy myself didn't need to queue too long at my place, was there at 7:45 for 8am opening for my copy, left 9:15.
Had confirmed they were only getting two copies but I was lucky as there was only one left in the box.

Don't forget, at least in the UK, retailers can put the remaining stock online next week so if anyone still wants it and didn't get it, may pop up on some sites next week.

Cant decided weather to get the 2 or 4 vinyl release of DOOM, the 4 disc version is over twice as much and may just be 'filler' on the other 2 vinyl!?

I haven't bought a record player yet (still reading lots of sites, as I know nothing really on the subject), but bought a few records. Went with Mother 2 and Celeste from Yatee.

Hope to get record player all set up this summer.

I had bought quite a few vinyl before I had my setup, nice to have some to start off with when you get the setup.

So, did I just miss Castlevania all together, or did Mondo stop doing those? I don't think I've seen a game OST from them in awhile.

They just released Katamari Damacy and opened preorders for God of War last week. But yeah, they've been silent on Castlevania. I recall reading that Rondo of Blood is up next, but there's no ETA that I know of.

You are right, and I am dumb.

I pre-ordered GoW recently and apparently forgot it was on Mondo.

The Data Discs release is the original soundtrack whereas the BrainWave release contains different arrangements.

Any of them orchestral?

Do you own/have heard both and can recommend which is better?

The Anniversary collection has some nice artwork so that may be worth it alone.

I hope they announce a repress soon.

If someone reads this and keeps track and would ping me if they hear anything that would be awesome. :)

Don't have either one as Panzer Dragoon isn't my cup of tea, but the fangamer link you provided has the Anniversary Arrangement album embedded from Bandcamp. Naturally you can listen to it directly from Bandcamp as well. You can also read the fangamer description as it answers most of your questions:

Relive the epic world of Panzer Dragoon Saga through these 20 songs from the game's soundtrack, all of which have been rearranged by the original composer, Saori Kobayashi.

Joining Kobayashi is Eri Ito, one of the original vocalists for the game. She lends her powerful and dramatic vocals to two songs. Five tracks are backed by the Washington D.C.-based video game music band, Triforce Quartet, with three songs featuring the backing of Boston-based flutist Maho Azuma.

More info at Brave Wave.

The release is relatively recent so it may take a while for it to get a repress, but it didn't take long for SF2 to get a repress.
