What are /r/VGMvinyl's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Heads up - it's also available from Amazon Japan, which in total will most likely be cheaper for most EU people: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07TWK6XRT

Also if experiences from the Nier set is anything to go by, these will also ship out faster from Amazon.

EDIT: Even better, €55 on Amazon France: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07TNVWQB2/

I think the price might be an error, so better go for it while it's that "low"

I used to work in a record store years ago, this started my love of all things vinyl. I grabbed random things I enjoyed, rock, classical, opera, folk. The only thing that I would consider "collectible" at the time was the first pressing variant of Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction, this had a unique album cover that was changed after subsequent pressings because of the graphic nature on the front.

The first video game album I had found pressed on vinyl was the Red Dead Revolver LP. I unfortunately found out about it just after it had sold out from the publisher and was looking at a $75-$100 price tag on the market. I didn't have the cash to justify that for a single album and I was confident it would drop over time ~~boy was I wrong...

The first album I did purchase was the StarCraft II - Revolution Overdrive Vinyl. This wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it was fun to own some music related to a passion of mine. As I've been able to spend a bit more money on my hobbies than before, I've been working hard to make up for the lost years of not collecting.

I haven't purchased anything besides VGM, as a good buddy and roommate of mine has that category covered. He's a Pearl Jam fanatic and has ~1400 albums in the house.

I do listen to VGM through other mediums besides vinyl, but it's a blast tossing an album onto the player, turning off the lights, slipping on some oversized headphones and laying in bed left to your thoughts and some sweet tunes.

Cheers!

I recommend using the newer version of my website: https://blipblop.net. I don't update the old wordpress.com version anymore :)

I manage this list on Discogs as well: https://www.discogs.com/lists/Video-Game-Music-on-Vinyl/196505

But yeah, I second the idea on VGMDB as well. I've been using that a lot for keeping info up-to-date on my site + I've been gradually adding to VGMDB when I've learned about new releases.

I definitely recommend these sleeves from Amazon. I got them not too long ago and have been using them instead of the weird sleeves that come with most albums.

These ones https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CV42DNB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also available from Barnes & Nobles for US buyers - quite a price difference, though, due to it being an EU pressing: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/drive-club-hybrid/30197844

EDIT: Also on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Drive-Club-HYBRID/dp/B01IU8N8M0/

Huh, good find. Guess I misunderstood the article and that Hot Topic will just get it earlier than other retailers then. Either that, or SRC has the date wrong.

EDIT: Also available on Amazon it seems: https://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Creed-Best-Jesper-Kyd/dp/B01M1S848W/

EDIT 2: In their latest e-mail they specifically say it's exclusive to Hot Topic, so I'm not quite sure what to make of that... Timed exclusivity is my best guess...

Thanks for the lookout, I always appreciate your posts on anime vinyl. Here's the amazon link, it ships to the US. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B07LDFDC1Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it didn't display that for me earlier..i see it now though...also there's 3 if intested https://www.amazon.com/Distant-Worlds-III-music-FANTASY/dp/B07KY3XJYR/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&m=A1D4X4KSS33IZX&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&qid=1603240442&s=merchant-items&sr=1-8

​

just keep in mind.. Distand World vinyls qualities are generally whack, I personally would recommend the CD over Vinyl for this...Vinyl pressing is very subpar in my opinion (i have current 4 vinyl releases)

The first VGM vinyl I ever bought was the Machinarium Soundtrack in February 2010. Some months later I got the Red Dead Revolver OST, but I wasn't specifically thinking in collecting video game related music at that point.

2012 was my breakthrough and I started being really interested in this genre. That year I was able to purchase some old G.M.O. and other rarities, and it hasn't slowed down to this day. I just received the 188th album in my collection.

I think the coolest one I have is this Legend of Zelda 7" that I found in a record store near Shibuya. It's not only super rare, but finally finding it in a foreign country after digging in many, many other stores without success is a great feeling.

I also have a couple of games on vinyl (not the music: the actual games that you had to copy from a flexi to a tape so you could run them on the Spectrum) but I haven't been able to test them at all. I've heard it was a nightmare making them work even when they were new!

I agree 100% with boutique vinyl having the actual content be an afterthought. I don't know how much licensing these soundtracks can be, but I know studio time and vinyl prices are not so horrible (not so horrible in that some indie labels can profit off selling new full lengths for $10 - $12) , and if your product has known demand to the degree VGM and Movie Soundtrack vinyl has had over the past two years and will continue to have, there's no way you're going to eat your losses. $40 for a double lp straight from label is a ridiculous concept.

Also I'd wager that VGM vinyl kind of had a resurgence recently thanks to bootlegging. Aside from the occasional soundtrack packaged in a NIS America preorder, I didn't really start listening to video game music outside of the games themselves until Auris Apothecary started putting bootleg game soundtracks on cassette tape back in 2011 for five bucks a pop, and Moonshake came along in 2014, then after moonshake, Data Discs, iam8bit, spacelab9 all started curating toward vgm collectors. I mean, look at the conversation six years ago https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/629149 - it was barren. There were DJ battle breaks and like the occasional, somewhat obscure, full soundtrack would pop up. I'd say moonshake helped start the interest in this stuff again (Anamanaguchi did too I'm not forgetting them), because without the buzz to back it up, I doubt any game publisher besides indie publishers would have given this the time of day.

Is that so? I'm super jealous. /u/rpbtz would probably be interested in info on whatever LPs you have that aren't on Discogs. He's been compiling a list on discogs featuring all video game music on vinyl (that he can find). He also runs a blog cataloging them.

You're welcome! If you're okay with ordering on Amazon, they have it for preorder here and here

Just a simple set of quality bookshelf speakers will be a big improvement. I recommend the Fluance Ai61's.

If you don't want to spend that much you can get a set of Ai41's as well, and they'll still be a nice upgrade.

Amazon OST

I tried many sleeves. This is what i consider the best product on the marked:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B076YJ9T38/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00

My recommendations:

Outer Sleeves:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07816ZPKH/?coliid=IE14LLOE97PM8&colid=3OHMME6VFHP7V&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Inner Sleeves:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MPL2QGD/?coliid=I38SI786NO00BL&colid=3OHMME6VFHP7V&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

slightly more than retail but if you want it, recommend getting it https://www.amazon.com/Cowboy-Bebop-Original-Soundtrack-Seatbelts/dp/B08F65S419

Check out amazon, they are seemingly still taking orders, I guess they have yet to receive their iam8bit stock they orderered.

No guarantees though, but thats how I placed my order for this record.

It's also on Amazon, which should provide much cheaper international shipping, but without the bonus stuff. Not sure about the color on the Amazon one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078XX7DXF

You can listen to the Lickitung song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4e4b5UZ4qQ

FYI, the box is still available on Amazon Japan for a little over $70 (+ shipping): https://www.amazon.co.jp/NieR-Automata-Replicant-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B075WKDQZ6/

(edit: not incl. shipping and potential fees though)

it's still available on Amazon US with free shipping for US prime members

amazon jp

You’re welcome! Amazon has the brown one for like $34 and free shipping: Victrola Vintage Vinyl Record Storage Carrying Case for 30+ Records, Brown https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVWC8F5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HrmmDbMY6DA89

For people interested and located in Canada, it is available for pre order as well. Same edition with one of the vinyl coloured. https://www.amazon.ca/Control-Original-Game-Soundtrack-Vinyl/dp/B08BF14HLH

Middle-earth Limited Collector's Edition (Blu-ray + DVD) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JH3KL0E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KodPBbXYAK61K

It was announced at $799 and launched at like $599 after backlash I think. It's just a nicely packaged collection of the movies, I'm pretty sure there's no additional new content and I doubt the packaging had that much of a premium.

Just something cheap from Amazon. There are some nicer wooden ones I considered, but I like how these clear ones just disappear.

I also just used some double sided adhesive instead of drilling into the wall. Seems fine so far.

Only issue is if you wanted to display a bigger box set, then you'd wanna opt for deeper displays, and definitely drilling them in. But with this setup, gatefolds and double/triple LPs are doing just fine.

If you're based in EU, Amazon.de have a listing for it. The shipping might be bad for America but feel free to check it out!

This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/KAIU-Vinyl-Record-Storage-Holder/dp/B0711CMFDZ. I have 66 7" singles in it currently and can probably fit about 6-8 more, depending on thickness. All my 7" have Sleeve City inners and outers.

There's also one on Amazon that will (Supposedly) release on October 21st, it will just be Orange instead of Yellow, and won't include the bonus 10"

Canadian people the album is also available on amazon.CA!

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BGNKVQPN/?coliid=I3ULLHTQ5O6J0X&colid=1SX9RAVASF2L7

far FAR cheaper to get there instead of any other website. If you have free shipping is goes to 199$ CAD instead of $195 USD. That's a 68$ price difference with currency exchange!

Rplying to you again to warns you that it is now up in the canadian Amazon site!

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BGNKVQPN/?coliid=I3ULLHTQ5O6J0X&colid=1SX9RAVASF2L7

Is it far FAR cheaper than on US or any other website!

They do in the US website: https://gear.playstation.com/Product/1536207-Horizon_Forbidden_West_Complete_OST_Deluxe_Edition

also it is available on amazon.COM which ship to Canada (it was actually 5$ cheaper on amazon for me)

There is a listing on amazon.CA but currently it's "temporally out of stock". https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BGNKVQPN/?coliid=I3ULLHTQ5O6J0X&colid=1SX9RAVASF2L7

The same happen with Returnal vinyl. it was out of stock for a while on the Canadian site but eventually they added it so what I did is ordered from the US amazon and once it was available in Canada I order it and cancel on US.

i have 2 different options.

these are for the 'smaller' sets and fit pretty tight

then these are larger and looser

I personally use these - Vinyl Fever sleeves after reading a review of a bunch and trying a few, I prefer them over other external sleeves I've tried.

Internal sleeves, I like the Sleeve City Audiophile over their double version. Definitely the nicest I've come across so far. If your record came with a nice wax lined inner sleeve great but not many do these days; paper ones go right in the trash and get switched out.

Outer sleeves are a preference but I'd definitely recommend using a nice inner sleeve.

It's on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Two-Crowns-Soundtrack-Extended/dp/B09RMWC82C

Wouldn't be surprised to see it go up on other US stores as well. The label's US store also had it up, but it's listed as sold out from there unfortunately.

I got this on Amazon](WeHappyFewTimeCapsulehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B074R75HF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WR0ACX08FR9E4JX9TGXJ) for $30.

It also comes with a steam code for the game, vinyl soundtrack, a replica mask, alarm clock, light up sign and a few other things.

I never really got into the game but I might give it another try. The soundtrack for a pretty groovy.

Check out “the make believes” on streaming service for some of the songs from this soundtrack.

I may be wrong, but they look like the Vaultz Vinyl Cases from Amazon, I have a few of them myself, again I could be wrong, but the ones I have are pretty good quality if you're looking for vinyl cases like the ones the the pictures. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BFS5YYQ/ref=ox\_sc\_saved\_image\_5?smid=A3MBJ9LSQAUIC0&th=1

For people not in the US it's FAR cheaper to order on Amazon.com

https://www.amazon.com/Returnal-Original-Soundtrack-Bobby-Krlic/dp/B09VPY7NK7

I'm in Canada and Milan was asking me $32 usd for shipping alone. Amazon only charge $9 for shipping. My whole amazon order was cheaper than the Milan shipping option lol

I don't believe there are any full cover albums for F-Zero on vinyl. Only thing I can think of is the brief orchestral version in the "Gaming Legacy Medley" on this album: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QGX627G/

Can be streamed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYkmjy3Mk4E

Found it still in stock here

Amazon UK (42.60 GBP)

Just For Games FR (50 dollars)

I recently bought this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MVPRSHZ/ref=asc_df_B07NX6VTKF1640019600000?tag=georiot-trd-21&ascsubtag=trd-gb-2628554205797863400-21&geniuslink=true&th=1&psc=1

Nice collection! I've been thinking about grabbing the Namco Museum set just for nostalgia. Though I just saw that Cowboy Bebop is getting a fancy blu ray collector's edition re-release that will include a 2xLP soundtrack, so I might have to hold off and set aside money for that. ;)

I took a picture just a few days ago for a friend who asked what all soundtracks I had picked up on vinyl. Couple shows / films mixed in, but it's mostly VGM so far. This link should be publicly viewable: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOE98rYyk9OfU3g5qJp32E7l7da9FKo834oqzcL6xUvKQgguDINMxG8yICC0Cncig?key=QkVucjhlYUV4MXR3SmtISWdmM3J3SzQ1S3NNY0V3

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Input-64-A-Collection-Of-Commodore-64-Game-Music-1984-1989/release/27130 is supposedly a bootleg since they didn't get permission from the musicians. It's also recorded off an emulator I think, it does sound off.

All I have on the other two... is almost nothing, just an empty white label and no run-off markings. I found out from a demo forum that the Atari ST release was done by a demo coder in the Netherlands. The Amiga one was created by another demo coder from the same group but in Germany. The Amiga one sounds like total shit, btw.

I can take photos, though I said I was going to record a comparison of the two castlevania albums and haven't done that yet either. :P

Do you have some links for some of those? I think I only know about these two: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Input-64-A-Collection-Of-Commodore-64-Game-Music-1984-1989/release/27130 + https://www.discogs.com/Various-SID-Chip-Sounds-The-Music-Of-The-Commodore-64/release/3414723 (both of which are legit afaik)

The CD portion at the top did give me pause, but nowhere on the actual item does it state that it is a CD. This piece looks very similar, but it is a CD and isn't themed to the Bioshock universe.

Maybe I'll throw a tweet out to 2K and see if they can provide an answer.

I'm actually hoping it is a CD as this would be one less thing my obsessive mindset would need to obtain down the road.

One point in favor of it being a CD is that this promo item was, theoretically, being pressed around the same time and they chose to not have the open inner.

Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087PQTR3Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm kind of meh on them, they have a little cut out slot that isn't well suited for the bigger VGM collections.

these guys! i wouldnt reccommend putting them up without a slip cover holding them tightly though cause they do warp otherwise

Here are some pictures. It's 16g total and that got me from 3.2g to 1.8g tracking force. These are the weights I used.

Since the game is Spanish, here un Spain we got any edition with the CD ost and DLC and other extras.

Like many are saying I'd stay away from an all in one. The sound is usually no better than your phone speakers and can mess up your vinyl after a long period of time.

My suggestion would be get an audio technica turntable online or at your local shop (if you live in an area that has them) if you want to save money from here. Go down to a thrift store and look for a receiver and some speakers.

If you want to just buy a nice starter turntable and speakers that you just plug in and play. Check this link out https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VDGWJYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_CHRWDDZH3A6AGRSR7VS1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Also this article tells you some basics about owning a turntable. But there are a ton of "beginners guide to buying a turntable" online https://pitchfork.com/features/article/9871-how-to-buy-the-best-turntable-and-stereo-system-for-your-record-collection/

Hope this helps.

Up on Amazon, it comes from Amazon Global UK too, with prime you get free international shipping. It's "Temporarily out of Stock" but you can order it.

Just an FYI if you want to take a shot.

https://www.amazon.com/Nier-Gestalt-Replicant-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B075WJT4BW/

I use these. Although he looks to be using something different, that's a bit less stealthy and wider, and I don't think it has the 3D look since the top of his records are leaning back against the wall.

I have 75 on my wall, about 5 years now, and you can't notice the transparent mount at all. Each of mine is held up with 2 thumb tacs only. If you want better results, I'd use command strips, one on the top portion and one on the bottom. This is so the mount remains fairly level so your "art work" isn't all zig zagging. Honestly it takes a lot of work to get these things straight, level, and adjusted to the perfect height so your record jackets fit in without falling out, but worth the weekend trouble. Leaves no damage either, actually probably a lot better for the record art since it's not being squeezed between hundreds of other records.

I use these and they seem to fit everything up to and including a 3xLP 180g gatefold. I know you can get larger ones for larger packages but I'd recommend something over nothing for sure. I even leave the shrink wrap on after carefully slicing it open but that's just me.

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07816ZPKH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_PEJD3P1EYC51EHJ6B5EK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry to be so blunt but why would you knowingly choose to hang your vinyl records with a method that has a fairly decent chance of damaging your outer jacket? Why not just choose a different method? Especially those albums, you have some nice pricey albums there. God forbid if one day you ever had to sell one of them and you didn't get full value because you got drunk one day and scratched it up taking it out.

 

Even if you don't factor in the scratching this is still a poor method of hanging your albums. By using two hooks at the bottom you are creating two discrete points of pressure at the bottom. Over time this will eventually cause crease or bend marks in those areas, it might takes weeks or even months but one day it will start to show.

 

If you really want a way that shows off your album art also keeps it pretty safe, then you will want something like this wall shelf here.

It might be a little bit pricier but well worth the invest if you are trying to keep the outer jacket in mint condition as well. You have nice records, it makes me sad when I see things like this on the internet. I apologize if I am being too forward, just trying to look out for you and your records.

Thanks! They are floating shelves I bought a while ago on amazon. This is a listing for one brand, but there are loads of companies selling identical ones for lower or higher prices: https://www.amazon.com/SRIWATANA-Floating-Shelves-Mounted-Washed/dp/B07XC75B69/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=floating+shelves+white&qid=1615912768&sr=8-6

I bought it around five years ago from amazon, then I painted the frame white and the interior black. Looks like they have another version on their site: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LFYF56W/ref=twister_B08QV3KBWR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It's actually still available on UK Amazon (for the PC version) and German Amazon (for the PS4 version). They both ship to the US as far as I know.

I finally wound up canceling my order from Square. Originally it was supposed to come out last month, then it was delayed to Jan 9, then when I got another e-mail saying it was gonna be Jan 19, I just canceled it. Considering SE NA is charging $79.99 + shipping + customs tariff on arrival, it winds up being cheaper from Amazon JP with much faster shipping:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B075WKDQZ6/ (click the globe under the search bar to change the language to English--you'll need a Japanese Amazon account to order)

Apparently they are charging a lot more than when I purchased it but its still cheaper than the us amazon going rate.

It does seem that Amazon UK (not a third party seller) has a handful of what seem to be the Mondo second pressing. I put in an order for one and will update whenever it actually arrives.

This might be a silly question but will a copy bought from amazon France be different to one bought from amazon.com? Will it have French text or anything like that? I'm keen to take up that cheaper price but wouldn't want the packaging or track list to be in French.

Noted this in a reply to another comment, but it will be available from several retailers.

It's already up for preorder on Light In The Attic and UK Amazon and will most likely show up several other places over the next few weeks.

I think it might be an imported version of the same product. Searching that UPC (4988601467216) brings up the vinyl set on CDJapan, Play-Asia and Amazon Japan. Amazon Japan has a second edition simply listed as "import" with a different UPC. Conversely, that Best Buy UPC pops up on US Amazon for an edition specifically labelled "import," and it's similarly priced to Best Buy https://amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-Remake-Limited/dp/B07TWK6XRT

Why not get a 4x2 Kalax and add legs to it for a more mid century modern look? Also get it off the ground as well like you were looking for.

Distant Worlds II Link

I use a deer leather slip mat with my Fluance RT82. I was going to try acrylic slip but I read that it’s possible for your record to physically slip while playing and possibly scratching with an acrylic mat. I didn’t want to risk it. Leather is also naturally anti-static.

Honestly, if you have coveted vinyl and want to listen to them, it’s worth opening up your budget and getting a better player vs a low end base model. The Fluance RT series requires you to have your own preamp. Even people with the audiotechna LP120 prefer to disable the onboard preamp so they can use their own.

Also r/vinyl weekly help thread has lots of information to look through about purchasing a player and you can get feedback from people there too.

This is the leather slip mat that I purchased. He hand cuts and makes them.

I've had my LP120 for about 8 years. Great turntable. I use this acrylic mat instead of the felt one that comes with it. Sounds and looks good. Definitely a good investment.

I've been using these. They're great for single LPs but get a bit tight for doubles. I've had them rip on triple LPs.

https://www.amazon.com/50x-Vinyl-Record-Outer-Sleeves/dp/B078GD1H5B/

It's an LP with 8 tracks. Side A feature four arrangement tracks and Side B features the same four, but as original tracks.

It's also up on Amazon Japan here: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08GLR2LP6/

Never used this site before, and I'm not sure if it's a straight up crowdfunding or what it is. The label Silva Screen is legit, though. And it looks like there's also an unavailable listing up over on Amazon.

It's not been officially announced, but there's a listing on Amazon, which does indicate it will come later this year: https://www.amazon.com/Minecraft-Beta-lenticular-Jacket-color/dp/B086KQ5SH6/

Its release date was originally around now, but they pushed it until December (which I think is just a placeholder until they figure out when they can deliver, but that's just me guessing).

If you don't mind the slight markup, it's still available for pre-order at Amazon for $96.98 with free shipping if you have Prime:

I don't know how well things come from Amazon on the used market, as I've only bought from them new, but there are a few here, if you want to take a flyer on it.

Looks like there are a few left.

It was a EU/UK release I think? I have not seen an official listing on Amazon in the US, but here is the UK Amazon with the track listing. It does not cost too much more to buy from a reseller on Amazon US if that is where you are located.

Maybe search and hit up /r/vinyl. Only thing I can find is a something like this. I have no idea about quality tho

Amazon says June 15th, https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Colossus-Original-Video-Soundtrack/dp/B079JCLP23/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528338818&sr=8-1&keywords=shadow+of+the+colossus+vinyl not entirely sure how accurate they are. They also have Jhoto Legends for the same ship date as well.

2 is up right now on Amazon.

I listened to it on Bandcamp (I think). The composition was pretty sub-par. There were times the piano sounded out of tune. I'm a huge fan of the Undertale soundtrack and most all of the remixes. I've liked a wide range of Undertale remixes from the polka vibes of Lenich & Kirya Podskazka to the dance vibes of Hopes & Dreams by Arcien, but this one was a let down in my opinion.

Might be too late, but you're better off ordering it from amazon.

I have the Audio-Technica AT-LP120 hooked up to my Sonos Play 5 and stream all my vinyl music throughout my home via my other wireless Sonos speakers. Do not skimp out on your record player if you are investing in very expensive records. Mine is the very low end of the premium tables that you can buy. Make sure that the table you have has a proper counter-weight so you don't destroy your records with improper tracking force.

Also make sure that you find a protractor for your specific table and align your cartridge, and any future one you install. This is essential in tracking the grooves on your vinyl perfectly, one way to the left or right will cause unnecessary damage to your grooves as well as your needle.

One last thing, always, and I mean ALWAYS open the vinyls you buy. Leaving them in the manufacture plastic wrap will warp your precious little record to hell over time. Always make sure the inner sleeve is a proper non paper wrap. The records that come with paper wraps that have the anti-static lining are awesome, but replace any others with these: https://smile.amazon.com/Mobile-Fidelity-Record-Inner-Sleeves/dp/B001LQSFKY

And always clean any new record you buy!

Welcome to the club!

Amazon also carries it. If you have prime it might be a good idea to pick it up from there for the free 2 day shipping.

An official announcement on the TF2 blog was just published and it links directly to this store page.

I am a huge fan of this game and its music. I didn't post this in the comments of either of the previous threads because the option to get a poster was BIG NEWS for me and I figured there might be others who would be really sad to miss this option.

You might also be interested in knowing that the album is back up on Amazon at a lower price: https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Songs-Music-Team-Fortress/dp/B06VX1Y55S

According to the details on Amazon UK, there are a number of things to note of the LP release:

• DELUXE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL
• 12” COLLECTIBLE POSTER OF ORIGINAL COVER ART
• CLEAR PVC OUTER SLEEVE WITH BATTLEFIELD LOGO
• MIXED AND MASTERED FOR VINYL
• INCLUDES DOWNLOAD CARD OF DIGITAL ALBUM (8 Bonus Tracks)

A whole new mix and master for vinyl makes it very tantalizing to get.

A quick Google search reveals that this will be available from a lot of stores. Also available on Amazon for those interested: https://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Original-Soundtrack-Vinyl-Download/dp/B01M8MR9BH/

I wonder how expensive it will be.

The human revolution soundtrack is 84€ in Germany directly from Amazon which is a fucking joke.

If I can buy a soundtrack on 6 LPs recorded by 2 professional orchestras for even 10 bucks less (Final Fantasy in Tokyo and London by the symphony guys), I am sure as shit not going to pay that much for a fully digitialy made OST.

But it comes directly from Square Enix, so I shouldn't be surprised. Their EU pricing for the FF picture discs was a fucking joke as well with like 30 or 40 bucks shipping from Britain to Germany which is insane.

I switched out the inner sleeves that came with the records with the Diskeeper 2.0 Anti-Static Record Sleeves and they fit much better. Shame though, they really should package them better.
