Heads up, Sonic Maniacs! If you’ve been enjoying the aural pleasures of Tee Lopes’ Sonic Mania soundtrack until now, then it’s probably a good idea to sit down. Data Discs, the UK-based vinyl company that has a good track record (heh) of releasing retro SEGA soundtracks, is preparing a vinyl release of the upcoming 2D platformer’s OST.
The soundtrack will be available to pre-order in two vinyl colours: blue and black. With previous releases (for Shenmue, OutRun, Streets of Rage among others), Data Discs had offered a ‘standard’ and ‘limited edition’ version of each product. We’re imagining the blue vinyl option will be the limited run, so keep your eyes peeled when it’s ready for ordering.
You will be able to pre-order the Sonic Mania vinyl from mid-July 2017, for £19.99, in three different forms, according to the Data Discs website:
– 180g Limited Edition (TBA), available exclusively from our site.
– 180g Translucent Blue
– 180g Classic Black
You can pre-order from the official Data Discs website, here. God speed. In the meantime, enjoy these images of the set. Check out that beautiful inner!
UPDATE: We have added a release date, pricing and new images to the post following the Data Disc site updating with the aforementioned info.
Any word on a Disc Soundtrack release yet?
i saw “disk” and thought they finally annouced the physical release of the game.
Why can’t they just release it on iTunes like every other Sonic game?
They probably will, this is just like a fun collector’s piece of merch.
Also @ TSS staff, the pre-order link is missing from the article!
Whoops! Sorry about that. We’ve added the site URL into the article now. 🙂
I agree!
I hope there’s also an OST on actual CD’s as well.
Another item like the collectors edition that prob won’t release here in Aus. It’s like they hate money or something.
This is a neat novelty but…I don’t exactly have a record player…
Wow. What’s next, VHS tapes of the behind-the-scenes?
Unlike VHS, vinyl can match the quality of FLAC digital audio, and is a much more aesthetically pleasing medium to play music on. 😉
Will you be getting anymore stock?
