Available for pre-order tomorrow
[Disclosure: I backed the Kickstarter for the Mother original arranged soundtrack on vinyl.]
Earlier this year, independent record label Ship to Shore PhonoCo. acquired the licensing rights to release the Mother soundtrack on vinyl for western audiences and took to Kickstarter to try and get the project off the ground. The Kickstarter campaign was a huge success, resulting in not only vinyl copies of the soundtrack being printed, but CDs as well.
In fact, the project was so successful that Ship to Shore is now planning to release the official Mother 2 soundtrack on vinyl also! Pre-orders for the album will be available starting tomorrow, and it’s expected to ship January 2016, not long after the Mother album ships. Kickstarter backers of the first album will also be able to receive a special gift if they pre-order the Mother 2 soundtrack.
The vinyl will be printed in four different designs, including red/black swirl (Giygas theme), blue/yellow split (Ness’ shirt theme), pink (hot spring theme), and classic black. They all look pretty nifty, but I think the hot spring pink option might be my favorite.
