A vinyl record collection was announced today by Nintendo. Not by Nintendo Japan, mind you, but Nintendo of Europe and America, which is unusual. Well, according to Bill Trinen in an interview with Variety, this is an experiment, where they are gaging the interest in such physical soundtrack releases, while in Japan the CD has remained as a popular format.
They are probably underestimating the collector's value of these items, where I have imported some of the soundtracks from Japan, even though I rarely listen to CDs nowadays. And I know of other Zelda fans who have imported these as well. Records are much fancier, of course, where we actually have a record player at home, which we use every now and then, like for a fancy evening. So, I might be getting this.
Four different versions will be available... You can either go for a 2LP "best of" with 34 tracks, or an 8LP collection with 130 tracks. And each of these come in a standard edition with black records and a limited edition with colored records.
Update: the prices for this are quite heavy. It's 190€ or 195$ for the 8LP Limited Edition. And 60€ or 50$ for the 2LP Limited Edition. You can find full track listings in the My Nintendo Store:
