Here's the press release for the Mega Man album:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (JUNE 9th, 2015)
“MEGA MAN: BEST OF MEGA MAN 1-10” LP ANNOUNCED

June 9, 2015 – One of the most iconic franchises in the world of video games, Capcom’s MEGA MAN, gets ready to make its official vinyl debut care of SPACELAB9. Ever since 1987 when the “blue bomber” first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System, fans have been drawn to the high octane action and colorful cast of villains unleashed by the sinister Dr Wily – not to mention some of the most iconic and memorable musical moments in the history of console gaming. Featuring music from Capcom’s hit 8-bit franchise spanning from 1987 to 2010, the MEGA MAN: BEST OF MEGA MAN 1-10 Deluxe LP features 22 tracks hand-picked by the Capcom Sound Team themselves.

In a unique twist, SPACELAB9 has invited fans to decide, via social media poll, which of their favorite level bosses will get their own colored vinyl variant. The poll enables fans to vote for up to four of their favorite bosses including Cutman, Elecman, Metalman, Snakeman, Skullman, Crystalman, Blizzardman, Flameman, Cloudman, Galaxyman, Nitroman, Commandoman, and Strikeman. Fans can cast their votes on Tumblr at:http://spacelab9.tum...nction-var-opst or directly from SPACELAB9.com at http://www.spacelab9.com/poll/

Voting closes on Friday, June 12th at 12pm noon EST. Poll results and additional details about the MEGA MAN: BEST OF MEGA MAN 1-10 Deluxe LP album package will be announced the following week.

Any chance at an NA release?

I have no idea. Eurogaffers can fence a copy to you.

US Gaffers can send me a PM if interested, i can look into shipping costs.
fake edit: looked into it in general terms. Shipping a vinyl box from here to USA with tracking would be around 30&#8364;. So 50&#8364; vinyl, 20&#8364; Square shipping = 100&#8364;(110$) shipped to USA.

Not that bad; hopefully some of you (I know you're in the EU Noise) U.S. folks can help me out with the Mega Man LP. ;)

By the way; I've recently bought the reprint of FC3 Blood Dragon LP; not pink, but hey.
 
another Dreamcast collection on sale in Discogs for 70EUR... hnnnnggghhhh



it's good to have in any format :) i struck gold and found a pink one online for 35$ just this April.
That seems kinda pricey for what it is. IIRC most of the music isn't from DC games. It had the Crazy Taxi music from the HD port i.e. Not Offspring/Bad Religion. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

Ghostly is taking preorders for a Minecraft vinyl release.

Thanks for the heads up, missed out on the LE green one. Found it here for pre-order though

For the Gaf Amigabros: Dubmood put out a vinyl edition of Lost Floppies that has old cracktro/keygen tunes! :D

Just got into vinyl, the only game soundtrack I have is the Hotline Miami 2 set (and Journey preordered), as barely any of my favorite game soundtracks made it to vinyl. Though I'm contemplating getting GTA V since I enjoyed the score.

Man that Hotline Miami 2 vinyl has cost me a small fortune to get shipped to the UK, but it's on the last press and I don't want to pay scalpers prices down the line.

I'd kill for the Descent II redbook audio soundtrack on vinyl (with the far superior EU box art, of course).

One of the GOAT game soundtracks.
 
How does the HM2 soundtrack compare to the first?

It's more of the same thematically. If you were expecting a twist or evolution of the aesthetic, you might be bored, because it's more of the same kind of tracks from virtually the same pool of artists.

That said I think it's actually a better selection of tracks than the first game, so if you're down with that it's totally worth it. The vinyl collection is gorgeous, they did a nice job with it.
 
aww yeah it is not one of those "affordable hobbies" :D and the rabbithole goes deep!

I used to spend loads on vinyl but a couple of years ago I got bored and switched to comics, however it now seems that I'll be buying both!

I ended up quitting due to the increased cost of buying vinyl but I was amazed that some of these soundtracks are cheaper than standard music records!
 
Goddamn Comiccon exclusives :D Atleast Last of Us will be sold to us plebians later.

Will probably cost 80-100$ shipped to europe though so better call my bank and upgrade my creditlimit...

I would pick this up, but I'm rather bothered for why there are no Mega Man 3 tracks on this LP. I mean, did they say why the music from that game is being excluded for this release?

yeah i mentioned that too before, should be titled Megaman 1-2, 4-10 :(

Was there a different composer for that game and the copyrights are lost from capcom or something?

It shouldn't, as the Mega Man 3 soundtrack was included in previous compilations, such as the Rockman Sound Box CD collection, as well as being made available on Capcom Unity's digital store front. Perhaps it's due to space on the vinyl's?
