I know, but its a hassle for us europeans. Was hoping to save on shipping.
Mondo's Castlevania's came to a bunch of UK retailers eventually so wouldn't surprise me if Contra did the same in a couple weeks.

Did Castlevania 4 ever come out?
They haven't come out and said anything, that was just my speculation. I think the packaging is very nice, but I am a crazy person who buys a ton of vinyl and doesn't own a record player. I got the LE variant for 55 shipped; I think it was worth it. I look at indie vinyl as a way to give devs more money for their great games.I don't know anything about the error. I am in the process of moving. I haven't even had the chance to see it glow in the dark yet.
I mean if we are stretching I guess you can call it a tri-fold because of that, but I mean I paid 58.75 if they want to claim that adding some bushes that wrap around the record as the 10-11 month wait bonus I would have just not said anything at all. This is also my first Iam8bit order so I believe I paid the premium that constitutes the little cardboard wrap I don't think that year delay earned me it.
Also for example I am fairly certain I paid them $35 flat at San Diego Comic-Con for the Battletoads vinyl that opened up and played music.
Black Screen's Mystery Bundle 2 is coming soon.

I ended up getting three of the four records from the first bundle separately, and Black Screen's overall vinyl quality is top. Still, a gamble is a gamble. I would at least appreciate some clues, no? Like what genres the soundtrack are or something.
Transmission in the UK have a few copies of the FEZ repress for the EU crowd: http://transmissionrecords.co.uk/sh...xclusive/?mc_cid=2edd911bc9&mc_eid=1eb7377c8f
It's not cheap (at all), but at least there's no worrying about customs.

I now have my copy of Ori (not the LE, just regular Blue & Purple, but it is otherwise identical)
I'm with you on this. Is it nice packaging? Absolutely. But it's not something that warranted additional hype months after missing their original release window... it was originally August, wasn't it? Oh well, just glad to finally have it in my possession. I'll be spinning it tonight!
Respect knuckles, let's be vocal!I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'd take standard album sleeves with standard black vinyl pressings any day over fancy and gimmicky attempts to stand out. This is especially true when I notice that the cost looks to have received an uptick as a result.
I see this trend with all these game releases to try and stand out, or make every single item be a unique and special edition when it's so not necessary.

Black Screen Records' new Mystery Bundle can be preordered now: http://blackscreenrecords.limitedrun.com/products/584591-mystery-bundle-002
Maybe one of those is Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath since Oddworld Inhabitants teased that on Twitter a while ago? New 'N' Tasty's soundtrack was released through Black Screen Records IIRC.
The Dear Esther repress on gold vinyl is also up for preorder now: http://blackscreenrecords.limitedrun.com/products/584004-dear-esther-official-game-soundtrack
Oh snap, I might have to oh snap that Conjure One album.According to this list of RSD leaks the Watch_Dogs 2 OST will be released for RSD in just 700 copies: http://thevinylfactory.com/news/record-store-day-2017-exclusives-list-rumour/
We've tried to be vocal, but you still see people popping up saying "But I have to buy (xxxxxx) from iam8bit, it's my favourite game!".Respect knuckles, let's be vocal!

oooohh. I wonder who will be selling this
I saw that Jeremy Parish got a review copy of Castlevania 3. I assume that would mean Mondo will be announcing a sale date soon.
how is the quality of thinkgeek's pressings? wondering about the Division LP that's going up tomorrow. $35 is kind of steep though.
Thinkgeek is just doing distribution, the record was made by Spacelab9 (who did the Fallout, Mega Man and Assassin's Creed releases). I've had no issues with their releases.
Where did you see the price?
I couldn't find a working link to the product page on their site, even though it showed one according to Google, so I just went to the cached version from a few days ago
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...k.com/product/jork/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Good find! Interesting that the cached version says "20 songs straight from the game", while Spacelab9's social media posts said that it's 20 previously unreleased songs.
So are they songs used in the game, but not released as part of the original soundtrack (which has been previously released, although not on vinyl)?
Yeah, you need to tell them that. Tweet it or something, but don't let them get away with it.LOL, fucking iam8bit.
I was charged $3.32 from USPS because iam8bit didn't pay the correct postage. The delivery agent said that they underpaid and I would have to pay the difference to get the package.
Had to cut a check to USPS because iam8bit is shit.
I was never going to order from them again, but this just cements it.
Soooooo.... About Ori...
Remember how Undertale had a missing note or two on the Snowy track?
Well, maybe it's just me, but it seems like the very first track on Ori starts mid-first-note. I haven't compared if to the Spotify version yet. It's not as jarring as the Snowy error, I think, but it doesn't sound right to me...
Anyone else?

Got my first vinyl game soundtrack (and turntable) this week!

Is there a vinyl version of the OST from Jet Set Radio, Hotline Miami and Shovel Knight somewhere?
I'd wager iam8bit don't even know how to use a turntable.Sheesh. See, here's the thing, when you press vinyl, you get a few test presses. You're supposed to take that test press and listen to it on a couple different record players, and obsess over the quality of every second of it to make sure there aren't any mistakes, skips, surface noise or distortions in that test press to make sure the press will be fine before you do 1000+ copies with an error made by the plant.
And before that, when you make the premaster that's used to cut the plate to press the test presses with, you're supposed to obsess over every second of that too. Someone, multiple people even, who know the record inside out, should be checking that disc so that you don't get a test press that's perfect except for a mistake you made in the premaster phase.
Missing a few notes on the Undertale soundtrack is just mind boggling to me as someone who has been involved in putting out tapes, CDs and vinyl. I've never listened to anything more carefully than the masters I've handed over for duplication.
Hotline Miami: Yes but sold out

What is the likelyhood of this wrecking my tunes?

EDIT INFO:
I don't have room for separates or a dedicated turntable, because I'd get full decks and a mixer if I could. Just after some casual spinning if the mood arises.
