London-based record label Data Discs is planning on selling vinyl editions of the soundtracks for Shenmue and Streets of Rage this September.
Data Discs says that its aim is to “showcase the creativity of game composers and bring their (often overlooked) works to audiences both new and old.” To achieve this, it carefully selects from what it considers to be the best soundtracks out there and then remasters them before putting them on vinyl.
You can listen to a couple of remastered tracks from the Shenmue soundtrack on Data Discs’s Soundcloud page.
Pre-orders for the vinyl editions of the soundtracks on the Data Discs website went up on May 30th. There will apparently be exclusive editions available to those who pre-order early on.
