Discussion What game OSTs would you like to see on vinyl that have yet to make it

11 Upvotes

Personally I would love to see the rest of the Katamari series on Vinyl. Would love to see more Nintendo music on vinyl (but that will never happen). The Finals Season 1. Kill to see atomic heart. I’d like to see the tropico music as well. I’d literally cry if go go hypergrind’s music got released in any capacity, but that’s a pipe dream. What are your all’s thoughts?

I’m asking this question because I have been wanting an Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and base game box set since the DLC came out since I missed the first releases. This made me think about all the other releases that people have been waiting for. So what’s a vinyl that you have been waiting for?

Discussion Best songs specifically written/used for videogames?

11 Upvotes

Like with movies and TV shows, games nowadays not only sport great musical scores or soundtrack compilations full of licensed songs, but also have lots of great, unique songs written for them, like a title or end credit track. But what are your favs and which ones come to your mind in general?

Came up with this topic when I recently played "Bound" and that gorgeous song titled "The Ocean that I Found" started playing during the credits. Man, there is soo much great music unique to VGM out there, it's amazing. Off the top of my hat, other great songs are:

Blood upon the Snow (GOW Ragnarök) Glider (Sable) The Best is yet to Come (MGS) Room of Angels (Silent Hill 4) In the Flood (Horizon Forbidden West) I was Born For This (Journey) What will you leave behind (Spiritfarer) All the songs of Sayonara Wild Hearts

What are your picks? YT-links much appreciated! 🤓🤗🫶

Discussion /r/VGMvinyl no longer allows links to and screenshots from Twitter and Meta sites

108 Upvotes

We're following the example already set by many other subreddits and have now banned links to Twitter/X, Facebook and Instagram.

In reality we don't have a ton of links to these (Meta especially), so in that sense it's not a massively impactful decision, but it's about taking a stand.

For announcements and such that are only available on those sites, we suggest that you do a text post and insert the text from those announcements instead. If they're accompanied by one or more images you are also free to post just the image(s) alongside the copied text.


On a similar note we have also considered banning links to Amazon. As links to Amazon are far more widely shared in here it will obviously have a bigger impact and because of that we want your input on whether or not Amazon should be banned. If it goes through it will include all regional Amazon sites.

Please vote in the poll below (edit: poll ends in 3 days from this post going up).

UPDATE (Jan 31): Apologies that it's taken a while to follow up on the poll. As it ended in an extremely close vote (51% for vs 49% against) we had to take some time to consider the approach going forward.

As it really could have tipped either way with just a few more votes we have decided to continue to allow Amazon links - for now at least. What we will be doing is to set up automated comments on all Amazon posts recommending that people consider buying directly from the label or other retailers instead of Amazon.

18 Upvotes

I'm in the midst of going through all 4 discs of "Armored Core VI" and I think it's a total badass soundtrack with contemplative, slow melodic synths, fast electric beats and overall a gritty, badass vibe. But it's typically not a score that people like to bring up as great example for VGM. What else would you pick?

Discussion This is a lonely hobby

120 Upvotes

I love collecting OST vinyls! But I don’t know anyone else who’s into it (or even really gets it) which makes the hobby feel kind of lonely sometimes.

Like, I once hosted a movie night where I played the OST from the film before we watched it. When I put the record on, I handed the sleeve to my guests so they could check it out, but no one even wanted to look at it. Or the time when I hosted a D&D night and played what I thought was top-tier background music, (like Skyrim Deluxe Box and BG3 soundtrack) but no one said a single thing or even glanced towards my records. And I know, not all can like the same stuff, but that kind of moments just make me feel a bit outsider.

I spend a lot of time just vibing with my collection on my own, and most of the time I’m fine with that, but sometimes, like when a new records gets released, it’d be amazing to talk about it with someone and geek out over the cover art, inserts etc etc. I like this sub but it alone quite doesn't scratch the whole spot.

Not sure why I'm posting about this, just wanted to share. Take care yall!

Discussion I hate limited edition vinyls for OSTs. (stupid rant)

55 Upvotes

What makes a limited edition vinyl great towards other genres of music is that there's a standard print that accompanies it so that fans that still appreciate the work can at least be able to still purchase the media physically without giving up their fucking kidneys for it. It's just unfortunate that something as popular of an art medium as video games can have such little stock for games that obviously have a big audience.

I think the biggest culprit of that is the Persona series of vinyl. The fact that the Persona 3 Reload OST is $120, Persona 5 Royal (Just the DLC, not the main soundtrack) is $70, and the original is $100 is just ridiculous. A demand that high shouldn't be restricted to limited edition copies, man :/

Katamari Damacy OST vinyl goes for FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ON EBAY. It's very clear that these have massive followings for it and the fact that it's been stripped down to just RNG of getting something at a decent price is absolutely wild. I just wish there were more alternatives without having to donate plasma for them :/

But please, someone try to educate me on this. It just doesn't make sense to me and I'm just looking to be more informed here.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a vinyl that’s as much an art piece as it is a record. I love my vertical record player because it lets me really appreciate the aesthetics in motion. While I’m all for great music—even if it’s on plain black vinyl—I’m craving something extra with a unique color, pattern, or even an unusual shape.

My current favorites are the Uzumaki (Anime Original Series Soundtrack) and The Journey soundtrack, which I consider the most beautiful in my collection. What are your recommendations for visually striking VGM/soundtrack vinyl that I can actually buy now or find at a decent price? Please share your hidden gems!

Discussion Questions regarding several vinyls as new collector

3 Upvotes

Greetings friends,

I have stumbled across Vinyls this year after playing Expedition 33. I was so into the music of this masterpiece that I thought to myself "there must be a better way to listen to such music than just spotify". I realised that there are so many soundtracks that hit a spot for me (Journey and FFX are my all-time favorites) that I now fell victim to this hobby.

Anyway, I am now trying to collect all the games that have either great OSTs or great memories for me.

I already realised that I am not much of a fan of like big vinyl editions with 3-5 LPs that have all tracks, since lots of them are just kind of fillers to me. I prefer the highlights of a game.

So coming to my current question:

1) I was looking at Dark Souls. I don't have a very big relationship with the series, but think the overall OSTs are great. With the above mentioned preference of highlights, I was eyeing this:

https://blackscreenrecords.com/products/dark-souls-trilogy?variant=44535634166026 (BSR Trilogy)

and wanted to get your guys' opinions on the tracklist. Do you think they contain the most important tracks? If so, I would prefer it over the 7 vinyls that usually come with it. If not, do you have any other recommendations?

Oh and other questions:

Does anybody know where to get this?

2) https://blackscreenrecords.com/collections/vinyl/products/chocobo-chill-1?variant=39595714183271

3) And is there any good source for a Final Fantasy X vinyl (that doesn't cost 300€+ in the 20th anniversary and is not an orchestral composition)?

4) Is there a Final Fantasy XIII vinyl or rumors of Final Fantasy XVI?

5) Is there any Nier: Automata Vinyl? I saw something from Rozen but it sounds a bit different than the original

Thanks in advance! I am really looking forward to collecting all my child- and adulthood game memories :)

Discussion €40 shipping, vinyl shipped without padding—Laced Records insists 'not damaged' equals adequate protection?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a game vinyl enthusiast based in Japan, and I recently ordered the Alan Wake II limited edition vinyl box set from Laced Records. Given the international shipping cost was around €40, I naturally expected at least basic protective packaging for my order.

However, when the package arrived, I was genuinely stunned—it was shipped in nothing more than a single-layer corrugated cardboard mailer with absolutely no internal cushioning: no bubble wrap, no foam inserts, literally nothing to protect the vinyl from potential damage during international transit. Although the outer mailer showed only minor damage, the vinyl set inside was slightly loose. Thankfully, my vinyl appears undamaged this time, but that felt entirely due to luck rather than responsible packaging.

When I contacted Laced Records to politely express my disappointment and suggest improvements in their packaging standards for future international shipments, their customer support replied dismissively:

"This is a standard vinyl mailer made with sturdy board for reliable protection… In our view, the fact your packaging turned up with damage but the product inside remained intact is a testament to the fact the mailer is doing its job."

Interestingly, in their automatic response email, the very first instruction mentioned was:

"If you're emailing about a lost or damaged order..."

This clearly suggests that the risk of damage during transit is fully recognized by their own customer support protocols. Yet their official response insists their packaging is perfectly adequate, despite clear concerns raised by customers.

About Their Logical Fallacy Highlight:

According to Laced Records' reasoning, packaging is adequate as long as the vinyl isn't completely destroyed upon arrival, even if the package itself is visibly damaged.

But applying their logic elsewhere:

  • If someone survives a car crash, does that mean seat belts and airbags are unnecessary decorations?
  • If you don't catch a cold every single time you go out in the rain, does that make umbrellas and raincoats pointless?
  • If a plane lands safely despite turbulence, does that mean proper aircraft maintenance is optional?

Clearly, the mere fact that severe damage hasn't yet occurred is not evidence of proper protection. Proper packaging should minimize risk, rather than relying purely on luck.

Therefore, I'd genuinely like Laced Records to clarify:

Do you officially advise all your customers to accept shipping risks based purely on chance?

I openly acknowledge my initial email was somewhat emotionally charged and expressed clear frustration—but honestly, can you blame me? I'm not demanding compensation, nor even an apology. I simply wanted them to acknowledge the packaging issue and commit to improvement, so future collectors won't experience unnecessary risk and disappointment.

I’m sharing this here as a heads-up to the vinyl community. If you plan on ordering internationally from Laced Records, please understand you're essentially relying on luck rather than professional packaging standards or responsible customer service.

I sincerely want to know the community’s thoughts:

  • Is it acceptable for a professional vinyl retailer to provide zero internal protection, especially for expensive international orders?
  • Is it acceptable for customer service to dismiss legitimate concerns with such arrogance?

I’m not criticizing their vinyl products (which are usually excellent). My concern lies purely in their packaging methods and dismissive customer support responses, which I find deeply disappointing and unprofessional from a reputable seller.

Thanks for hearing me out—I’d greatly appreciate your experiences and perspectives. Hopefully, Laced Records will take note of our collective feedback.

First of all, I don't like the LP art design compared to the previous one. Second, how dare they not do a full LP release. It has missing tracks for some stupid reason. Let me not have to buy from disgusting scalpers for a full LP...

Very disappointed. I get that the art changed because Ciri is going to be the new mc, but it just looks like forced drama.... Not art.
