Data Discs, a respected name among video game music collectors, has officially announced the reissue of several classic Sega soundtracks on high-quality vinyl.
These releases offer both long-standing fans and new enthusiasts the opportunity to own physical editions of some of the most beloved video game music, covering a pivotal era in Sega's gaming history.
In a recent statement on social media, Data Discs detailed the much-anticipated reissue lineup.
The collection includes the sought-after soundtracks of Sonic CD (£42.99), Shenmue (£23.99), Streets of Rage 2 (£29.99), Shinobi III (£23.99), and Sonic Mania (£24.99).
Each release is carefully crafted with attention to packaging quality, faithful audio reproduction, and exclusive bonuses tailored to the dedicated collector.
The remastered Shenmue, Shinobi III, and Sonic Mania soundtracks are each pressed on a single 180g colored vinyl, ideal for both audio quality and display.
The Shinobi III edition also features a foldout poster, adding a visual tribute alongside the music.
Streets of Rage 2, well-remembered for its influential soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro, receives an expansive two-disc set with 180g clear frosted LPs.
This edition stands out with additional content, including remastered tracks produced in collaboration with Koshiro, further enriched by a poster, two lithographic prints, and a variety of demos, alternate versions, and unused compositions for comprehensive archival appeal.
Undoubtedly the centerpiece of this reissue wave, the Sonic CD soundtrack is presented across three "Sonic Blue" vinyl LPs.
The package features extensive liner notes from composer Naofumi Hataya and includes three double-sided art prints sourced from original SEGA archive artwork, making it a must-have collector's item for fans of the 1993 Sega CD classic.
Pre-orders for all titles are currently available through the Data Discs website.
