The release will be a single LP housed in a gatefold jacket with artwork from the game. It will be available in three different color variants – “Claptrap” opaque yellow, “Claptrap’s consciousness” green translucent with green splatter, and “Sys_Admin” purple translucent with purple splatter.
Currently there is only information out about the yellow variant, which will be available exclusively from ThinkGeek. It’s likely that the other variants will be available from Spacelab9’s own site at a later date.

The release will be a single 45RPM 180g LP. It will be housed in a single pocket jacket with original game artwork. It will feature an OBI, a lithographic print of the front art and liner notes by composer Hiroshi Kawaguchi.
As usual Data Discs will offer 3 different color variants for the release – a limited edition green translucent with purple splatter that has a special 3D lenticular jacket, a dark green translucent, and a classic black vinyl version.
As a little bonus 50 randomly chosen copies preordered within the first 48 hours will be signed by composer Hiroshi Kawaguchi.
The release is priced at £20 for the standard versions, and £27 for the limited edition. It is scheduled to release around May 31, 2018.
It can be preordered via Data Discs’ store here on May 5, 2018 at 7PM UK time (or earlier if you’re signed up for Data Discs’ newsletter passwords).
