Ghost In The Shell PS1 game soundtrack is getting reissued on vinyl via U/M/A/A

U/M/A/A are reissuing the soundtrack to the 1997 Ghost In The Shell game for the original PlayStation on vinyl. It previously had a 2LP release in Japan and Europe in 1997 and a picture disc in Japan.

Neither of the releases are straight reissues as the 2LP has an additional track + features a different mix of Derrick May’s “To Be Or Not To Be”. The picture disc replaces The Advent’s “Down Loader” and Brother From Another Planet’s “Section 9 Theme” with Westbam’s “Moonriver” and Dave Angel’s “So High”.

The 2LP will be on black vinyl and will be housed in a jacket with new artwork.

The picture disc will be a single LP. It will be housed in a plastic sleeve. The picture disc also features slightly different artwork from the original release.

The 2LP is priced at 8800 and the picture disc at 7700. Both are scheduled to release on December 18, 2024 and can be preordered via several Japanese retailers now. There’s a collection of retailers for the 2LP here and for the picture disc here.
