Piano Collections: Pokémon Red & Blue

Materia Collective have succesfully funded the album Piano Collections: Pokémon Red & Blue on Kickstarter.

A vinyl version of this was made available at the $75 Starmie tier. It was initially announced that iam8bit would be involved with the production of this, but this has since changed, so Materia Collective will be handling the release themselves. It was later made available for regular purchase as well.

It is a 2LP in a gatefold jacket with artwork by Nora Kristiansen and layout by Rozen.

The vinyl version was initially expected to begin shipping in June 2018, it was later delayed and supposed to release in December, 2018, but began shipping in late January 2019 after several manufacturing delays.

This is the standard (non-Kickstarter) variant on black vinyl, which is pressed in 500 copies.

The Pink Album

This is an album made by Kirby’s Dream Band featuring rock covers of music from mainly Kirby’s Dream Land, but also Street Fighter II, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Chrono Trigger, Cave Story, Final Fantasy IV, and Pokémon Red & Blue.

It is a 2LP. It comes in a gatefold jacket with a pink front cover and gatefold art by Maiko with each band member drawn as Kirby.

It was self-released after a succesful Kickstarter-campaign in 2013. It is limited to 300 copies on pink marbled vinyl.
