Materia Collective are opening preorders for their Pokémon Red & Blue piano album

Last year Materia Collective started a Kickstarter campaign for the recording of a piano arrangement album of the Pokémon Red & Blue soundtrack and they are now opening preorders for non-backers.

The release is a 2LP on black vinyl. The records appear to be housed in a single-pocket jacket with illustrations by Nora Kristiansen and design and layout by Rozen. It will be a pressing of 500 copies.

People who backed the vinyl tier for the Kickstarter will receive a backer-exclusive version of this, but it has not yet been announced what the difference between the standard and the backers versions will be.

It is priced at $40 and is scheduled to release around September 1, 2018. It can be preordered now via Bandcamp here.
