Earlier this Fall Brave Wave announced that they would release the soundtrack to the action adventure game Shenmue III on vinyl in a series of different versions and now preorders have opened.

It will be available in the following versions:

There will also be 500 copies available that include an A4 poster signed by game creator Yu Suzuki.

– A 5LP “Vol. 1 Bailu Village” box set containg music from the first half of the game. The box set will feature each record on a different color vinyl and they will be housed in individual sleeves with game art.

– A 6LP “Vol. 2 Niaowu” box set containg music from the second half of the game. The box set will feature each record on a different color vinyl and they will be housed in individual sleeves with game art.
