Back in 2020 Mondo announced that they would be releasing the vinyl soundtrack to Portal 2 for the game’s 10th anniversary. That… didn’t happen – until now as they are celebrating 11½ years of Portal 2 with orders for the vinyl set being up now.

The release will be a 180g 5LP set on green, pink, yellow, dark blue and blue colored vinyl. It will be housed in a custom fold-able jacket with art and design by Alan Hynes.

It is priced at $100 and is in hand and ready to ship. It can be ordered from Mondo here.

The record is not a lie – Portal orders live via Mondo now

November 29, 2017 rpbtz

We’ve known for a while that Mondo would release the soundtrack to the puzzle FPS classic Portal – and now it’s finally here. Or now it’s at least here for everyone as Mondo did already release an exclusive variant for this year’s MondoCon.

The release is a single LP on grey and white split colored vinyl. It is housed in a custom packaging designed by Alan Hynes. The packaging is shaped after the game’s Companion Cube and functions like a magic wallet, that can be opened from both sides.

The album will be priced at $30 and can be ordered from Mondo here.

Team Fortress 2 soundtrack being released on vinyl in April

March 6, 2017 rpbtz

This is probably old news to some as a listing for “Fight Songs: The Music of Team Fortress 2” appeared on Amazon around a month ago. But that listing did not include any details on the release other than its title, the label releasing it (Ipecac Recordings) and later also its artwork.

So what’s new? Well, there’s finally an official listing for the release with more details. It will be a 2LP on blue and red vinyl, it will come in a gatefold jacket and will include a poster, a download card for the digital soundtrack, and a game code.
Orders placed through the official merchandise store will get the option to choose between 5 different posters. It’s unclear if orders purchased elsewhere will also come with a poster.

The soundtrack is composed by Mike Morasky and performed by the Valve Studio Orchestra.

The album is scheduled to release on April 21, 2017 and is priced at $35. It can be preordered via the official merch store, Revolt., here. It is also available to preorder from several regional Amazon stores as well as from many independent record stores.
