My local FYE carries vinyl so I'm sure I can get it there with a coupon or something. They had the Ghostbusters II LP reissue there as well.

 

Here's a pre-order on Ebay with free shipping for $42.50 if anyone is curious. Transformers The Movie Original Soundtrack LP Blue 180 Gram Vinyl 1000 New | eBay

 

I love records. I love Transformers. I love 80's rawk. I'm so in.

 

Yeah, but by what technology? Sometimes "remastering" something messes it up really badly.

In vinyl? I can't find any info on that. I already have the audio CD.

 

Really nice but 50 bucks is a ripoff

 

While expensive, I certainly wouldn't call it a ripoff. With a limited run of only 1000 pieces, it already costs significantly more than a typical vinyl release. Think Record Store Day prices. Now add to this the fact that Music On Vinyl is based in the Netherlands. So record stores in Europe may be able to procure these for less but, stores like Amazon, pay more to acquire them. Ergo higher than normal retail prices. No different than ordering the same toy from Anime Export versus Big Bad Toy Store.

 

I am also tempted to get a record player because of this CD

 

A MASTER is the final mix down of a multi-track recording (drums on one track, bass on another, synths on another etc) tracks in this context being recorded parts of a song, not songs on an album.

REMASTERING: the engineers of said reissue go back to the original multi-track master tapes and use this for the release, as oppose to just making copies from the previous "masters". This is done for optimal clarity, equalization and stereo-sound mixing.

No, just CD.

 

This is awesome. I'm not a vynil collector, but I wanted this since I was a kid. I have the original CD, but it's not the same thing. I'm from a time where the only thing you had to remember a movie by was the soundtrack.

 

How do we know if we got a blue version?

I pre-ordered from amazon and if I don't get a blue one, I will be returning it. I read an article on the internet that said the UK was expecting 250 blues ones, don't know about the US...

Is it really just a crapshoot, as in I ordered it and maybe I will get a blue one? When the news release originally went up I looked for a "blue" pre-order first and when I couldn't find one, I just made the PO at Amazon.

 

I believe all of this first run of 1000 copies will be on blue wax.

 

Id buy it just for Dare to be Stupid.

Transformers: Deluxe Edition / O.S.T.

Thanks for posting the link, I wanted to get one but thought the Amazon price was a little high.

 

I just got mine from Amazon. I pre-ordered November 17 direct through them with prime shipping. The pre-order dropped my price to $47.99.

However, I did NOT get the limited transparent blue disc. I got the standard black vinyl.

Anyone actually get a blue copy?

As far as presentation, it is standard paper sleeve over the vinyl inside. The outer sleeve with artwork is nice but I feel the graphics look washed out and blurry on the printing. I haven't seen the original copy in a long time so I don't have one to compare to.

That standard sleeve is then put in a clear vinyl sleeve for protection. It also had limited edition and deluxe edition labels on the clear sleeve.

There was little information on how to actually get one of the blue copies so I'm not too disappointed, but most likely this is getting returned.

 

Anyone?

 

Got mine in today shipped from amazon US all the way here in the UK with no probs. Spot on with the description Mr Ginrai. I thought it was my eyes that thought the cover was blurry  
But sadly, I also got the standard black disk. Where did all the blue disks go to??? I am a bit surprised I didnt get the blue disks as the first news I heard about the vinyl's I pre-ordered the vinyl day one on amazon.

Heres mine:

 

Yup, that's exactly what mine looks like. It's not your eyes - the artwork quality looks poor in person, as we both said.

The worst thing is I am processing my return and Amazon wants $4 to ship it back, and I'm a prime member. I've never had to pay for a return with them, ever.

 

Look nice. I'd want one to hang on my wall

 

I picked mine up on Monday in a German record store where I had pre-ordered. 25,90€, blue record and numbered exactly 1000, so I guess I got the last one^^
