Back in March we reported on a Kickstarter campaign aimed at bringing the original arranged Mother soundtrack to vinyl for the first time in North America. The campaign smashed its target funding goal and the project is now well on its way to completion.
In a surprise announcement made earlier today, it was revealed that Ship to Shore PhonoCo., the team behind the Mother OST project, are also issuing a vinyl release of the soundtrack from Mother 2, or, as it's known in the west, Earthbound. This double LP set comes housed in a gatefold jacket with records available in four colour variations - as pictured above - and will feature 24 tracks from Mother 2. This release marks the first time the soundtrack has been made available outside of Japan, making it the perfect companion piece for fans who already backed the original Kickstarter campaign.
Pre-orders for the Mother 2 soundtrack as well as remaining vinyl and CD copies of the Mother OST open tomorrow, August 26, at 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK / 7pm CET and will ship in both North America and Europe.
How many variants do you plan on ordering? Let us know in the comments below.

That's pretty neat. I'd love a Zelda soundtrack on vinyl.
brb buying vinyl player and funding this
Is this officially licensed by Nintendo?
I'm gonna play this on my brothers record player!
I NEED THIS!!!
I'm slowly amassing nerdier and nerdier vinals. But this would just about top anything else I've got.
Vinyl....in the age of cd's....crazy hipsters!!
@Henmii
its not only for hipsters...
its still popular with dj's and in the 'punk' scene its still a thing to collect records.i know some heavy metal dudes that would go crazy for this release...
@Henmii CDs? What's a CD? Is that like... where you download mp3s from?
I find it very perplexing how we can have a vinyl record of the Mother 2 soundtrack but we can't have Mother 3.
I have a turntable at home, but due to lack of space in my apartment, I've had to stuff it in the closet. So I usually just collect Vinyl albums, but will keep them shrinkwrapped until I can bust out the player again. And I would love to dust off the player with a Mother 2 album - but, just can't justify the near $50 cost .
This is the original soundtrack right? Meh, I only get things like this if its an arrangement. Like Mother 1.
Ordered both. Only ever played Mother 1, but I'm a sucker for unusual music and an even bigger sucker for vinyl.
Me: Come on, Reggie! Give us Mother 3!
Reggie: How about this instead? Uses PK Fire Ω
@Red_Meowth Yes please.
Vinyls are great collector pieces even if you don't own a player, though. The perfect square, the large size; practically posters begging to be placed on the wall.
@Lilith93,
I find vinyl a waste of space when you can have cd's. And cd's are more durable.
@Desrever,
Lol, and then someone says: "Download all your stuff. You need even less space that way". But then you don't own it!
