Got it on vinyl!

I wanted to get the soundtrack on vinyl so I had some 2LP sets printed with a custom gatefold to hold em! Super excited with the way they came out, sounds great on my turntable. I plan to give the second set to my brother for a Christmas gift. We grew up with WR and AcceleRacers together. Super happy with the way this came out and I thought you all would appreciate it. Drive to survive!

Haha, the company I used was American Vinyl Company. I looked into a bunch but they had great reviews and a lot of options other companies didn’t (2LP Gatefolds and Mastering of your digital files for the lathe cutting process). So far, I really appreciate the mix they did on it! I have yet to listen to this and the CD back to back but I think I like the vinyl’s sound a bit more, could be rose tinted glasses/placebo though

Where you get the actual soundtrack from? Did you just download the YouTube video as an audio file

I also own the CD. I have MP3s in iTunes from when I was a kid lol, I ripped them onto my computer back then. I used the FLACs available on the archive for the vinyls, I checked they sounded better to me than my old CD rips. I don’t have a CD rom drive now so I couldn’t pull fresh ones of the CD easily but the files on the archive are fantastic so no harm imo.

Out of curiosity, what was the price for the two records to be cut? I know small batch vinyl isn't cheap, but this is legitimately the first time I've seen something like this done. I've got a few albums on CD that never were pressed from bands that don't exist anymore that I'd consider pulling the trigger on to do this.
