Video Game Soundtracks on LPs

 

In the history of recording it's hard to think of sounds that haven't been captured on records. Music of every genre, soundtracks to movies, poetry and books, radio broadcasts, historic events, comedy, sound effects, sounds of nature, the "Golden Record" sent into deep space for extraterrestrials to potentially hear...the list is long.

So it should be no surprise that a new genre has made its way onto vinyl and its proving to be quite popular. Soundtracks to video games are now on vinyl and some are charting onto the Billboard 200.
