Rare Announces Three New Vinyl Soundtracks
The acclaimed developer has unveiled three new vinyl soundtracks for some of their most popular games, complete with custom album covers.
In a post to Twitter, Rare revealed that vinyl albums for Battle Toads, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Viva Piñata would be available through a collaboration with iam8bit. The records will be released in 2xLP with the full soundtracks composed by Robin Beanland (Conker), David Wise (Battle Toads), and Grant Kirkhope (Viva Viva Piñata), and boast custom made album art. The albums are priced at $35, with preorders opening on November 24.

Our Take
These look like some well made albums, from the custom art and colors to the reasonable price. Fans of any of the three games should definitely consider putting in a preorder later this week.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
