[Rumor] ‘Ghost In The Shell’ OST Coming To Vinyl?
There’s a rumor circulating on Twitter right now that Tiger Lab Vinyl will be releasing the Kenji Kawai-composed soundtrack for Ghost In The Shell, the 1995 cyberpunk anime, on vinyl. I’ve reached out to Tiger Lab and they will neither confirm nor deny the rumors, only stating, “You never know what could happen.”
If this rumor does turn out to be true, this will be a major collector’s item for all anime fans. Ghost In The Shell is one of the highest rated anime titles ever released and the soundtrack is held in the highest esteem. However, it should be expressly noted that there is nothing set in stone.
Meanwhile, Tiger Lab is gearing up for their Wicked City release and they are also teasing a new soundtrack, although they have not released the title. A clip that was recorded during the mastering process can be heard below.
Seminal slasher Scream rewrote the rules in 1996, and for its 30th anniversary, Varèse Sarabande and Craft Recordings are celebrating with a new anniversary reissue of Marco Beltrami’s landmark score.
The original 14-track album returns to vinyl in a collectible “blood-soaked” sleeve on August 28.
If blood red isn’t your color, there’s good news: the reissue will also be available in many different limited-edition exclusive pressings.
In addition to the wide “Woodsboro Bloodbath” red vinyl pictured below, look for the following exclusives:
- “Knife’s Edge” silver vinyl with poster (Target)
- “Surprise, Sidney” metallic blend vinyl (Barnes & Noble)
- “Don’t Hang Up” clear vinyl (Books-A-Million)
- “I’ll Be Right Back” blue vinyl (Urban Outfitters)
- “Final Girl” splatter vinyl (Hot Topic)
- “Wrong Answer” Blood Red Splatter vinyl (Varèse Sarabande/Craft Recordings)
- “Final Phone Call” blue vinyl at select indie retailers
An Extended Cut Edition of the Scream (Original Motion Picture Score), featuring all 40 of the film’s cues from the 2022 Scream boxset, will also be available on CD. All formats are available to pre-order or pre-save today.
Top L-R: “Knife’s Edge” silver vinyl with poster (Target), “Surprise, Sidney” metallic blend vinyl (Barnes & Noble), “Don’t Hang Up” clear vinyl (Books-A-Million),
Bottom L-R: “I’ll Be Right Back” blue vinyl (Urban Outfitters), “Final Girl” splatter vinyl (Hot Topic), “Wrong Answer” Blood Red Splatter vinyl (Varèse Sarabande/Craft Recordings), and “Final Phone Call” blue vinyl (Indie Retail)
Marco Beltrami composed the iconic score as a then young, up-and-coming composer—one who, ironically, had never scored or even seen a horror film.
Yet just three years after he completed the University of Southern California’s rigorous scoring program, Beltrami submitted 13 minutes of music for Scream’s opening sequence and his future was forever changed. “We knew in half a minute that we had found our composer,” Craven told Variety in 2012. “The music was haunting, beautiful and totally original. Marco turned out to be shy and soft-spoken, but a fountain of ideas and innovation. I never looked back.”
