I'm more then glad that these go on for sale on a regular basis and not just as prizes. And they're affordable too!
I'm gonna grab all 3 versions as soon as I can for sure.

I wonder if the took the original recordings and remastered those or just took the CD version masters and put them on vinyl, hopefully they release that information.

If this record only has Koshiro's stuff then it would be a very poor album since the orchestral score was done by the other composers and that was the best stuff. Most people assume that Koshiro did most of the composing but that is not true at all. Also , it is quite sad to hear people say thay they will buy these soundtracks and not even listen or open the seal. That would just prove you have no taste as you would buy anything relating to Shenmue to show interest in the IP but if you buy any old crap, Sega will be happy enough to put out crap. Fans should resist exploitation by people who take advantage of their goodwil, and without a critical perspective, record labels, games publishers etc will just release rubbish because fans will buy it regardless.
Data Discs may as well have just issued a piece of plastic saying Shenmue considering most people probably won't even play this. The sound quality doesn't even matter here because collectors value seems to be the main reason anuone would buy this. That is sad since all products of this kind should be judged and scrutinised critically for what they are. Blind fandom will only affect the Shenmue brand when silly cash-ins like this come along. No one here seems to care that this will probably be a very heavily edited and shortened version of a score that didn't even fit on two full CDs when the game came out. The SoR may be OK but I can't see how it can be improved upon the original Mega Drive sound and it is pointless to put a digital recording on vinyl because the sound will hardly gain anything. If one argues the analogue is better, that is a contradiction in terms if the music was originally composed and recorded on low fidelity digital machine.
