Information:
Please note: this is a bootleg release! It often is sold for a significant markup online despite being a bootleg pressing that uses official property of SEGA/Novotrade (compared to doujinshi/fanworks which are sold not-for-profit or issued for free,) and has a multitude of variations that include extras such as stickers or even a slip mat. Be aware and smart when making purchases that this is an unofficial product.
A weird oddity for the collection. It seems pressings vary from 2016 through to as late as 2019 and originate from both Germany and the Czech Republic. They were sold in record stores in Europe but beyond that we have little information as to who produced them. It simply is a vinyl print of the Mega CD tracks, in the same order they're in on the Mega CD disc itself. Despite being a bootleg it is quite professionally done with the double gatefold and dual LP, lacking a lot of messy noise in the pressing, and some songs truly shine in the analogue format like Sounding Echo. I personally rather enjoy vinyl, it's what I first listened to music on as a kid and there truly is warmth to it that is difficult to replicate in a digital format, but it does lack the fidelity that a number of audiophiles seek with the age of digital lossless formats.
