Soundtracks seriously in need of a reprint

[KeyLogic]

Due to the fact that some publishers no longer exist or for whatever reason stopped production of a particular soundtrack, there are a lot of great soundtracks that are no longer available, except seldom available on eBay and other auction sites, and even then, they usually sell for much more then the original cost.

Soundtracks that I think are in serious need of a reprint are:

Ecco: Songs of Time (http://vgmdb.net/album/353)
F-ZERO (http://vgmdb.net/album/200)
F-ZERO X Guitar Arrange Edition (http://vgmdb.net/album/202)
Gyakuten Saiban Jazz Album ~Gyakuten Meets Jazz Soul~ (http://vgmdb.net/album/4429)
Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit - The Album (http://vgmdb.net/album/8547)

The Smile of You ~theme from Elebits~ (http://vgmdb.net/album/4288)
...and many more! :)

Discuss soundtracks that you think are seriously in need of a reprint. Would they sell much better now then when they were first available? What are the complications in moving to a new publisher?

I believe that the Super Mario RPG soundtrack is in need of a reprint, especially after it hit the Virtual Console. A lot of Europeans, like me are just playing the game for the first time, and not only is the music brilliant, but it sells for way over the original price. I've seen it for over $400.00 on ebay, for example.

I'm a big fan of Cave soundtracks and I wish Cave would make more than the limited number they normally make, but I'm sure that's just wishful thinking.

You can almost count Nintendo out. Don't know what's wrong with them!

[Lackadaisical]

All three Parasite Eve soundtracks, though with any luck, at least the first one will be reprinted around the time the third Parasite Eve game's soundtrack is released.

The entire Technosoft GAME MUSIC COLLECTION series. Seriously...all of them are damn near impossible to find.

[KeyLogic]

All of the DJMax albums need to be re-printed and made available to the public. I seriously think that they would sell well.

This is the One that should be reprinted -> Ogre -Grand Repeat- (the album is just great in every single track, every single second)

And also:
Shenmue Orchestra Version
PHANTASY STAR COLLECTION: Sound Collection I
PHANTASY STAR COLLECTION: Sound Collection II
Tenchi Sozo Creative Soundtracks
STREET FIGHTER ZERO2 CAPCOM GAME SOUNDTRACK
BROKEN THUNDER -project THUNDER FORCE VI-

[AcidBeast]

Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit - The Album (http://vgmdb.net/album/8547)

THIS! So much.

[Pyoko]

Grim Fandango (http://vgmdb.net/album/862), The Dig (http://vgmdb.net/album/1766) and Fallout (http://vgmdb.net/album/1375).

I don't even know how that last one was originally available.

I am wishing the very same thing.

Sonic R
Tekken 3 Techno Maniax
Parasite Eve Remixes
SEGA TUNES X-Men 2: Clone Wars
Interstate '76

[AcidBeast]

Lost Eden

Since this one is still available through the composer's website I don't think there'll be any reprint soon.

You're right. I've found the link. Thanks ;)

P.S. Added Interstate '76

I want this so, so much:

Digimon World Original Soundtrack (http://vgmdb.net/album/4191)


Although I know where I can find this, the price is way, way too expensive.

anything old Nintendo why won't they do reprints? Lazyness i guess

[Freelance Wolf]

Star Fox, bar none. Still one of the best VG soundtracks ever made in my opinion.

I don't know, but man, from what I've seen, Yoshi's Island has to be the rarest soundtrack ever. People are willing to pay ridiculous prices like $500 for it right here in the marketplace, and it's on 15 people's wish lists. It's funny, when you buy these things for like $25 or $30 when they first come out, it never occurs to you that 8 years down the line people will be paying crazy amounts of money for it. Maybe you expect that thing more and more now, but I have a number of soundtracks that I never thought that would happen to (and actually I guess I never gave it much thought at all).

Oh, needless to say now, Yoshi's Island needs a reprint. Actually it probably needs two, because at this point (even with as few fans as VGM has) the first one would sell out in about 8 hours.
