STS-092: PHANTASY STAR II

[Brad Evans II]

Serious question.

The description for this LP has me worried as heck.

"Tokuhiko Uwabo returns on soundtrack duty, once again combining complex, contemplative melodies with driving percussion."

The words "driving percussion" are suspect to me. Which version of the score are we getting with this LP? Isn't it the Japanese original that has the louder percussion?

Don't worry, it's the US version.

Have received the clear variant from Black Screen Records in Europe. I have two copies of the Ship To Shore Phono Co. version on order (got multiple copies as I wanted them to give them as gifts - I wanted the clear one because I was being difficult with myself) but have yet to hear any word on them. They are listed as Q4 however, so December maybe.

In uploading the scans, I ironically noticed a typo. "Secret Ways" (as it is listed on the back and other versions of the OST) is listed as "Secret Wars" on the side B label.

The "Rolf & Nei" Red and magenta swirl (Ship to Shore exclusive) version has begun to ship.
