Apparently all the tracks will be remastered for this release. Hopefully Mega Man 1 and 2 can FINALLY get a proper remaster.

Are you telling me every single release of Mega Man 1 & 2's soundtrack has been a failure up to this point? If so, what makes you think they're going to get it right this time?

Because vinyls by western startup companies with wix websites and products manufactured in a random Chinese factory found on Aliexpress.
And coloured / splatter / seethrough super kool limited editions, 90% of which can be purchased on eBay for inflated prices two days after release. Let's see if the marketing guy forgot anything. Technical stuff for wow effect "X6 180g" --> CHECK "Limited Edition" --> CHECK "Exclusive" --> CHECK "Deluxe" --> CHECK "Luxury" --> CHECK There, I said it. I feel better now.

Apart from being the nth Mega Man collection they screwed it up already with not having included the complete score. Probably due to licence reasons but who needs this then??

As for this being incomplete, here's the label's response on reddit to being asked about why it's not the complete soundtracks for all games: Quote:
Some of the pressing plants (or their associated printing partners) have standard size packaging for box sets, but if we start getting into 10+ record sets then you will need customs boxes. The process of printing jackets (and boxes in this case) is usually one of the pricier parts of releasing a record. All that said, I would've liked a complete set, but I understand their reasoning for not doing it. |

imo, one more reason why these aren't much more than large expensive hard-to-store-properly collectibles for the new generation, it's like saying 'hey our brownie doesn't have all the ingredients of a good brownie because we can't store them all in our small trendy kitchen, but look at how many of them we actually put, almost 90%, just missing the stuff real brownie fans will notice'
but then again if people buy it, i guess why not, it's nice, it's rockman, it's better than doing drugs |

There's plenty of affordable vinyl storage options available.
But I guess your point is that these'll be difficult to fit in your CD shelf - in which case you're probably right |

they're harder to keep in good condition, put them flat and pile them up, they'll get damaged, put them standing up, they'll open up like vaginas, no matter what protective bag you use. bit of a mess, so yeah i'll stick to cds and tapes, saves space and looks nicer. you can also tell what is what from the spines, which is mind-blowing.

Pointless release imo. But as long as there are enough people who buy everything blind they did everything right I guess PS: Thanks for using my pictures on discogs without asking... |

Okay, I may look into this box if Mega Man and Mega Man 2 are fixed, but I have to add my two cents in with a suggestion. Why not make two box sets? Make a box set for 1-6 (the original NES scores) and a second one with the OSTS after that? That way you could even add Mega Man & Bass.
I just bought the X LP box set and well, Laced handled that one much better IMO. Keeping X1-6 intact was the right move, and while I think the OSTs for X7 and X8 are one of the better parts of the games they hail from, doing a selection from them was probably the better move. |

I know this is a joke, but I must not being using my vinyl's properly. That or my myriad of personality flaws are canceling out their effect.

I sure will. However, I'm not sure when I'll buy it. One of my new year's resolutions was to spend less money on toys, so. (The other was to buy and eat less fast food.) Additionally, I'm kind of waiting on restocks for a few other albums like the Undertale and Stardew Valley sets.

Audio is noticeably muffled and noise distorted. I thought it was fine at first, then I listened to a fan rip from someone who is pedantic about audio quality, and it completely blew the 1-6 box out of the water clarity-wise.

It's fine, it's just my opinion! I hate having to listen to songs or parts I don't like, so CD is my preferred format. Tape is annoying like vinyl but takes so much less space, and I have this portable tape player with mini stereo speakers that make me feel like I'm back in 1991 and the sound is just as bad as it needs to be

This album feels like such a letdown. Out of 5 possible releases they could've gone with, this, to me, is like #4 in best to worst case:
1. A complete collection, all 11 game soundtracks sold individually 2. A complete collection, all 11 game soundtracks sold as one set 3. A "best of" collection, only including full tracks (no small jingles) for a coherent listening experience 4. A collection that attempts to stuff as much music as manageable, while still ommitting some bangers 5. A lame "very best of" that barely fills half the vinyl and omits tons of music Mega Man 1-3 seem complete. So where do things start going missing? 4 and 5 seem to be missing half the robot masters, and it gets worse from there. |

This should have been split into two sets if I'm honest. A 1-6 NES set and a 7-11 set so we get all the tracks. |
