You're not a true hipster until you have a sizeable vinyl collection – preferably spanning indie hits such as thatgamecompany's outstanding Journey. It's a good thing for your coffee shop street cred, then, that iam8bit has teamed up with Sony to create this stunning double LP set for Austin Wintory's soaring score.
The package includes the aforementioned artist's Grammy Award nominated soundtrack in its entirety, as well as some original cover artwork from Mark Englert. And before you start counting your pennies to see if you've got the cash to afford it and a new tweed jacket, we should probably point out that it's pretty reasonably priced at $35.
The package will be available to pre-order from 10:00AM PT (18:00PM BST) on Thursday, 23rd April, so you may want to set an alarm if you don't want to miss out. And if you're not one of those trendy types that wears your granddad's glasses and uses a gramophone, it's also worth mentioning that you'll also be able to order a massive print of the record's cover art, limited to 350 units.
That'll be available for pre-order at the same time as the vinyl. Of course, assuming neither of these take your fancy, you can always look forward to Journey's hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 re-release, which will launch both physically and digitally in the near future. Happy days.

A $35 dollar record? Flippin heck those prices have shot up. My last record was lolas theme and I got it for a £5 :0
@themcnoisy I guess it's part collecitible as well, though, innit.
@get2sammyb records have been collectable for a while, but I don't understand why its now in vogue to offer this option with computer game related merchandise. Maybe a 45 year old plus is in charge of marketing?

Don't stop believing...
@themcnoisy to be fair vinyl in general has seen a rise in popularity of late. And by and large collectable OSTs are usually pretty pricey anyway (see the Final Fantasy soundtracks as an example). I'm guessing vinyl is more expensive to print nowadays than CD as well, and they're picture discs rather than just plain old vinyl, so I'd say that $35 for the set is a pretty reasonable deal.
