For the first time ever on vinyl, the complete soundtrack collection from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex arrives as a preservation release through Alliance Authentic.
Composer Yoko Kanno's score for the landmark 2002 cyberpunk series is unlike anything else in anime music: digital electronica layered with eastern European folk, jazz, and rock, with vocals sung across Russian, English, and Italian to evoke a borderless future society. Originally released across five CD albums, this music has never before been pressed to vinyl.
For collectors, an encapsulated copy of a first-pressing vinyl release like this represents a frozen moment in time: the record exactly as it left the source, sealed against the wear that open copies inevitably accumulate over decades. As vinyl from beloved properties becomes harder to find in original form, source-preserved copies carry a permanence that standard retail copies simply cannot offer.
What Alliance Authentic Preservation Means: Every copy listed was moved directly from the pressing source into preservation: uncirculated, unhandled, and documented before it ever reached the open market. Each preserved copy includes an embedded NFC chip. Tap it with any smartphone to access your Certified Copy: verified authenticity, documented condition, and a full provenance chain from pressing source to you.
Limited to 3 individually numbered copies.
