For the first time ever on vinyl, the complete soundtrack series from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex arrives as a preserved pressing collectors have waited decades for.
The landmark cyberpunk anime series aired in 2002 under director Kenji Kamiyama and production studio Production I.G, running 52 episodes across two seasons. It became a global phenomenon, topping cable ratings in the United States and cementing its place in animation history.
Composer Yoko Kanno's score is unlike anything else in anime music: digital electronica woven through eastern European folk, jazz, and rock, with vocals in Russian, English, and Italian that evoke a borderless, complex future. Previously available only across five CD albums, this music has never existed in vinyl form until now.
All five albums are being released simultaneously. An encapsulated copy means the record you receive is the record exactly as it left the source, sealed and untouched since pressing, making it the definitive way to own this historic first pressing.
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.
