For the first time ever on vinyl, the landmark soundtrack to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex arrives as a preserved, uncirculated pressing through Alliance Authentic.
Composer Yoko Kanno's score for the beloved 2002 cyberpunk anime series is unlike anything else in the genre: digital electronica woven together with eastern European folk melodies, jazz, and rock, sung across Russian, English, and Italian to evoke a stateless, uncertain future. Originally released across five CD albums, the music has never been pressed to vinyl until now.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex ran for 52 episodes over two seasons, directed by Kenji Kamiyama and produced by Production I.G. It became a massive hit in Japan and topped cable ratings in the United States, cementing Kanno's soundtrack as one of anime's most iconic.
For collectors, an encapsulated pressing of this title means securing a piece of anime history exactly as it left the source: untouched, sealed, and protected in the same state it was always meant to be experienced.
