New soundtrack releases on vinyl: The perfect medium for film and video game scores

Why collect original soundtracks on vinyl?

Vinyl gives soundtracks a sonic presence that digital formats struggle to match: every orchestral nuance, every synth layer, and every silence breathes within the groove's width. Far from the compression of dematerialised files, the LP restores the original recordings' dynamic range, whether it's the majestic brass of a John Williams score, the ambient textures of a Ryuichi Sakamoto piece, or the industrial beats of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Today's releases are more creative than ever, with coloured pressings, lavishly illustrated gatefold sleeves, and often previously unreleased art books, turning each record into a collectable object with a strong visual identity.

From Ennio Morricone to Hildur Guðnadóttir: Key composers, labels, and currents

The golden age of soundtrack vinyl dates back to the 1960s-70s with the iconic works of Ennio Morricone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), Bernard Herrmann (Psycho), John Barry (James Bond), and Vangelis (Blade Runner), whose original pressings now fetch impressive prices on the collectors' market. The contemporary scene is just as vibrant: Hans Zimmer (Interstellar, Dune), Jóhann Jóhannsson (Arrival), Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, Chernobyl), Jonny Greenwood (There Will Be Blood), and Joe Hisaishi all see their compositions released with remarkable care by labels such as Mondo/Death Waltz, Waxwork Records, Invada, Milan Records, and Diggers Factory. On the video game front, the OSTs for The Last of Us (Gustavo Santaolalla), Elden Ring, and Hollow Knight have sparked spectacular demand through labels like Data Discs and Laced Records. To find the right edition, look for composer-supervised remasters, check the vinyl weight and mastering studio credits, and compare available offers, Vinyles.com helps you quickly spot the best price among referenced retailers for these highly sought-after new releases.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vinyles.com sell soundtrack vinyl directly?
No, Vinyles.com is a price comparison service, not a direct seller. We aggregate offers from several partner retailers and redirect you to the seller of your choice. Delivery, payment, and return conditions are entirely determined by the selected retailer.
How do I choose between different vinyl editions of the same soundtrack?
It all depends on your priorities. 180g pressings sourced from composer-supervised remasters deliver the best listening experience. Coloured vinyl or picture discs appeal for their visual flair, while deluxe editions with exclusive artwork and booklets are true collector's pieces. Check reviews on Discogs and specialist forums to make an informed decision before purchasing.
Are video game soundtracks regularly released on vinyl?
Yes, and it is one of the most dynamic segments of today's vinyl market. Labels like Mondo, Data Discs, Laced Records, and iam8bit regularly press OSTs of cult favourites, The Last of Us, Elden Ring, Hollow Knight, Persona 5, or Stardew Valley to name a few. Since these editions are often limited, it pays to compare available offers quickly so you don't miss out.
