Original ‘Star Wars’ Soundtrack getting gorgeous Vinyl Reissue

star wars vinyl!

File this one under what *really* should be a category around here, given the frequency with which I reference it: reasons Ian should have a record player.

Got room in your vinyl crate for yet another re-issue of John Williams’ Star Wars: A New Hope soundtrack? Of course you do. Because this time around the Imperial March and other memorable tracks are available on a pair of double-sided picture disc-pressed vinyl records.

The standout of the pair is obviously the gorgeous Death Star version with Vader’s visage floating in space on the back. Just imagine how awesome that would look spinning on your turntable. The set is available for pre-order now for $35, but you’ll have to wait until September 30 to actually get your hands and needles on them.
