The official soundtrack for the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime is coming to vinyl on August 24 and you can pre-order it for now $39.99 at Amazon, or $34.35 at Walmart. The double vinyl set starts with the fist pumping, don’t-you-to dare-skip the intro song “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” followed by Shiro Sagisu’s great compositions that support the unforgettable and terrifying episodes of the show.
Despite the relatively low price, this set feels like a deluxe edition, as it contains two blue and black marbled vinyls, a beautiful inlay with track information and a gatefold sleeve with a collage of still images, all key moments from the anime that made me want to watch it again. Crunchyrol has a special edition of this soundtrack that instead includes tangerine-and-red colored vinyls for the same price, just in case you prefer colors that might not immediately remind you of the show’s stern themes.
