The popular and speedy blue hedgehog Sonic has had quite the year going for him. With the launch of the retro-inspired Sonic Mania, the announcement of a new IDW published comic series, and the upcoming release of Sonic Forces, fans of Sega's most well-known mascot will be pleased. However, the festivities don't end there. In collaboration with Brave Wave Productions, for the first time Sega is bringing Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2's soundtrack to vinyl just in time for this holiday season.
The songs on both LP collections were curated by Sonic Adventure series Lead Composer and Sound Director June Senoue and are completely remastered. Here are the track lists for both records:
