good to know it actually does exist.

this has been at the top of my vinyl want list for a while.  i found out it got rereleased (it says "NEVER BEFORE RELEASED" but it was totally released in japan).

 some say the soundtrack was never made, but i definitely read that there was a limited run of the soundtrack in japan.  some people have put together their own version of the soundtrack out of mp3's (mostly from footsteps in the dark), but the construction of a soundtrack is usually way more interesting than just compiling.  what audio version of a soundtrack can you think of where the songs are in chronological order from the film?  like a compilation cd, the order is meticulously constructed.  plus, it's good to hold your music, have that physicality, read the liner notes.  too bad $70-200 is too much for me to spend on something like that.  i'd want to listen to it, but i'd be scared to.  what if i scratched it? 

 i'm hoping someone accidently fucks up their cover kinda bad so it falls within a reasonable amount to spend on a record. especially a rerelease.

 i wonder if the rerelease of eliott smith's xo affected the price of the original pressings (i mean, probably still expensive, but maybe now they'll stay at a constant $150ish?).

 edit: i found the track listing, and despite what i said earlier it looks like the format they used was chronological/bonus.
