Following on from the very exciting news of our first vinyl record release, the FLCL Soundtrack, coming in November, we now want to put the focus the next vinyl record we'll be releasing! The soundtrack to the hit film by Kyoto Animation, A Silent Voice!

We have a special relationship with this film as we were the first English speaking territory to release the film in cinemas, and then on home video! Plus, we commissioned an English language dub to be created for the film. And now we'll be the first company in the world to make the soundtrack to this film available on vinyl!

Read on below for the details!

WHAT IS ALL THE ANIME MUSIC?

(In case you missed it from when we announced the FLCL vinyl,) simply put, it's our chance to make anime soundtracks available in physical form in the United Kingdom & Ireland (and in some instances, other territories too). After establishing ourselves when it comes to anime films and television series releases on home video, we're taking our love and passion for that to the next level and putting that into soundtracks that you'll want to own, keep and listen to, again and again.

Who knows where things could ultimately lead, but if some of our past home video releases are anything to go by you know we're going to our utmost to bring something you'll need to have in your collection!

RELEASE #2
A Silent Voice Soundtrack

The image used on the front of the gatefold packaging

Product: A Silent Voice Official Soundtrack
Format: Vinyl record
No. of LPs: 2 x black 180g vinyl
Release date: 25th November 2019
Cat. No.: ANIM0004
Suggested Retail Price: £34.99

Our second release will be the soundtrack of the film, A Silent Voice on vinyl. To make this clear from the outset, we not only hold the license to this in English speaking territories, but in Europe as well!

This will be a 2LP 180g vinyl set. The product itself will have gatefold packaging to keep both LPs inside.

Additionally inside there will be a 16-page booklet that will have some artworks, character information, information on staff who worked on the film, an article written by Andrew Osmond, and an article written by Jonathan Clements.

But that's not all to note! The first print-run of this vinyl set will be a wonderful blue marbled vinyl! This provides a water-like effect on the record. As water is a very visually engaging and important part of the film, we wanted to make sure we could capture that in some way. This gives the vinyl a wonderful unique look that really adds to the overall presentation of the set and captures that essence perfectly, in our opinion. (See image below) It's worth noting about the marbled vinyl that due to the process of creating this wonderfully unique look, each vinyl individual vinyl produced will look slightly different. So the image you see below is very much for reference of how they'll look as the will be some variance.

The track listing for this release is as follows -

The masters used for this vinyl record were supplied by our partners in Japan, who we have worked very closely with to ensure the best quality possible for this release.

-- I appreciate you could just respond with "as large as a 12" vinyl", but can you share the exact dimensions of the packaging the LPs will be held in?
Sure thing! The gatefold if 313mm x 313mm square with an 8mm spine. With the gatefold opened, it works out at 634mm wide.

-- Can you confirm the size of the booklet?
Yes! It'll be slightly smaller than the packaging itself, so it'll fit inside without being folded. It's 300mm x 300mm.

33rpm

-- Are there more vinyl releases in the works?
Yes! As we mentioned in the FLCL announcement, we do have more in the pipeline but we can't talk about them just yet. But rest assured, there'll be some news coming soon, so stay tuned!

Providing you've not used it on any other product, yes! (A quick note that this discount code is only applicable to those who placed an order for one of our Christmas 2017 Mystery Boxes - yes it was that long ago, I wasn't joking when I said it was a couple of years ago we first announced plans for vinyl record releases. Any order using the discount code will be validated.)
