'Cowboy Bebop' Soundtrack to Release on Vinyl For the First Time Outside Japan

The soundtrack of Shinichirō Watanabe‘s cult anime classic Cowboy Bebop is receiving an international vinyl release for the first time since the show’s premiere.

Unarguably one of the most iconic soundtracks in television history, the 2-LP vinyl edition drops via Milan Records and features the Seatbelts, the Japanese band originally behind the show’s epic intro theme, “Tank!,” along with music written by band frontwoman Yoko Kanno.

The 22-track release is fronted by an exclusive cover artwork newly designed by Cowboy Bebop character designer and animation director Toshihiro Kawamoto and arrives newly pressed on red and purple marble vinyl within a gatefold set that highlights imagery from the show. There will also be additional color variants to the vinyl exclusive to Mondo, Light In The Attic, Right Stuf, and Newbury Comic.

The Cowboy Bebop (Original Series Soundtrack) vinyl will be available for pre-order beginning August 6 on the Milan Records online store and will drop November 6.
