Red Dead Redemption 2 Soundtracks Head To Vinyl This Year

Publisher Rockstar Games has announced that music from Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting vinyl pressings very soon--and they will come in double-LP packages.

Both the game's original score and soundtrack will come in two double-LP bundles: The Music of Red Dead Redemption 2: Original Score and The Music of Red Dead Redemption 2: Original Soundtrack, both of which are available to pre-order right now through the Rockstar Warehouse, the studio's official merch store.

The original score will come on transparent vinyl and features various collaborations from musicians such as Arca, Colin Stetson, Senyawa, David Ferguson, Jon Theodore, and more. This double-LP vinyl pressing is a "one-time-only, limited release" composed and mastered by longtime Rockstar contributor Woody Jackson. It retails for $30 USD and is expected to release on April 10.

If you're looking for something a little bloodier, the original soundtrack might be more your speed as it's pressed on bloodshot red vinyl. It features music created exclusively for RDR2 by artists like D’Angelo, Willie Nelson, Rhiannon Giddens, and Josh Homme, and is produced by Grammy Award winner Daniel Lanois. The original soundtrack double-LP will arrive on September 20 and also sets you back $30 USD.

Red Dead Redemption 2 recently saw a fan mod taken down, though the reason remains hazy. The mod was a play on the inaccessible Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" mini-game. The modder admitted that a Rockstar representative asked them to remove it but refused to do so at the time, claiming the mod didn't break any rules
