TEKKEN 5 and TEKKEN 6 Limited Edition Vinyl Soundtracks by Laced Records Coming March 2022

  

Back in July, Laced Records released two expert-crafted vinyl soundtrack collections for two iconic and highly-influential 3D fighting games of their respective eras, TEKKEN Tag Tournament and TEKKEN 4. An underappreciated but memorable part of those games' influence and innovation were definitely their superb-sounding, beautifully-arranged and highly intricate soundtracks. The vinyl magicians over at Laced Records just announced a continuation of their ongoing TEKKEN soundtrack collection, with TEKKEN 5 and TEKKEN 6 Limited Edition vinyl collections releasing in March 2022. (Yes, the TEKKEN 5 version also includes the fan-favorite bangers from TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection.) Scroll down to see official preview images of the Limited Edition vinyls — with brand new cover sleeve illustrations drawn by DXSInfinite, along with full details and information about each classic soundtrack!
 


 
Like earlier TEKKEN remastered collections by Laced Records, the TEKKEN 5 and TEKKEN 6 vinyl sleeves feature stunning new artwork (based on official artwork from the games) drawn by illustrator Samuel Donato (AKA DXSinfinite). The TEKKEN 5 Deluxe Triple Vinyl will set you back $50 while the TEKKEN 6 set is priced at $35. Pre-orders for the TEKKEN 5 and TEKKEN 6 soundtracks are now available.
