Preorders Open for Totally Rad Official Vinyl Soundtrack
Respawned Records, in partnership with Retro‐Bit, has unveiled a limited edition release that promises to excite both collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts. The new offering – the “Totally Rad Official Vinyl Soundtrack” – revisits the distinctive 8‐bit soundscape of the classic 1991 NES game, Totally Rad, celebrated for its dynamic chiptune compositions and high-energy melodies.

The record is pressed on neon‐yellow vinyl adorned with magenta, orange and green splatters, a design choice that mirrors the game’s vibrant, California‐cool aesthetic. Encased in a high-gloss jacket featuring artwork inspired by the surreal visual style of the game, the release is as much a visual statement as it is an auditory one. Each copy is individually numbered, underlining its status as a collector’s item and ensuring that no two records are identical.
Pre-orders for the soundtrack are now open, with the preorder window set to close on 22 March. Following this period, full production will commence, with shipping expected to begin in June 2025. At a price of $29.99, the record is positioned as an accessible yet exclusive addition for fans of both vinyl and the retro gaming era.
This release is being hailed as a significant nod to the preservation of video game history, capturing the unique spirit of early NES titles through modern production techniques. Music aficionados and collectors alike are invited to secure their piece of nostalgia before the limited run sells out, ensuring that the legacy of Totally Rad is enshrined in both sound and style.
