Chu Ishikawa - Tetsuo FLAC download

Guys, before u buy; I just got this vinyl expecting original soundtracks from the movie. What I got was watered-down digital remakes that really just dissapointed me. I was in search of the epic rawness this soundtrack had. But now it’s just some polished and soft nonsense to be honest.I mean, how can you not include ‘Drop Hammer’ in this vinyl. It is litteraly the theme song. To make things better you get teased at the start of side A with the beginning of said theme song and then it goes to Megatron (‘softremix’) I refuse to believe this is the direction they wanted to go.. it really sounds like a fake bootleg. Just overall sadness. Greatly dissapointed. I live for this movie, now i’m not sure if i’m going to keep this vinyl. I might just burn it.

My copy had absolutely no sticker on it, and was sealed in its original shrinkwrap.

is there any way to tell from a sealed copy whether it's black or grey vinyl? a small sticker or some kind of mark maybe?

99% sure this is legit. The presentation is as good (if not better) than 99% of legit releases. The label Kaijyu Theater shares a name with the production company owned by director/star Shinya Tsukamoto. The sound quality is good enough to be legit, especially considering the extremely low budget of the entire production.So far as typos, Japanese releases frequently have typos in English. The lyric sheet in my OG Japanese pressing of Bowie's Station to Station has typos galore, and gets the lyrics flat out wrong several times. This happens for the same reason you see "Japlish" t-shirts and signs on the internet and all around Japan (source: I lived and collected records in Tokyo for six years.) Anecdotally, I got mine at a store that doesn't sell bootlegs.

The typos in the included inlay scream "bootleg" to me, but to be honest it sounds pretty damn good. Pressing isn't overly noisy and it seems to be mastered well. Nothing *amazing*, but I don't hear anything overly wrong with the sound quality.

is it official reissue?

Official release could have typo too I believe ? !

I doubt this is official. The liner notes have typos and look to have been translated to English using Google Translate.

Not sure if it's official, but it sounds good. My copy needed run through my SpinDisc, but after that, absolutely beautiful sounding. Dynamics and soundstage are fantastic. Well worth picking up if you want to listen.
