The fact either of you want to actually shell out for this cheap cash-in is disconcerting. That artwork is horrible and the audio quality of the previous albums (definitely the first one at least, which was proven to be directly ripped from one of the CD albums of the 90s) have been questionable. Certainly not the tribute Super Castlevania IV deserves by any means and not worth $30.
I agree, I don't really care for the SCIV art work. I've done some digging into reviews and have seen negative commentary regarding quality issues.
In terms of picking and choosing vinyls Iam8bit sell some pretty interesting ones. They recently had a Cuphead collection and the artwork and casing was superb.
I'd be buying any CV vinyl as more of a collectible. However, Electrical outlet stores here sell LP players for 99 AUD. Surely in the US they'd be a dime a dozen.
