Laced Records and Bandai Namco have come together to bring a new set of soundtracks to life as the original Tekken and Tekken 2 albums head to vinyl. Both of these will be specially remastered and pressed onto audiophile-quality, 180g heavyweight vinyl LPs. As well as being displayed in a deluxe sleeve featuring original artwork. What's more, the company announced that nine Tekken soundtracks will be released over the course of 2020. Meaning we're getting the remaining five in the numerical series and both of the Tag Tournament soundtracks. You can pre-order them from Laced now as they will ship in May 2020.
