DATA009: THE REVENGE OF SHINOBI

Collaborating once again with legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro, Data Discs is thrilled to present one of the most revered and timeless soundtracks of the 16bit era: The Revenge of Shinobi. Composed in 1989, the music for the Mega Drive game (known as The Super Shinobi in Japan) blended Western dance music with Japanese overtones, to create something truly unlike anything else before. The soundtrack was Koshiro’s first commissioned work for SEGA and served as a forerunner to his seminal Streets of Rage trilogy, where the concepts and styles he founded with Shinobi would be expanded upon to astonishing effect. Koshiro’s work on The Revenge of Shinobi remains a testament to the ingenuity of early game composers who, when given enough creative freedom, found the means of drawing new and unexpected sounds from extremely limited hardware.

The Revenge of Shinobi is presented as a 180g LP, cut at 45rpm and packaged in a 425gsm outer sleeve, with heavyweight inner sleeve and double-sided lithographic print, featuring original artwork sourced from the SEGA archives in Japan. The release also includes exclusive liner notes written by Koshiro himself. 

Available in the following editions:

•	180g bone and black vinyl (limited edition, available exclusively from the Data Discs site)

•	180g bone coloured vinyl

•	180g classic black vinyl

Available from SATURDAY 3RD DECEMBER from www.data-discs.com. Note this is a pre-order item with an expected shipping date of January 2017.

DATA011: GUNSTAR HEROES

The complete soundtrack to Treasure’s acclaimed run-and-gun shooter, newly remastered and available on vinyl for the very first time. Originally released in 1993 for the SEGA Mega Drive, Gunstar Heroes remains a cult favourite for its fast-paced and inventive play style, underpinned by an unforgettably frenetic, bass-heavy soundtrack composed by Norio “NON” Hanzawa. 

Gunstar Heroes is presented as a double LP, sourced from original hardware and cut at 45RPM. The packaging comprises a heavy single-pocket sleeve and two printed inner sleeves, showcasing an array of colourful illustrations and rare concept art drawn from the archives in Japan. Also included is a double-sided foldout poster, featuring the original cover art from both the Western and Japanese versions of the game.

Available in the following editions:

-	2 x LP Red and blue split colour effect (limited edition)
-	2 x LP Solid red and blue
-	2 x LP Classic black
