Hey ho. This is the original soundtrack to Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I love the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Music and I am sad that it is not released officially on CD. I don't know why we have Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2, Sonic & Knuckles but not Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on CD yet. This is an unofficial soundtrack but a complete version and no it is not the one with all of the crappy OC Remix tracks jammed inside for self promotion. I don't like all of the Ice Cap Zone trance remixes. I have taken all of the fan made stuff out. This is just the original music. Sure the tracks are not properly tagged but i'm pretty sure you can fix that because tagging 33 songs on Itunes is a PAIN.

Since my small campaign to raise awareness to get the STH 3 Soundtrack on official CD Failed the best thing to do is to just download it and share it the way it is.
This is NOT the "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" OST which contained arrangements of Songs from mostly Sonic & Knuckles.

What is your source?

just archive zip folders i had lying around on old hard drives. since most of the links on the main galbadia hotel website were dead i decided to reupload it since it's one of my favorite sonic the hedgehog soundtracks.

Too Much red tape to break in order to create such a release. Too many composers to count that contributed to the score or soundtrack:
Brad Buxer
Cirocco Jones
Geoff Grace
Michael Jackson
Sachio Ogawa
Tatsuyuki Maeda
Tomonori Sawada
Jun Senoue
Miyoko Takaoka
Masanori Hikichi

Yep, and that's not even all of them.

These are all of them I think.
Tatsuyuki Maeda
Tomonori Sawada
Sachio Ogawa
Masayuki Nagao
Masanori Hikichi
Miyoko Takaoka
Jun Senoue
Michael Jackson
Brad Buxer
Masaru Setsumaru
Yoshiaki Kashima

I'm pretty sure there are many "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" rips that people have uploaded. Also "zips you had lying around", doesn't fill me with confidence. Also, it's a well known fact that 100% of everything on Galbadia Hotel was 128 kbps MP3s at best.
