Most websites I find seem to only have the special mix version, and many sites accidentally give the track list of the normal songs even though the download is actually the arrange version. I know the full versions of the normal songs exist because there is a 190kbp download of them but I would like to request them in 320kbp or Flac. Oh and if anybody has a flac version of the special mix version that would also be great too.

Obviously not my rip, and out of respect for the uploader I will just link you to their download page. If you don't already check this site it is a GREAT resource for some VGM albums and a LOT of anime albums.

I appreciate your help, but sadly this is the special mix version. I'm looking for a 320kbp or flac rip of the normal version. A lot of sites are accidentally track listing the special version as the normal version so finding it is a bit confusing. A flac rip of the special mix version would also be nice. Thanks anyways though.

Do you have a source link showing that the two albums are different? All I am seeing here is 2 separate catalog numbers that correspond with one as a standalone release and the other as a BD/dvd bundle. There is no other Persona 4 The Golden animation album. There is A Persona 4 Animation Special CD set (not of the updated "The Golden" version) as well as 4 other Persona 4 Golden Animation CDs that aren't out yet. Based on what I have searched (and ive been awake for 71 hours straight now, so if I am wrong please don't shoot me lol. If there is an album that I don't know about then I will go after it FOR SURE, and obviously share it here!) the album you mention is a stand alone release of the exact same CD I linked up there. I'm not trying to say you are wrong, but for some reason I just can't find it!

That's the thing, I have no idea how these were distributed since most websites are only listing the one bonus cd but the both of them do exist. The most common one found on the internet at the moment is the special mix CD which has rearranged versions of the OP and ED songs as well as two rearrangements of songs from the game. The other CD has the normal full opening and ending songs along with their kareoke versions. Many sites will list the normal version's tracklisting but the files will be all from the special mix CD.

The CD with the original full versions of the OP and ED songs does exist, there is even a lower quality rip of them and they are on youtube. I'd love if somebody could even explain to me how each of these CDs were distributed and why everybody is getting mixed up. I appreciate the help darkravenx

The only thing I can think of is to check a Japanese music store for Shihoko Hirata. TV has some strange laws over there that I won't even begin to try to comprehend or explain, but if any company made any bad business practices while pressing the CDs, they might have had to move the original unarranged tracks to a different label. Let me know if you DO find something. I need sleep haha. If I see you haven't found anything later on I'll dig into it more. It doesn't help that the "arranged" album and the "special" album carry near identical names. Like I said I was not trying to call you out or anything, just wanted to toss some idea's around so we can both find this elusive album! For instance, Aniplex published the album I posted there under contract from A-1 Pictures. The originals might have came directly from Index/Atlus/Sega under Shoji Meguro's direction.The album also includes Tetsuya Kobayashi, who releases work at doujin conventions independently. So thats yet ANOTHER direction it may have gone.

Persona4 the Golden ANIMATION Bonus CD1 OP & ED (MP3/320K) (http://hikarinoakariost.info/persona4-golden-animation-op-ed-next-chance-move-dazzling-smile-2/) THIS includes both, so it should suit your needs!
