I'm aware of the irony in presenting this 16bit classic in 24bit audio, but it's the way I've always done my vinyl transfers, so if you feel the bandwidth is unnecessary given the source material, please feel free to downsample with Foobar / Weiss Saracon or any other sample rate converter of your choice.
"For our seventh release in partnership with SEGA of Japan, we are delighted to bring together the complete music from the classic Mega Drive games, Golden Axe (1989) and Golden Axe II (1991), in one special package. This release features the unforgettable artwork from both games, supplied on two thick lithographic prints, with the record itself pressed on heavyweight translucent gold or classic black vinyl. An additional limited edition, featuring a purple swatch effect, is also available for early buyers. The outer sleeve features rare artwork from the 1989 Japanese edition, sourced from the SEGA archives and presented on 425gsm cardstock with gold flood printing. As always, the audio has been carefully restored and mastered using the original console as the source, ensuring these memorable soundtracks are preserved for many quests to come!"
