Tohru �Master� Nakabayashi – Altered Beast [Data Discs] (24bit-96kHz Vinyl Transfer)

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.

WWISE FRUM YO GWAVVE! Originally released in the arcades in 1988, but quickly ported over to SEGA’s new Mega Drive console, where it entered countless homes as a pack-in game, Altered Beast remains memorable for many things over its gameplay, not least its soundtrack. Composed by Tohru “Master” Nakabayashi, the music of Altered Beast moves between intense battle themes and cavernous dirges; the perfect backdrop to traversing the netherworld, punching pigs and powering up.

Sourced from a Japanese Mega Drive and carefully mastered for vinyl, Altered Beast is presented as a 45RPM cut LP in a 400g matt varnished sleeve and printed inner sleeve, both of which feature hand-painted artwork from the SEGA archives. Also included is a foldout poster of the original painting used for the game’s box art.
