Theres actually 8 total varients.

https://milanrecords.com/the-cowboy-bebop-vinyl-pre-order-is-here/

The two that arent listed there are the Walmart and Ein varients. But its the other 6 including the standard black

I've heard that the Ein pressing has the best sound quality. Not sure if thats true but thats the one I got.

Damn I preordered the original almost a year before it was released and was pleasantly surprised when it showed up. I didnt know there were so many editions

I got mine a couple years ago from Walmart and it was ein edition.

Is there one that doesn’t make me look like a gooner if I buy it?

Unfortunately I think cowboy bebop predates “gooning”. Sexy women and jazz records go hand in hand 😉

I picked this up at Wally World as well, it's almost becoming one of those ubiquitous records to get for the vinyl crowd. It's exactly the first album from sides A-C, and side D is a mix of various tracks like "Mushroom Hunting" and "What Planet is This?". I grew up with these CDs so it's cool to see the soundtrack be so appreciated again.

Honestly the Walmarts I've been to have had more anime Music On Vinyl than they have had anime series on Blu-ray

u/blur494 5d ago

I'm pretty sure I have that same print i scooped up online a couple years ago!

u/Butterboi3407 5d ago

I always thought of buying this one because of the Poster included. I have the paint splatter edition which had no poster but I it got signed by the entirety of the Cowboy Bebop Live band

u/mercuryinhell 5d ago

I just found the ein edition for 35$. I dont have a record player but almost bought it.

u/CIDphi 5d ago

u/Agitated_Box_3370 5d ago

Was this a recent release at Walmart? I've seen the record but never at Walmart

u/Bleachsmoker 5d ago

I would get it just for space lion

I have the Swordfish II and Red Tail Edition of this. I also have a 2020 bootleg that uses the CD cover art. I remember when this album was highly sought after, first only being released as a bootleg starting in 2016 and then only releasing officially as part of the Funimation Collector's Edition set in 2018. I'm glad Milan got it in 2020 and have kept it in print pretty consistently since then.

u/developerjoe 4d ago

u/Yoimark 4d ago

I’ve gotten some downvotes for this in the past, and I have never purchased a record from Target, but they typically have a title or two that I would happily add to the collection.

u/Spike_coward 3d ago

Tem como conseguir um desses no Brasil?

u/Jacpu 5d ago

Walmart, Target, etc are not good places to buy vinyl

u/Tetsujyn 5d ago

Yet they each have their own exclusive variant of this amazing soundtrack.

u/No_Respond7886 5d ago

Unfortunately, if Real Folk Blues isn’t on it, it’s not worth it.

u/ElHutto 5d ago

That is on OST 3.
