Il castello errante di Howl: Colonna sonora 2xLP [Import]

The etched design on Side D is a lovely touch, and the vinyl itself has a warm, rich sound that brings the score to life. Chieko Baisho's vocals on "The Promise of the World" come through clearly, making it feel like I'm hearing the film for the first time. Definitely a must-have for any Ghibli fan.

The Side D etching is such a nice touch—makes the vinyl feel like a collector’s piece right out of the sleeve. The main theme with Chieko Baisho’s vocals sounds gorgeous on wax, and the import pressing came through without a single skip.

The gatefold packaging is sturdy and the vinyl itself is dead quiet, which makes a huge difference for these delicate piano pieces. Only wish the insert included the English lyrics for "The Promise of the World.
