機動戰士鋼彈-II：背景音樂合輯 第2卷（進口版）

The second volume finally has the Earth-based tracks I was craving, and the pressing is dead quiet with no surface noise. The Yasuhiko cover art alone makes this worth owning for any fan of the original film.

The bass on the Earth-scene tracks really comes through clean on vinyl, giving the soundtrack a warmth I didn’t expect. Only slight surface noise on one side, but otherwise a solid pressing for any Gundam fan.

Sturdy 12-inch pressing and the artwork by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko on the sleeve is a nice touch. The Earth-based tracks from the latter half of the movie hit that nostalgic tone I was hoping for, though the audio feels a bit flat on lower volumes. Still, glad to have this in my collection.
