Next up in Mondo's 30th anniversary Castlevania releases is the amazing Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse soundtrack! Originally launched in 1989, Dracula's Curse (known as Akumajo Densetsu in Japan) wraps up the trilogy and stands as one of the best and toughest in the series. The story follows Trevor Belmont, Simon Belmont's ancestor, as he battles through hordes of monsters to take down the evil Dracula. Konami Kukeiha Club once again delivers an outstanding score, particularly in the Famicom version that uses the new VRC6 Chip, adding extra pulse - wave and saw - wave channels to the system's five sound channels for a richer sound. Mondo has gone all out with this pressing, compiling both the NES and Famicom versions on a double LP set. It comes with a gatefold sleeve featuring stunning original artwork by Sachin Tang. This is a must - have! Key features include a double vinyl pressing with both NES and Famicom versions, a gatefold sleeve, custom Sachin Teng artwork, an obi strip, and it's from the music label Mondo 2017.

Using this vinyl soundtrack is easy. Just place the record on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the amazing music from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on it. Store the record in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. Also, be careful when opening and closing the gatefold sleeve to avoid damaging the beautiful artwork. If the record gets dusty, use a proper record brush to gently clean it before playing.
