Pew, pew, pew! First launched in 1985, Gradius was a key title in the shoot - em - up genre's development. This classic game spawned numerous sequels and imitators, and remains a top title in Konami's collection. Ship To Shore Phonograph Co. honors its influential soundtrack with this deluxe vinyl. It includes the 1986 NES/Famicom version and the enhanced 1989 MSX port (never released outside Japan). Pressed on crystal - clear colored vinyl, it comes with a double - sided insert featuring rare Konami artwork and liner notes by Jeremy Parish. Artwork is by Ian Wilding, and it's from the music label Ship To Shore Phonograph Co. 2018. Highly recommended.


Using this Gradius vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable and start playing to enjoy the amazing game soundtrack. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on it. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. If you want to clean the vinyl, use a soft record brush to gently remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals as they can damage the vinyl. Also, be careful when removing and inserting the double - sided insert to avoid tearing the rare artwork.
