Gimmick’s Soundtrack Is Available Now on Vinyl and Cassette

Revealed just a few weeks back, Sunsoft and Ship to Shore PhonoCo have announced that the soundtrack for the NES classic Gimmick is now available to purchase in both vinyl and cassette form. The soundtrack, recorded and remastered with the latest digital technology, can be purchased here.

Concerns over Gimmick’s difficulty and a lukewarm critical reception elsewhere meant the game and its soundtrack never released in North America. If this is your first-time hearing Gimmick’s sublime score, you’re in for quite the treat.

The LP features artwork from indie artist mushbush and includes an exclusive interview with Gimmick composer Masashi Kageyama, liner notes from critic Anthony John Agnello, and all 20 tracks from the original score in their chiptune glory.
