The Resident Evil games are known for their chilling soundtracks that to this day send shivers down your spine. Unfortunately, none of the OSTs have made their way to vinyl, at least until now.

Again, this album hits the high points of the Resident Evil 2 OST, and the tracklist mirrors that of the Biohazard 2 Original Soundtrack, which was released in 1998. Most importantly, it includes “Secure Place,” the iconic track played when you enter a save room, which is one of the most recognizable video game music arrangements.
Fortunately, the two albums are very reasonably priced at $35 apiece. Currently, you can pre-order either a limited edition version of each, with the RE1 records cast in blue vinyl and the RE2 in red. Alternatively, you can opt for plain black records. The price remains the same for both options.
Cool Resident Evil merchandise is relatively hard to find and sells out quickly when it is available. Hopefully, the almost universally positive reaction to the Resident Evil 2 remake will result in more awesome collectibles like these records springing up more often.
