FULL STORY
======================================================================

The jazzy soundtrack of the cult classic adventure game Grim Fandango has 
received a new vinyl release just in time for the games 25th anniversary. 

Announced by video game merchandise company iam8bit, who also manufacture a 
range of gaming goodies like posters and limited edition physical copies of 
popular games, the vinyl soundtrack is available now via their website for 
$42.99. 

Containing two black LP records that were first released five years ago in 
celebration of the games 20th anniversary, this rerun is the perfect chance 
for fans to get their hands on a vinyl soundtrack if they missed out the 
first time around. 

For those not in the know, Grim Fandango is a classic point-and-click 
adventure game first released back in 1998. You play as protagonist Manny 
Calavera, a charismatic skeleton working as a travel agent (or Grim Reaper) 
that has to help souls navigate between the land of the living and the 
underworld. 

Developed by LucasArts, Grim Fandango sold poorly at the time of its release 
but has since come to be considered one of the very best PC games , 
especially if youre a fan of classic adventure titles. The game has helped 
cement the now-defunct studios legendary status thanks in no small part to 
its superb environmental design, jazzy music, and brilliant dry humor. 

It received a PlayStation 4 remaster in 2015, which subsequently made its way 
to Nintendo Switch and Xbox. In addition to polishing up the visuals, this 
remastered version included a new orchestrated score, which replaced the 
original digitally-made soundtrack. 

This is the version of the score included on the vinyl soundtrack, allowing 
players the opportunity to fully appreciate the remastered music in all of 
its glory. In addition to the LP records, you also net yourself a nifty paper 
sleeve with album art by artist Holly Rothrock.
