Before y'all tell us to get in the sea, we were collecting vinyl before bearded hipsters encouraged us to stop. But we may have to put our plastic hiatus on hold just this once, as this The Last of Us soundtrack is begging to be bought. Manufactured by Mondo on 180-gram black vinyl, this four LP compilation has some of the most beautiful packaging that we've ever seen.
The cover focuses on Joel and Ellie holding hands, with the former's broken watch forming the centrepiece. Then the inside sleeve includes a shot of one of the infected, but with a much more dream-like appearance. The art's been crafted by Olly Moss and Jay Shaw, so it's no surprise that it looks stunning. Of course, you'll also get Gustavo Santaolalla iconic soundtrack in its entirety as well.
There's no word on a price just yet, but the pressing will go on sale at an unannounced time on 22nd July. You can follow Mondo's Twitter for more information on that.

Lovely.
Very nice... Seriously thiniin about it...
@arnoldlayne83 Do it!
It'll be $75 + shipping, steep for shure, but it's gonna be totally worth it.
@Raashbiff + £8 royal mail handling fee. + UK import tax.
Really nice, and I'm an unashamed vinyl collector, coffee snob, and have a beard, and I was in the sea before it was cool and that.... but I'm not paying 50 quid for it. No way. I could buy a load of underground or obscure black or doom metal for that.
Much like.
Plus the music was phenomenal, and Im sure I could pick up a record player cheap enough to justify!
So with Hotline Miami 2, Shenmue, Streets of Rage and Last of Us all being released on vinyl, this is becoming an expensive year for vinyl pornography.
@Churchy there was also a lovely looking limited run of FF7 on vinyl last year, all printed on picture discs. All sold out before I could get one unfortunately!
@Johnnycide mmmmmmm black metal. like what? windir? managarn? absu? amorphis? sacrementum? nokturnal mortum? drudkh? antediluvium? maybe just some good old marduk? awwwww the pleasures of black metal
@Gmork___ Marduk is always a solid choice, but I'm into this tiny label called Ulthar Records based in Liverpool at the moment. They've got some really nice stuff. Ninkharsag, Crypt Lurker and Coltsblood are all good.
I picked up Myrkur's ep on mint green vinyl after hearing Nattens Barn but it's not great, plus classics like De Mysteris and Aske, Filosofem and the like.
At the moment I'm really liking Krallice as well. Years Past Matter is one of the most dense records I've ever heard, as well as some Pallbearer, Yob, High on Fire etc.
Oh and Taylor Swift.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Live in Norway, so it'll be more like £25 + import tax and the like. Still worth it though. I mean, just look at that packaging. And 4 discs? Great stuff.
@Raashbiff the mature response would be shell.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Yeah. Whatever, dude.
