I’m more versed in the SNES outing Battlemaniacs, but there is no denying the classic attitude of the NES original soundtrack to the Battletoads debut. Though not always up to par with our fond memories, it was also great to see the toads return to action, especially with David Housdon providing the tunes to this all new (back in 2020) adventure.

This vinyl was published by iam8bit in three variations. The one pictured below is the “3D Pop Up Pink” double LP, at least according to the label. Later variations of this album come in the same neon pink minus the pop up artwork, as well as green, which is fitting for Battletoads.

As mentioned, this is a 2LP set, featuring music from both the original NES soundtrack alongside the latest video game music from the 2020 Battletoads reboot. Side A and B feature the original soundtrack to the classic debut of the trio of toads, originally composed by David Wise. The second half consists of the latest in Battletoads BGM, David Housden and his work on the 2020 Battletoads revival.
