Sonic The Hedgehog CD Complete

~ Release by Masafumi Ogata & Naofumi Hataya (see all versions of this release, 13 available)

Annotation

After releasing the original Sonic CD soundtrack, I realized how pointless it was to share something which added nothing to just owning the game itself, since all the music is PCM and the best and most accurate way to listen to it was via a digital rip.

Despite this, people started asking for the US soundtrack as well and I saw this an opportunity to update our original release by making it unique and something worth adding to our catalogue.

In recent years, lots of Sonic CD prototypes have emerged which had several changes from the final game, and that included the music.

In this new, massive 3 disc release, you’ll be able to listen to not only the original EU/JP and US soundtrack, but to the prototype tracks as well.

Like many of our releases, this has been a team effort and I’d like to thank our contributor CrazyToaster for helping me out ripping the music from some of the prototypes and ValleyBell for his immense knowledge that has guided us while finding optimal way to rip the sequenced PCM tracks of the prototypes.

Thanks for sticking with us and, although it’s still gonna be a few days, we’d all like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

See you in 2025!
