Awesome news out via the Sonic City Blognik. TSS might have told you all about the Sonic Colours OST is getting a digital release in Japan, but what I can confirm today is that it will also be reaching western shores. That’s right folks a Sonic soundtrack is FINALLY coming out in the West… albeit digitally.

Yes, no physical CD but as of today (and already up in the case of America) Wavemaster have finally been able to do what seemed impossible and get Vivid Sound x Hybrid Colors up for sale via the Apple iTunes Store in North America, EU AND Japan.

All the tracks are included in the listings which are split up across three volumes – the three discs in the physical copy – and does include opening theme “Reach For The Stars” and closing song “Speak With Your Heart” by Cash Cash. Speaking of cash, you’ll probably want to know how much these cost?

Individual tracks will be $1.29 / £0.99 whilst you can buy each individual disc/volume for $9.99 / £7.99

We the fanbase have been after this with the soundtracks for a VERY long time and now that we’ve had this first one who knows what else might start finding its way onto iTunes, this is great news(!)

There was a press release not on the Blognik which I’ve attached below

…is this real life?

…appears so. I don’t know how realistic the chances are for them to release the older Sonic soundtracks onto iTunes for all regions in the near future, but it does strike me as a complete and total win if they would do so.

With that being said, how will this effect the policies that SEGA/Sonic Team/Wavemaster seem to have in regards to the game soundtracks being posted online? I mean, they’ve been pretty lax so far, and I dunno whether they’re going to still be turning the other cheek or if they’re going to suddenly become hardliners about it, taking down sites and Youtube vids left and right. I mean, I doubt it; it’s ineffective and makes them look bad, but…eh. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.
