Games represented on The 30th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. Music Album

You can read the limited details about the album at the Video Game Music Database.  As I’m sure you know many of the classic Super Mario soundtracks are long out of print and very expensive.  The album will retail for 3000yen, which will let Super Mario fans of all ages access some of the best music in video game history for a reasonable price.  Let’s just hope next year The Legend of Zelda gets the same treatment!

Keep checking back with OSV for further details on this album.  Do you own any Super Mario soundtracks on CD or vinyl?
