shenmue original soundtrack

[mue 26]

Thanks for the advice guys, pretty sure it was a bootleg. As for the strips of film, Im pretty sure they were only first print copies

I imagine the bootlegs cover would look the same apart from maybe the Toshiba EMI logos missing(or whoever it was that brought it out) So its pretty hard to find a legit one I think.

But Master kyodai what do you mean the orchestra soudtrack was the only one printed?

There were however professionally made but copies of the original OST's handed out at a Shenmue event in 1999 but very few were made,just for one event.

So, you didn't see this post of mine, did you?

SEGA did sell the official OST CDs as I said there. I remember seeing them on the shelf of
a few CD stores even in 2001.

These are the covers of the official OST CD case:





As you see, you can see the letters of "EMI" and "MADE IN JAPAN" at the bottom of the back cover.
If you don't see them, it should be a bootleg, I believe.

Yeah mine have those covers on the case and the CDs just on the CD's they have the SMrecords logo.

Nice, I yet have only seen the SM records versions and own both - the orchestra and OST cds from SM (typical ebay bargain). I did not think there was on "official" OST.

The official CDs should look like this:

So what would be the value of the real shenmue original soundtrack???

Cos i own both the original soundtrack and the orchestra soundtrack. Both are real i guess... original soundtrack includes the small film strip. It was pure luck i found these two soundtrack from the "local" internet store few years ago. The store dosent seems to even exist anymore... I have not even ever listened the actual cd's. I just rip the plastics off and copied the discs...
