The first official vinyl pressing of Kenji Kawai's haunting score for Ghost in the Shell (1995) — Mamoru Oshii's landmark science fiction anime adapted from Masamune Shirow's groundbreaking manga. Released by We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records, this is the definitive physical edition of one of the most celebrated soundtracks in anime history. Kawai ranks among Japan's most revered film composers, alongside Joe Hisaishi and Ryuichi Sakamoto, with credits spanning Ring (1998), Death Note (2006), and Ip Man (2008).
For collectors, this is a rare intersection of cultural landmark and first-ever official pressing — the kind of release that doesn't come around twice, made permanent in encapsulated form exactly as it left the source.
