Interestingly, their Instagram profile includes this statement - " releasing unique colored vinyl + digital releases" - which leads me to think there might be an accompanying digital download release of this.

Wow, great sound! Watching this video is like finally listening to that record that should have come out in 1985.

Cd's? My cd player broke, my computer doesn't have a cd drive, but my record player still works. A cd = no purchase, choose your destiny!

Looking at the website....I wonder if more versions will come out, instead of just this golden record.

Any specific reason as to why? I do see that they issued two versions of The Dark Crystal.

Most of their soundtracks have a couple of different versions. Since this is a big release I can imagine a couple of splattered vinyl represses for example.

There's also been a few more details on their twitter, such as the fact that this is "selections" made by Rob Walsh from the music from seasons 1-3, it is not being touted as a complete release of all music. I'm also hoping that we'll hear about the release in a format other than vinyl. I'll still be happy to have it, but then I get depressed when I think about the work involved in transferring music from LP to a digital source so I can at least play this while in the car.

Wonder if it being incomplete means there will be a volume two?
Though it needs to be pointed out that there's no season 2 music. All the new stuff from that season came from G.I. Joe (same with season 4).

Good point, you're right that the "new" season 2 music for Transformers was the same as heard in G.I. Joe, composed by Rob Walsh. It's entirely possible then that this set will be all the Johnny Douglas music heard in season 1, which is awesome, plus the music for season 3, which was newly composed. Here's hoping that a G.I. Joe album release will follow along, featuring its Johnny Douglas music and the music Walsh composed used for it and also Transformers.

DETAILS CAME FROM KOTAKU moment ago:
https://kotaku.com/music-from-the-80s-transformers-cartoon-finally-gets-an-1823537274?rev=1520346441450&utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Twitter&utm_source=Kotaku_Twitter&utm_medium=Socialflow


As catchy as its opening theme was, music from the original Transformers cartoon has never had an official release. Hasbro and Legacy Recordings fix that grave oversight on March 9 with the release of Hasbro Studios Presents ‘80s TV Classics: Music from The Transformers. On vinyl, no less.
People who follow me on Twitter may have noticed a recent surge in excitement over vinyl music. This is why. Cassette might have been more appropriate, but the thought of listening to the original Transformers opening theme on the crappy $40 portable turntable I picked up last week makes me so happy, I’ll let it slide.

Hasbro Studios Presents ‘80s TV Classics: Music from The Transformers includes that opening theme, along with 45 minutes of unreleased music from composers Robert J. Walsh (who remastered the tracks from their original tapes), Johnny Douglas, Anne Bryant and Ford Kinder. The album spans seasons one through three of the cartoon, so we should be getting a nice mix of orchestrated tracks plus post-Transformers: The Movie synth magic.
The album goes on sale Friday at noon Eastern time, and will be available in three flavors—Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Enjoy The Ride Records, partnered with Hasbro and and Sony Music/Legacy Recordings for the release, has the exclusive on the Optimus Prime and Megatron variants. Think Geek gets Bumblebee. All three versions will sell for $18.99. That’s pretty cheap for limited edition vinyl, so the 2,000 copy run is probably going to go pretty fast.



Here’s the track listing:

Bit of sloppiness in the article - the advert pic states there's MORE than 45 minutes of music.

Indeed! Plus, no mention of an eventual CD or digital download release to follow. Looks like I better find out how to transfer music from vinyl to mp3!
