I got the Bumblebee one. I first tried to get either the Optimus or Megatron ones on enjoytheriderecords.com, but a little after Noon EST, the page went blank, and when it went back to normal, the two records were all sold out. I then tried ThinkGeek.com, who had extra Bumblebee ones, and got it (about $40). Can't wait to play it on my record player, which is my parents' old one that they gave to me for my other TF vinyl thing that had to do with TFTM, or something like that.

Hope you all got one.

My brother got one. I plan on ripping it to FLAC or MP3 at some point if
nobody else does.

Maybe if they don't make CD versions of these, you could for everyone? Just an idea.

Yeah, but I have to find my turntable first. It's back at my parents'
house somewhere. :(
I obviously never used it very much.

Oh also, I'm hearing from Twitter that some of these tracks are
different from what appears on the screen. Like the version of the theme
song on this record is an early version that doesn't have the robot
voice processing.

However, perhaps Zobovor and his friend could still use some of this
music to fill in holes in their recordings.

That actually kind of makes sense, since that would have been added by the Sunbow guys in post-production after Robert J. Walsh composed and recorded the music.

Honestly, it depends on which tracks they included on the official album. We had to skip a few obscure ones, but I got the impression this was supposed to be a "best of Transformers" release with only the well-known tracks.

I would be very interested if you ripped and uploaded the official album, if only so I can compare it to the ones we previously put together.

Has anyone ripped this yet or found someone who did? Can you hook me up? :)

Thanks,

Looks like the official vinyl album can still be downloaded here:

...Aaaaaaand after you realize that the official release is woefully inadequate and you want an actual complete library of music from the show, there's this unassuming, unofficial little project that took three years to put together:

Zob, thanks so much man for sharing the links. The unofficial ones sound incredible! Amazing what dedicated fans can do. :)
