The Altered Beast remastered vinyl L is published by Data Discs of London. The remastered vinyl LP, composed by Tohru Nakabayashi and sourced from the Mega Drive console, arrives on an opaque yellow analog record, bundled with a foldout poster of the hand-painted box art.

Altered Beast takes place in Ancient Greece and tasks the player with rescuing Athena from the underworld by transforming into various beasts, from a wolf, to a bear and a tiger. Designed by Makoto Uchida, Sega's beat 'em up debuted in 1988 in the arcades. A console port shipped with the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive in Europe and North America the following year.




From the product page:

The gameplay for Altered Beast may have become dated; but not so for its iconic soundtrack. Composed by Tohru “Master” Nakabayashi, the music of Altered Beast moves between intense battle themes and cavernous dirges; the perfect backdrop to traversing the netherworld, punching pigs and powering up. Sourced from a Japanese Mega Drive and carefully mastered for vinyl, Altered Beast is presented as a 45RPM cut LP in a 400g matt varnished sleeve and printed inner sleeve, both of which feature hand-painted artwork from the SEGA archives.
