After Burner II double vinyl soundtrack shipping from Data Discs
The After Burner II double vinyl soundtrack is available for shipping from Data Discs in London. Remastered tracks "After Burner (Melody Version)" and "(S.S.T. Band Arranged Version)" are streaming on Data Discs' SoundCloud channel.

Composed in 1987, music for Sega's fighter jet simulator is by Hiroshi “Hiro” Kawaguchi of OutRun and Space Harrier. The two-disc vinyl set includes the arcade score, an unused “Melody Version” of the eponymous "After Burner" track, and an entire record dedicated to bonus material.

The second disc contains three arrangements performed in 1988 by Sega's S.S.T. Band, and a keyboard and brass medley by SEGA Sound Unit [H.].
