Widely considered to be one of the best video games ever made, The popularity of the series led to the unprecedented step of doubling the storage space available on the game’s cartridge, allowing for a higher level of detail in the music and graphics. The music was composed and arranged by Nintendo veteran \u003cstrong\u003eKoji Kondo\u003c\/strong\u003e, who took advantage of the upgraded SNES hardware to create more lush and detailed versions of the iconic music cues of the NES original in addition to many new compositions that reappear in Zelda sequels to this day. \u003cem\u003eSwitched ON: A Link To The Past\u003c\/em\u003e is a tribute album that upgrades the sonic quality of these 16 bit compositions from tinny FM synthesis to tasteful analog sequences, and is cut at 45RPM but very compelling to listen to at 33. The tracks are expanded from the original digital release, and the LP version includes the exclusive track “Zelda Rescue”. This album is pressed on limited edition “Red Rupee” vinyl and includes a printed insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'red rupee' colored vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeatures extended versions of tracks from the previous digital release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed insert\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Subtropic Records 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by ONLY A LAD 06\/2019\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Switched on SNES","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":31712503562330,"sku":"lp-11076","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/switchedonsnes-linktopast.jpg?v=1762278031","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/switched-on-snes-a-link-to-the-past-extended-edition-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
