Cowboy Bebop fans know the importance of the music by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts, which features different genres with more focus on jazz. The soundtrack to the iconic anime series by Shinichiro Watanabe includes classics such as “Tank!,” “Space Lion,” “Rain,” “The Real Folk Blues,” “Green Bird,” “Blue,” “Call Me Call Me,” “Ask DNA,” and the list goes on.

For vinyl record collectors, they had the chance to collect the Cowboy Bebop vinyl record from the first 1998 CD album featuring “Tank!,” “Space Lion,” “Waltz for Zizi,” “Rain,” and more. If they wanted songs like “The Real Folk Blues” and “Call Me Call Me,” they were out of luck… until now.

To celebrate over 25 years of Cowboy Bebop, Milan Records is releasing Cowboy Bebop: The Real Folk Blues Legends, a 2LP vinyl with designs by Toshiaki Uesugi, known for his works in the franchise.

Get It Cheaper from Japan

However, if you order straight from Japan, CDJapan is selling the boxset for $228.84 (at the time of this writing). With shipping to Southern California, it came out to around $300 in total. That’s still cheaper than ordering from the States. I looked at the quantity, and there are 11 left in stock.
