Rockstar is prepping up for the imminent launch of GTA 5 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. As a way to add highlight to the event, the company is releasing limited copies of the game's soundtrack.
Aptly called 'The Music of Grand Theft Auto V,' the limited copy of music collections has a total of 59 tracks. The collection was made possible through collaboration with Mass Appeal Records. It features songs from various artists which include Yeasayer, Flying Lotus, Wavves, Twin Shadow, The Creator, Tyler, and A$AP Rocky. It also includes original score written by Woody Jackson, Tangerine Dream, The Alchemist + Oh No with DJ Shadow handling the mixed version.
The soundtrack will have both CD and vinyl formats though it will only be limited to 5,000 copies around the globe. The CD version will have a trio of discs and a gold USB drive that is GTA V branded. It also includes artwork and an exclusive lithograph poster. Everything will be packed in a special die-cut package.
The vinyl format will be in a bundle of six records. It will also have a booklet in full color coupled with an exclusively made lithograph poster. All of these will be placed in a classic box-set.
Both collections look great and will absolutely make a fantastic addition to anyone who is a die-hard GTA V fanatic or someone who digs the game's music lineup.
Several DJ's from GTA V are also reported to have a comeback with plans to include new radio content to be featured on their respected stations. These would be JB Smoove - 'Dr. Ray De Angelo Harris' of Chakra Attack and Danny McBride - 'Duane Earl' of Blaine County Talk Radio.
Other DJ's are also returning and will be making additional commentary. They are identified as Non-Stop-Pop FM's Cara Delevingne, Los Santos Rock Radio's Kenny Loggins, Radio Mirror Park's and Twin Shadow's DJ George, Vinewood Boulevard Radio's Nathan and Stephen of WAVVES, West Coast Classics' DJ Pooh, and Radio Los Santos' Big Boy.
The collections are scheduled to be released on Dec. 9 and will be available at prominent online retail stores and brick and mortar shops. Details on pricing are yet to be announced.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the Grand Theft Auto V will be available on Nov. 18. The PC game version will be a little delayed and will start hitting the store shelves on Jan. 27 of the following year.
