For the first time on vinyl you can listen to jazz reworks of classic songs from Studio Ghibli soundtracks.
Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli have commissioned the jazz recordings of music from the soundtracks of popular films such as Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, and Castle in the Sky.
Two albums of the jazzy soundtrack pieces are available to pre-order on a limited run of vinyl, to be shipped in June this year.
The reworked songs have been recorded by Japanese three-piece All That Jazz, who were put together by Studio Ghibli, in a similar manner to the way Simon Cowell assembled One Direction. Except One Direction could never pull off jazzed-up version of anime soundtracks.
You can pre-order a copy of the limited edition vinyls from Light in the Attic, and read the full tracklists below.
