CD Set Announced for Sega Rally’s 30th AnniversarySega’s honoring the 30th anniversary of Sega Rally Championship’s arcade release with a set of music CDs featuring the game’s original soundtrack as well as an arranged one. The company’s music label, Wave Master, announced the album Monday in Japanese. Set for an Oct. 17 release, it can be preordered at four Japanese retailers — Amazon Japan , Beep Shop , Disk Union and Chara-Ani — but there’s no word on whether it will be sold at Western stores. The tracklist shows that the first CD will feature the arcade game’s soundtrack, leading off with a new arrangement of “My Dear Friend, Rally” by longtime Sega musician Takenobu Mitsuyoshi followed by a new arrangement of “Getting Muddy” by Shoji Meguro, who composed music for Atlus starting in 1996 until he went freelance in 2021. There’s a karaoke version of the new “My Dear Friend, Rally” arrangement later on the CD. The second CD will feature the soundtrack from the Saturn and PC versions of Sega Rally, leading off with a new arrangement of “Desert Replay.” The full tracklist is as follows: [DISC-1]
