Nephasth:
Do you still have the Playchoice parts?
MaxVolume:
Wanted to jump in here and point out that unfortunately the vinyl/cassette and CD of the PAC-MAN FEVER album are not the same. Sadly, they lost the rights to the master tapes and had to re-record the whole album for CD release. The most noticeable difference is the substitution of real dog and cat noises instead of sounds from the Mouse Trap arcade game, since they couldn't find a working machine to record from. I assume they avoided MAME for legal reasons. I still recommend buying the CD, just that you may want to back it up with the vinyl or cassette.

You could get the record and transfer it to a cd using a sound capture card

You guys are all aware that it's a fairly horrible album, right?
Just get the vinyl for novelty display purposes - never play it. ;)
(I do have the vinyl version and have listened to it in it's entirety out of morbid curiosity one evening. It was quite grating...)
