The Bates Motel Collector's Edition Vinyl​ is Perfect

By Lucy O'Brien

The official vinyl soundtrack for Bates Motel is very... on brand. 

Pulled together by creative agency iam8bit,Inc., the album features Emmy-nominated music from the first four seasons of the horror series, composed by Chris Bacon, in a beautiful package with a pop-up gatefold, and a disc that simulates a draining shower when spinning. Check out the images below to get the idea.

The vinyl soundtrack will retail for $40.00 and can be picked up on iam8bit's store, along with a number of other pop-culture influenced musical packages, and will be available in the first quarter of 2017. The album art for the Bates Motel vinyl release was made by Phantom City Creative and the soundtrack includes liner notes on Bates Motel letterhead and an illustrated pullout poster.

Bates Motel is A&E's longest-running original scripted drama series in the channel's history. Its fourth season wrapped in May, with a fifth and final season currently in production.
