FAYETTEVLLE, AR - OCTOBER 21, 2022 - Troggo Studio, in association with Mustin Enterprises, LLC, is proud to present 20, a limited edition 500-print run retrospective vinyl celebrating the 20 year anniversary of The OneUps. The album artwork includes excerpts from an exclusive interview conducted by Larry Oji, community manager of OverClocked ReMix. Throughout the text interview, QR codes allow the reader to view video footage from the band's archive, including a link to the video interview in its entirety, totaling over two hours. With additional photos and over 32,000 characters in fan stories uniquely assembled to make additional artwork, this is the most thorough collection of the band's history ever compiled. 20 is available for pre-order today, with the vinyl shipping mid-November:
The album features one track from each of the band's eight mainline albums:
The Legend of Zelda - Bossa De Link [Volume 1]
Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone [Volume 2]
Super Mario Kart - Rainbow Road [Super Mario Kart Album]
Super Metroid - Space Warrior Sound Machine [Intergalactic Redux]
TMNT II: The Arcade Game - Super Solar Sewer System [Intergalactic Continuum]
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Vampire Roadshow [Songs for the Recently Deceased]
F-Zero - Port Authority [Part Seven]
Super Mario Odyssey - Steam Gardens [Volume 4]
"You would never believe how much time I spent going through the archives to find the content found in this album," says album producer/curator and The OneUps member Mustin. "I know our super-fans are going to be thrilled with how much bonus content there is. And I can't tell you how excited I am for The OneUps to be on vinyl for the first time!"
"Having grown up alongside The OneUps, the fact that I've been able to play such an active part in making this record has been surreal," says John Gannon, owner and founder of Troggo Studio. "I feel so fortunate to have been able to tag along with Mustin and the band on this project. I hope our mutual love for video games and music shine through on this release. On to the next 20!"
The OneUps are promoting this project in an unorthodox medium with a faux-movie trailer.
"It's an idea I had while driving one day. We're all big movie lovers in the band and I thought it would be a fun way to get people excited about the vinyl," adds Mustin.
