Information:
The very first release of this came with a special corrugated slip cover with a RPD dog tag embedded into it. Each tag had a unique number, and I believe it was the first 5,000 units that shipped which had these dog tags from what I've been able to find online on old JP sites. My tag is R.P.D.-04401.
The soundtrack is all on one disc, containing 31 tracks which is the majority of major themes in the game. Almost all the remaining incidental music was released in late 1998 on the BioHazard 2 Complete Track OST.
The music of BioHazard 2 holds a really special place in my heart. It has a feel that they've never really struck again with the series, with the closest being BioHazard 3's mostly as the team working on the compositions used the same base sound samples, and knowing the history of how BioHazard 2 came to its final state it's interesting in hindsight knowing how many tracks still originate from that 1.5 build of the game. Did you know that both Marshalling Yard tracks, Birkin's battle themes, the Laboratory music, Wreckage of the Mad Experiment, and the two 4th survivor tracks all originally came from that build of the game before they scrapped it and reworked things? Wild to know!
