About Princess Mononoke: Image album

Princess Mononoke was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and released in 1997, quickly becoming the highest-grossing film of the year in Japan and held the box office record for domestic films until Spirited Away was released a few years later. It's no wonder why the film holds a special place in the hearts of so many anime lovers considering the gorgeous animation, fantastical storytelling and overall tone and mood (slightly-more-mature compared to earlier Ghibli films). In-house composer Joe Hisaishi was tasked with sound tracking the film, but before that happened, this 'Image Album' (not to be confused with the soundtrack) was made.

Like other Image Albums, these songs were created before the animated film was completed, as a conceptual rough draft based on notes from Miyazaki about what the score might sound like.

For this first time vinyl edition of the Image Album, the audio has been newly remastered and the packaging is exquisite, with full colour outer sleeve, obi strip, and printed insert with illustrations from the film and liner notes. The accompanying soundtrack and symphonic suite are also available on vinyl for the first time.
