Official game soundtracks go up on iTunes all the time now. While plenty of them deserve your attention and money, very few stand out as must-haves like the soundtrack for Jet Set Radio. Hideki Naganuma’s catchy, infectious tunes are responsible for a good 40% of that game’s funky charm. The soundtrack will hit the day before Jet Set Radio’s HD release (Sept. 19th), but you can preorder it now on Amazon and iTunes for $9.99.
As with the upcoming HD rerelease, not all of the soundtrack is intact. Songs by Jurassic 5, Guitar Vader, and a certain…”classic” by a Mr. Rob Zombie are nowhere to be found. Once you come to grips with this sad truth, go ahead and click the jump to see the full track listing.

Ehhh… there’s a difference. This one only includes the Hideki Naganuma tracks, “Everybody Jump Around” and “Electric Tooth Brush”.
The HD rerelease itself WILL have the Jurassic 5 and Rob Zombie songs (along with almost every other track in the original releases), with only “Yappie Feet” and “Many Styles” missing.
My apologies. I did word that a little oddly. We did report a little while back which tracks would be missing in the HD rerelease. I mean to say that like the HD release, this soundtrack will not have all every single song.
