Album Info

Release Date: 2012-09-19

Label: Capcom

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) soundtracks for Mega Man 1~6 (Rockman 1~6) are remastered from their original sound source.

Mega Man 7 & 8 (Rockman 7 & 8) are new recordings made for this set. They are not the same as the earlier transfers by Team Entertainment in 2007 thus all previous errors from that transfer have been corrected.

Names for the robot master tracks (and others) are not all written in a uniform style in the booklet. For example Mega Man 1 may have "Gutsman Stage" with no space between Guts and man while the track listing for other games may have the have the space like "Knight Man Stage." The track names were entered as they are written in the accompanying booklet... outside the fact that everything is written in capital letters.

The PlayStation soundtracks for Mega Man 1~3 are not comprehensive (they never were re-recorded in their entirety) but the PlayStation soundtracks for Mega Man 4~6 are comprehensive.

Obtaining the UPC for this set is somewhat of an issue as a sticker with a different UPC is slapped over the UPC printed on the actual box that houses the tin so you can't really get the original UPC. You may damage the box trying to peel the sticker off. The UPC listed is the one on the sticker.

Disc 1:
The mastering for some tracks (1-17) is slightly messed up where the high peaks in instrumentation are somewhat distorted. This affects all copies of this album, even the Rockman Sound Box reprint.

Track 1-33 is listed as "Dr. Wily Stage 1" when its actually an original track called "Yellow Devil" from Rockman: The Power Battle and Rockman 2: The Power Fighters.

Disc 2:
The mastering for some tracks (1-26) is slightly messed up where the high peaks in instrumentation are somewhat distorted. This affects all copies of this album, even the Rockman Sound Box reprint.

Track 2-42 "Crush Out (Clashman)" isn't Crashman's theme, it's Guts Man theme from the original Mega Man. This error exists on the mini CD this track originates from and wasn't corrected when moved over to this album.

Disc 3:

Track 3-28 "Magnet Man Stage" isn't the PlayStation version of Magnet Man's theme, it's actually Cloud Man's theme from Rockman 2: The Power Fighters. This is another mistake that was made due to a previous mistake on the The Power Fighters soundtrack track listing back in 1995.

Track 3-30 "Top Man Stage" isn't the PlayStation version of Top Man's theme, it's actually a track called "Mad Grinder" from Rockman 2: The Power Fighters which is a remix of "Opening Stage" from Mega Man 7. Again, this error is due to overlooking a previous error on The Power Fighters soundtrack.
