Notes: - ELSE VIII (Unofficial) (track 48) is The Ride partially noise-cancelled by inverting Gold Swim. It is not an official track or an extension and thus will not be included. - Project Moondown (Bonus Track) (track 113) and Project Mooncrypts (Bonus Track) (track 114) are fan creations made by Rain Land Society. - Memory Crypts Rain (Looped) (track 115) and Memory Crypts Ambience (Looped) (track 117) are looped versions of ambience and will not be included because unlike the official music, its ambience consists of loaded sound effects.

Alphas, Gems and Junk
"'A pile of odds and ends from the Rain World OST that never made it into the other OST releases, for whatever reason. Most of the early tracks were written for the Rain World alpha, which was conceived in a more uptempo, noisy percussion chiptune style that we wound up moving away from as time went on and we got more emo and dreary with it. Some real gems in that batch though, especially RW_4, which featured heavily in trailers and previews early on, but never fit into the game proper. Also the latter part of the named tracks feature a couple of choice pieces written by Lydia, my absolute favorite of which is Swaying Fronds. That section is pretty solid, just didn't fit the pacing of the original OST release, or the more atmospheric themed 'Ambients and Instrumentals' release. Im happy to have them see the light of day here.  Be warned though: in between those points there is a no-slugcats-land of loud, noisy, junk that was probably cut for good reason! Traverse at your own aural risk!'"


 * Released on March 29th, 2019.

Vinyls
Rain World has two sets of vinyls, both titled "Rain World (Original Soundtrack) by James Primate" and containing 30 soundtracks from the game. The sets consist of two vinyls with fifteen songs each (the A-side and C-side have seven soundtracks whereas the B-side and D-side have eight). Both sets have the same vinyl cover, with the outer artwork being an expanded version of the Songs and Rhythms cover and the inner artwork being an expanded version of the Ambients and Instrumentals cover. In addition, both sets come with a 12" x 12" art print of a Slugcat.

The first set released was an exclusive variant with two glow-in-the-dark vinyls. The set was released in two limited runs by Limited Run Games which occurred simultaneously on December 18th, 2018. These two limited runs were the Rain World Slugcat Bundle (PS4), of which 100 were produced; and the Rain World Soundtrack Vinyl Exclusive Variant, of which 500 were produced.

The second set released is a variant with one marine translucent disc containing the A-side and B-side as well as one violet disc containing the C-side and D-side. The set was released on February 14th, 2019 by Black Screen Records, and can be found here.
