"I'm very proud to compile and press this soundtrack to vinyl. Composing this score was the hardest thing I've ever done - a true labor of love that occupied my entire life for 3 years. I'm eternally grateful that Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive allowed me to approach this score with the care and empathy I felt it's incredible characters deserved. I'm so thrilled that both die-hard and new Battletech fans alike seemed to appreciate my musical perspective on this storied universe. I painstakingly curated my favorite pieces of music from the soundtrack which were remastered on these beautifully crafted vinyls. I hope you'll put on these records and be transported back to the Periphery with Kamea, Alexander, Mastiff and your mercenary crew along with warm memories and anticipation of stories yet to be told!" - Jon Everist
