Cartridge Thunder

Cartridge Thunder Ltd. is a record label based in Chicago, IL. We produce and distribute officially licensed vinyl records and collectible media. In addition, we are authorized distributors of amazing products from across the world. Some of our favorite in-house releases have included our officially licensed SEGA soundtracks: Virtua Fighter and Comix Zone. During the production of Virtua Fighter, we had the pleasure of interviewing legendary game creator Yu Suzuki, who is also included in the liner notes for that release. Similarly, our Comix Zone Original Soundtrack includes an interview with then-Sega composer Howard Drossin. In November of 2024, we worked with composer Soichi Terada and co-published the Ape Escape Originape Soundtracks in partnership with his label, Far East Recording. With an extensive background in both the phono and advertising world, we are uniquely positioned to support all of our in-house and external releases with professional design and media campaigns. In addition, we work with an extremely talented network of designers, audio engineers, and illustrators to produce top-notch artwork and packaging for our licensed products. We approach every project as professional fans, and bring the utmost level of passion and quality to our products and releases. Cartridge Thunder Ltd.
