In the US, it will be distributed at Gamestop stores between September 17th and October 7th. In the UK, it will be distributed at Smyths Toys between September 17th and October 15th. The rest of Europe will receive it via the Trainer Club Newsletter in September.
The soundtrack for Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu! & Let’s Go Eevee! will be released on CD in Japan on December 1st. This release comes with two discs containing the soundrack of the Let’s Go games, a 60-page full-color booklet as well as an additional bonus disc with remixed music from Pokemon Red, Green and Yellow. The soundtrack will cost 3,500 Yen.
No Western release has been confirmed so far, though there’s a good chance this will at least get a digital release in the West, as was the case with some previous Pokemon soundtracks.
