Various Artists - Stranger Things 5 (Soundtrack Netflix Series) (Walmart Exclusive) - Vinyl
Overview
This Walmart-exclusive Stranger Things 5 soundtrack on vinyl collects the season’s licensed songs into a single, collectible 12" LP pressed on orange-and-black marble vinyl by Sony Music. It’s a various-artists compilation that spotlights recognizable '80s hits that underscored key Season 5 scenes, not the show’s original orchestral score. The package is aimed at fans who want a tangible memento of the series finale, vinyl collectors who chase retailer exclusives, and listeners who enjoy analog playback of familiar pop and rock tracks. As a single-disc release with two sides, it’s ideal for display and casual playback, offering nostalgia and a distinct visual finish that differentiates it from standard black pressings.
