I was cleaning out my room and found 3 Nintendo Power Soundtracks...
Donkey Kong 64
Mario Kart 64
Yoshi's Story
I can't remember where I got them... Must have been through being a subscriber. Are these rare?

They do fetch a pretty penny on eBay, considering they were mail order only and only to subscribers.

They come in normal CD cases.
I was looking at the Mario Kart 64 soundtrack closer... It is called Mario Kart 64 Race Tracks (21 tracks), not Greatest Tracks (14 tracks) like the ones that are on ebay. Hmmm...

Anyone know anything else about these cds? Which ones are the rarest?

Regarding the Mario Kart 64 soundtracks... "Race Tracks" was an album exclusive to the Nintendo Power catalog, while "Greatest Tracks" could be bought in specialty stores like EB or Software Etc. (that's where I bought mine many moons ago).
As for rarity... I would guess the older they get (IE, SNES games) the rarer... though I hardly ever see the 2 CD Paper Mario soundtrack anywhere.

Id say they are all rare just because you couldnt just go out and buy them.
I have sold several on ebay (mario kart,zelda oot,mario 64) and they all went for $40+ each
some even were in not so great shape.
Personally I wish I never sold them just because they are very good ones to have in my collection. Luckily I still have the mp3's of them since I do like to hear them every now and then without poping in the game.
