Vinyls & Sheets

Hey there! So, you're looking to collect all the music in TR-49, huh? That's awesome! There are two main types of music collectibles: Vinyl albums and Piano Sheets. Grabbing all the Vinyls will snag you the Vinyl Collector achievement, and if you're feeling musical, mastering all the Piano Sheets will unlock The Perfectionist achievement. Let's break down how to get 'em all!

Vinyl Albums:

You'll get these as rewards for completing various side-stories. There are 10 albums in total, and luckily, the first two are unlocked right from the start.

LP 01 - Spring Day: This one's unlocked at the start of the game.
LP 02 - Let's Groove: Also unlocked at the start of the game.
LP 03 - El Dorado: You'll get this album after you fix Fernando's radio.
LP 04 - Boyhood Dream: Help Ben out with his camera to snag this one.
LP 05 - Capture the Moments: This album is your reward for helping Alex with his date.
LP06 - Great Escape: To get this one, you'll need to encourage David to get a job.
LP07 - Express: This one's a bit tricky. The note says you should get it from Santiego after his coffee mini-game, but honestly, I've never been able to unlock it myself after trying a bunch of times. Keep at it, though!
LP08 - Once Upon a Time: Just keep talking to the Old Man every day, and you'll eventually get this album.
LP09 - Jump Up: Elly will give you this album on Summer (Day 2).
LP10 - Savana: You'll get this by convincing Jack to close down the music store himself.

Piano Sheets:

Each new day brings a new song to play on Morris' piano. There are 7 songs in total. Playing them is optional, but if you're aiming for that The Perfectionist achievement, you'll need to hit 4 stars on every single track.

Sheet 01 - Spring Walkin'
Sheet 02 - de' Violeta
Sheet 03 - Pina Colada
Sheet 04 - Early Summer
Sheet 05 - Haze
Sheet 06 - July Sunset
Sheet 07 - Blue Wednesday (solo)

So, get out there, complete those side-stories, and start practicing those piano tunes! Let me know if you get stuck on any of them!
