SB19 is giving fans another way to experience its music with the upcoming Wakas at Simula vinyl edition, a limited-run physical release of the group’s second studio album. Pre-orders open today, October 29, at 12:00 PM Philippine time through Backspacer Records’ online store, offering A’TIN an exclusive opportunity to secure a copy ahead of its official release on November 15, 2026.
Officially announced on October 25 during Day 2 of ONE ZONE FEST, the vinyl edition features a distinctive Smokey Midnight Blue pressing, with individually numbered copies and exclusive collectibles. It follows the sold-out release of the Wakas at Simula Global Version CD, further expanding SB19’s growing physical music catalog.
For group leader PABLO, bringing the album to vinyl marks a long-awaited milestone.
“Honestly, we’re really happy to finally have Wakas at Simula in a tangible form because we know how much A’TIN, and even we ourselves, love having something we can see and touch,” he shared. “Having this vinyl edition as something we can physically hold and listen to means so much to us, especially now that more and more people are getting into analog formats.”
A Collector’s Edition With Exclusive Details
The vinyl release reflects a defining chapter in SB19’s musical evolution, bringing together Filipino-language releases, international collaborations, and reimagined versions of earlier material. JUSTIN also hopes the edition will introduce the group’s music to new audiences, both locally and internationally.
“Through this edition, we also hope that new fans, whether local or international, can discover SB19 and have Wakas at Simula as their entry point into our music, while experiencing the album in a more personal and meaningful way,” he said.
Designed with collectors and longtime supporters in mind, the 12-inch single LP comes in a premium tri-fold sleeve containing a 24-page full-color lyric photobook with never-before-seen photographs, an exclusive 11-by-11-inch art print, and a special-edition sticker pack. Each copy also includes one random member photocard, selected from five new photographs created exclusively for the vinyl release.
STELL highlighted the members’ involvement in the creative process, including the visual presentation and packaging details. “We want every detail to feel intentional, and hopefully, this release reminds everyone that at least one SB19 member had a suggestion along the way,” he shared.
The edition also bridges physical and digital listening through a built-in near-field communication (NFC) tag, giving fans convenient online access to the album. According to JOSH, the feature allows listeners to enjoy the physical record while accessing its digital counterpart.
For KEN, the release represents another step in SB19’s continuing effort to explore new ways of expressing its artistry and creating lasting experiences for fans.
“We want to stay true to who we are as SB19 while continuing to challenge ourselves and explore new ways to express our artistry,” he said. “This vinyl edition is one step in that direction, and we hope there will be more opportunities for us to bring our music to life in different physical formats, creating meaningful experiences that A’TIN can treasure for years to come.”
Vinyl Launch And Fan Signing Event
To celebrate the release, SB19 will hold its Wakas at Simula on Vinyl Launch and Fan Signing Event on November 15 at SPACE at One Ayala.
Fans who purchase the vinyl through the Backspacer Records online store using the designated promo code will have a chance to secure an invitation to the event. Slots for the fan-signing session are limited. Interested buyers can check the full event mechanics through the official announcement.
