SB19 announced on Sunday, October 25, 2026, during the second day of One Zone Fest at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, that Wakas at Simula is going on vinyl. It is the group’s first vinyl record. Pablo called it “a huge milestone in our journey as SB19.”
The record carries the first twelve tracks of the album: six new tracks released this year and six re-recorded tracks from the Pagsibol EP. It is a single 12-inch LP, 140 grams, played at 33 1/3 RPM, and the first pressing comes on Smokey Midnight Blue vinyl. Sony Music Entertainment Philippines produced the edition, and Backspacer Records distributes it. Ken said the group hopes fans will make it part of their collections.

How the Album Got Here
Wakas at Simula came out on March 27, 2026 as SB19’s second studio album. The trilogy finale concert followed on April 18 at the SMDC Festival Grounds, and the album era also included SB19’s Lollapalooza debut. In August, the Global CD Version became the album’s first physical release. Its first batch of pre-orders sold out, and Backspacer Records and Sony Music Entertainment opened a second batch. The vinyl is the album’s second physical format.
Gloc-9 also pressed 29 years of his music onto vinyl with Mga Ani ni Gloc-9.
