That's what I'm leaning towards as well. Soundtrack inspired original music.

Ha! I didn't even see the bees. Interesting.

I'm guessing new, original music, but will they be scores or not? Both? Perhaps something like Cineploit?

I've no idea. What makes you think so? They did say it would be their "biggest release yet."

The seller is so pumped that fifty new people have looked at their auction in the last two hours. Less so if thwy realized it was all of us staring at it with incredulity.

Ditto.

Not bad at all actually. Cheers.

If memory serves, I ordered 4 (1 full set for me and an "eye" for my friend) and they initially charged $14. I believe they refunded some of that after I inquired via email as to how many 7"s they could fit into a mailer. And they did arrive in a full sized Mondo mailer.

That stinks. I'd encourage you to email them directly. They are pretty good at working with customers, but they are small and it may take more than one reminder email. Their cardboard is garbage. Every package I've gotten from them has been coming apart around the tape, but thankfully the records have all been fine. I read elsewhere that a lot of UK mailers are pretty sub par. I wish they did subs through LITA as well if only for the safety of the records. I'll be interested to hear what they say about swapping out your covers.

An earnest query: Which version of the animated Batman series is the art for this release based upon? Also, which series is the best one?

Hey, Velocirafftor. Welcome. First, it can take up to 4 weeks for records to arrive from UK. I find most DWRC shipments take between 2-3 weeks to reach me on the northwest coast counting from the date they were actually dispatched. This is a key detail. Pre order dates and even release dates don't mean much to a subscriber. It is the subscription ship dates that matter. For example, COTLD didn't ship to subscribers until Godzilla did. Mine just arrived today. This is pretty typical for DWRC. They often ship subscription records in pairs. So, in brief, -Pay attention to those subscriber emails! They will tell you things like what is shipping with what and when. -If it's been a month since they were supposed to ship and you've not seen them, it's time to inquire. -COTLD and Godzilla should be arriving soon. Lastly, Chopping Mall is made by Waxwork in the USA. Its for sale on their site and not through DWRC. Also, it's not out yet. This could help explain why you don't have it yet and why Death Waltz won't ship it to you. Chin, chin!

I'm sure some will pop up for sale eventually. Just wait for the market to saturate a bit so the prices drop somewhat before you snap one up.

It sold out within several hours of being listed for preorder.

OOOOOHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIITT!!

Truthfully, I cannot remember on this release, but the last handful of releases have seen their web store exclusives available only through DWRC and LITA (distribution rights permitting). My educated guess would be no. Your best bet is to buy an open copy or bite the bullet on shipping and get one from DWRC directly.

Hi Mo.

The plot thickens...

The StrangeDisc label head has stated multiple times that this will probably be their only randomly inserted variant. Not sure if that's true or why he's already made that decision, but he's clearly aware of the consumer push back on this issue.

Nice work, Ratbrain! One of the best scores of the year so far and one of the three best Mondo releases for me.

Folks' copies are starting to arrive!!

Even the Blue Iris variant leftovers has made it online, but they didn't advertise it. Some folks have just randomly gotten one when they've ordered Blue Sunshine. I'm with you on this point, however: if one record was to sell out at the Con, it would be this one. At least some of the variants anyhow.

That's racist.

Zeph, I believe all three Ghiblis and all three Tales from the Crypts made it online, albeit some of them only for moments. Buying at the Cons are the safest way to go.

Dudes, I'm wondering if the DWRC The Beyond release won't exclude USA. Most, if not all (I've not the time to check), of their releases that have been shared with another company are not allowed in the USA.
