Didn't waxwork just recently do Nosferatu? Why the hell would there be another version already??

And Wah-Wah in Europe, but this isn't Popol Vuh or the score for Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre. It is a 1997 performance by the Prague Philharmonic of a re-score written by James Bernard of Hammer Horror score fame to replace the lost music for FW Murnau's 1922 silent film, Nosferatu.  Also it's a 7".

EVERYBODY NEEDS JOHN GRANT.

Another LP I would pick up in a heartbeat if it was half the price. Pretty common when it comes to soundtracks.

Also, I'm so fucking bummed Mondo is doing The Fountain. Like, I've been waiting for it for over a decade but I despise Mondo. Not trying to debate my Mondo stance and I'd pick it up if it was a corelease by Trump, Hitler, and that dude who bought that Wu Tang album, but still.

I'd rather have Milan do Requiem for a Dream as well as The Fountain and then get them signed. I like the colors and stuff, but again come on, signed requiem for a dream? That would be a dream.

It's being released on Nonesuch.

You're pulling my leg.

There're some interesting titles on the US and UK lists this year, but only a couple that I know I will spin on the regular. Not complaining, mind you, it is far too easy to find ways to spend money without RSD.

I believe the members of VC with more discernible ears have collectively decided that splatters/starbursts/smashes/etc are noisier than solid color records. Aside from white or GITD of course, which are the devils of the vinyl community.

Mostly this. I have plenty of splits and stripes and spatters and swirls that sound fine, but solid colors, preferably black, but including clear, are a safer bet. My point is that you should absolutely get the version that you will enjoy the most, whatever the reason, but if you get "stuck" with the more limited clear version, at least you probably got the best sounding variant.

my collector's mindset wants to go for the clear, but when purple and plink splatter and swirl are options it feels kinda derpy to buy a clear pressing

The clear'll probably sound better.

The Mondo email said Mud would contain interviews with Wingo and Nichols. Are these audio or in the liner notes? There's a little over an hour of music on the CD release.

also the Remember tapes were restocked as well

Thanks for the heads up on this. I presume it's just the Remember tapes on Plus 100, correct? Because I would love to get my hands on Remember's cassette release on Dream Catalogue.

Thanks for all the info, slinch. It's too bad they are not releasing more of the represses on tape. Or the new album for that matter. I am a vinyl fiend first, but I prefer these sounds on cassette.
