The Mondo Records Thread - You think limited? Will sell fast?


Recommended Posts

I'm not a huge fan of the floating head artwork, even though I think this skill set of Stout, Taylor and their ilk is very high. I'd prefer Shaw, PCC, or WBYK. Heck, Tong or Durieux would be grand. Something more cinematic than comic book. Again, I love their art, but I don't find it ideal for cinema personally.

 

I feel about the same. Mondo has lots of really talented illustrators on the roster but I prefer the stuff that appears to have more of a designers touch. Personally I think there is a noticeable difference between say, Shaw's covers and PCC's covers and for me, it generally comes down to how they handle typography and the overall composition. 

 

Stout is generally pretty low on my list of people I want to see doing an LP for Mondo (totally subjective, the man is clearly very talented) but I thought his color work and the overall package was really nice for the Studio Ghibli stuff so maybe I'm crazy. 

 

Not sure why I typed all that out, but here we are.

I really loved the JC Richard JP print from a year or 2 ago. He did a great job and it was the first image I thought of when I read about the LP. I wasn't able to get a print, but if love to have it on the LP.

I'm new to the vinyl world. very interested in learning as much as I can... just curious how you know it isn't a test press. 

 

It is possible that photo is from some type of production sample but generally your test pressings are going to be no frills. Black vinyl and generic labels. 

 

EDIT: Shelb wins by a nose.
