tonyfranciosa Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Or it could mean labels like Mondo stepping out of the vinyl business altogether. the business was fine without them for years. but whatever it's clear that these boutique labels and releases are not meant for music purists. I don't want to make you guys feel bad about what you spend your money on (cause believe me I've spent plenty on releases missing from my collection), but when a small label is able to get away with charging $70 for a 2LP set it setting a bad standard I think.

tonyfranciosa Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 whatever. maybe bad word choice on my part. but I'm in this for music I can listen to not store on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the business wasn't exactly in a rush to release records like Jurassic Park and 2001: The Lost Score which is what's great about these boutique labels. They obviously release a few average records, but as others said, the bubble bursting simply means less releases in general. Whether or not you think these soundtracks are for 'music purists' (lol) is another discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrd Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 i think the price was pretty outrageous, but i loved looper and i'm a massive fan of anything rian johnson does so i had to pick it up strangely, i have another record in my collection by a band called 'the assailant' which has a burlap cover, hand branded band name on the front, silk screen insert and 200g record and i'm pretty sure it only cost about $20 when it was new, you can get one on discogs right now for $10 http://www.discogs.com/Assailant-C%C3%B3lera/release/2520131 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The vinyl bubble is absolutely wonderful...it's what will keep this art rolling on. Some companies are definitely abusing the bubble with their greedy prices (but if they don't charge more, an eBay user will capitalize) If you don't like a price, simply don't support the company by making a purchase. If you don't like the price and still want the record, bite the bullet and keep complaining on Internet forums to soothe your soul. I 100% back this opinion. my only wish is for a cheaper "Non art" option. It remains a wish, I'm not going to call mondo "Evil" for it, they can do whatever the hell they want. I hope my comments didn't come off as complaining or bitching, I guess since some mondo folks pay attention here my though was to say "Hey as a consumer I think there might be segment of the market you're missing out on".

tetsuodaironman Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Again, if anyone has variants of either Shaun or 2001 I'd be willing to trade my sealed copy of Far Cry: Blood Dragon OST (pink, /200) for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomcreep Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I wrote a piece in honor of Shaun of the Dead turning 10 today. Figured I'd share it with some others that love the film. It's a little rambly, but I've been drinking so, fuck-a-doodle-doo! http://www.underthegunreview.net/2014/09/24/10-years-of-blood-and-beers-celebrating-a-decade-of-shaun-of-the-dead/ SBarry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivc Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Finally had a chance of opening my test pressing today. Etching says MOND-015, so it's Paranorman. Wasn't really interested in that OST before, and I'm still not interested now. If someone wants it, it's yours for cost, and I'll cover shipping as well. On the other hand, that Looper record most of you are scuffing at is my favorite Mondo release so far. If you're on the fence, you should definitely jump on it, the price tag is well worth it if you're a fan of the movie. Edit : Already got 3 PM's about the test pres, so consider it gone for now/ If you've sent me a PM before this edit, you might still have a chance.
