Is a Paranorman pic-disc pressed or going to be pressed?

Because that's what the link above is listed as at that shop.

do the glow in the dark variants play well? 

 

I've got the GITD Red, and apart from a slight audible hiss underneath the music, it plays fine! I left it on my turntable all day though and it didn't charge up very well. You have to hold it right up to a light source, which I would advise against doing unless it's an LED or the sky.

Says glow in the dark in the description. Still $50. I only need the green GID.

 

Says pic-disc in the title description.

 

Can someone search through this thread to find out if they did do or were planning on doing a picture-disc variant?

 

kthx.

Was it labeled on the front as a variant like Paranorman?

None (i believe) of the other non-RSD versions indicated variant, if that helps any.

The Blue Sunshine "blue iris" variant had identifiable markungs. Also, the Tales from the Crypt 7"s, Ghiblis, Halloween splatter variant, and the upcoming Jurassic Park amber are all be identifiable by their different sleeve art.

Well yes, with different sleeve art one would expect a different variant of vinyl… especially from Mondo.

Totally, RT. Blue Sunshine Blue iris is the only one I can think of that differs from what you said. Not so much refuting your statement as much as mentioning the other non-RSD title differences as I recall them for thoroughness' sake.

Here is a quick FAQ, you can link to this post every couple pages as people inevitably ask the same questions over and over. You can link directly to it here: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/83343-mondo-records-thread/page-221#entry1882195

 

Let me know if I missed anything. 

 

Q: When does this go on sale?

 

 

A: At a random time on June 11th. Typically that random time is between 11:30am and Noon EST.

 

Q: How do I get the Dilophosaurus version?

 

A: Version A is black with a triple color variant, the Dilophosaurus. There is no way to guarantee whether you get the colored or the black, the colored variant is randomly inserted. Mondo has suggested that variants make up 1/3 of the total run. You've got a 33% chance if you order one copy, obviously you chance becomes higher when you order two. 

 

Q: So should I order two and sell the other?

 

A: If you want. I can tell you from experience ordering 2 does not gaurantee a variant, though mathematically speaking it should greatly improve your odds. Keep in mind for most releases the black version will not sell for much on eBay, often under retail for the months following a release. 

 

 

Q: How do I get the Amber version?

 

If you are after the Amber variant (Version B) that will probably be available online in more limited quantities. It will not be randomly inserted and will be listed as a unique SKU on the website. So long as it is in stock you can order it and not have to worry about randomly inserted mumbo jumbo. 

 

Past experience suggests that Amber will be available first to Austin residents with the remainder hitting the website at the same time as version A. This has not been made explicit by Mondo so it is an educated guess.

This is will sell out much faster than version A. That is also an educated guess. 

 

Q: How many can I order?

 

A: Usually two copies per order, there is no limit on the amount of orders you can place. I think they have limited LPs to one per order in the past so they may do that with Version B. I doubt they'll do that with Version A.

 

Q: How long will this take to ship?

 

A: Probably not faster than a week and probably not longer than a month.

 

Q: I don't want to pay $7 in shipping, can I get this locally or somewhere else online?

 

A: No. This release is exclusive through the Mondo website.

 

Q: Why are you presenting opinion as fact?

 

A: I tried to avoid that. Fuck off.

I wonder what ever happened with that Mark of the Beast variant for The Omen that got delayed - anyone know if they've made any mention of it?

Was just wondering this the other day. I had assumed they ended up scrapping the second variant, but it could just be a gnarly production delay. To my knowledge they haven't mentioned anything about it since the initial delay announcement on their blog.

I think the "mark of the beast" variant was the triple dot (of 200) that was in the initial offering. Anyhow, the black stripe (of 800?) is out there. I know of two folks who have it. Not sure if they've just slipped it into the Omen run as it's never sold out or what, but both copies I'm aware of have been received it in the last few weeks.

Have you seen picture proof that they have it? I've been waiting to order
