Shelby Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 So it's all the same music, just 3 different variants. I hope the covers won't be randomized :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number11 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm not a variant collector (I actually prefer owning black vinyl) ..but I definitely need all three covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 that would be awful. i'm hoping they have a 3-pack option. I think the Howl's castle cover might be exclusive to SDCC. They weren't clear. Then 2 available next Friday online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkeyelids Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 So when they say the Howls Moving Castle will 'premiere' at SDCC it doesn't mean exclusive right? Just curious as I know a lot of Merch that premiers also seems to be exclusive. As expressed by others, I am not variant collector but all these are too beautiful to pass up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The cover art is being done by Stout and I saw it and it's awesome! Search around and you will find it. It's killer. I am game for all of these. I love Studio Ghibli films. rooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Amazing news. Looks like the next release might be for a bunch of Studio Ghibli films? http://geek-news.mtv.com/2013/07/19/mondo-olly-moss-giveaway-comic-con/ Pics are on page 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I honestly hope that these are not any of that randomly inserted nonsense since it's two colors per release. So if I order two of each one, I am getting the two colors for each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkelly Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I only want 1 copy. I'm not super picky, but love the Spirited Away one. This is a really cool release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aych Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm ready to throw my money at Mondo right now. Spirited Away is my favorite Ghibli film, and I've been itching for some Ghibli OST music on vinyl for a long time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamb117 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 the covers are all beautiful. collecting variants is definitely out of the question at this point... now to choose between mononoke or spirited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Which ever one I get, I'll be happy with. But if a friend can get me the SDCC one, I certainly won't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I order two of each one, I am getting the two colors for each one. It is 2xLP. I read it as both colors included in each release. 3 variants total.

rooks Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 3 variants. 3 covers. 6 LP colors tied to covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 3 Records total (so far). There is 2 colors on each LP because its a double LP, meaning Disc A will be one color and Disc B will be another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah. 3 variants. the music on each set of 2xLP is the same. Just the cover and connected colors change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 someone told me these retailed for $35 at SDCC - they are only selling the Japanese "Howl" variant. The other two are English versions. If these are 35/piece there is just no way I'm getting three :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
