Whip Wilson Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Here's the Tyler Stout Alien print that they revealed tonight at the Mondo 35mm screening. I'm willing to bet that it's going to end up being the cover of the Alien 2xLP release this Spring that's been rumored since that Test Press surfaced, considering the majority of the print is pretty much designed in a square. Not really diggin' it though, to be honest. Not a huge Stout guy, but that's not a bad poster at all. One quibble: I believe it was ALIENS that has been confirmed via a test pressing not ALIEN.

I thought so too, but it does say "Motion Picture Soundtrack available on Mondo Records" on the bottom of the poster. PRINCE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whip Wilson Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Make no mistake, I'm not saying this isn't going to be released as a score, just that I believe ALIENS is the test pressing richardp was referring to. And good eye by the bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardp Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 No, Alien is definitely coming. April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whip Wilson Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 No, Alien is definitely coming. April?Right, but have you seen or heard of an ALIEN tp? Because I've not heard of one and I'm certain that an ALIENS tp has popped up. That is the only point I was trying to clear up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a Yondu & Rocket print yesterday, vinyl looks & sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowken78 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Good eye!! ... Got a Yondu & Rocket print yesterday. My jacket did come a little dinged in one spot - I don't normally care much about this, but I'm debating contacting them considering it is a screenprinted cover and cost a bit of $$.

batman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I got mine today and will be posting an unboxing video and giveaway with a bunch of Guardians merch too! They accidentally gave me 2 Yondu mini prints as well and I'll be giving one of those away. will definitely be tuning in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Poster is decent as far as Stout goes, would prefer another artist for the LP but stoked on the license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I realize Mondo is all about artists & being eclectic, but the original Alien poster would be more than sufficient for the cover. I mean its fucking iconic. Not that mess of a poster above. unknown pleasures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I don't see them using that as the cover but thats obviously my opinion. Who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm liking and hating the ALIEN poster. Being that it's one of my all-time favorite movies, it's expected to be critical of anything like this. Knowing Stout's style, this could have been better.

timsimmons Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The art is great, the logo is awful. That will make a great LP cover though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desk Cop Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I don't see them using that as the cover but thats obviously my opinion. Who knows! Take a step back from the screen and look at it. You can see it's a 12x12 album cover that they repurposed into a 24x36 poster with a border and big-ass title block. I'm not particularly a Stout fan to begin with but I don't like this. I do like that he tried something different instead of 1,000 floating heads, though. WalnutSoap and BuzzersonKillwell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Seems like an astute observation. The square bit alone would be better than the poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardp Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 You people are way too easy to anger. Just because someone claimed to have had an AlienS test pressing, doesn't mean that it wasn't actually an Alien test pressing. Alien is the release that is actually coming.
