natenomm Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I listened to the first part of Law Unit on SoundCloud and it didn't do too much for me. I'm kinda bummed the new Cinedelic releases didn't drop today as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 guys just because its not on 180g vinyl doesn't make it bad, lots of 'thin' records play really well. I have no problem with the latest DW releases. I actually am glad that they are using regular size jackets too instead of the over sized ones they used to use. I never said their releases had to be 180g. My point was it would just be nice if the overall packaging of their releases was a little higher quality. I have no problem paying an extra $5-$10 if I know I'm going to be getting something nice and sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk-downing Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Woop! Got a pink Law Unit, glad people are sleeping on this one, Umberto is truly the best! He truly is. I don't care about color, so I'm going to hold off and hopefully buy this when Phantasm drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 First US steelbook release is Flash Gordon: http://mondotees.com/blogs/news/27961219-mondo-x-steelbook-006-flash-gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratbrain Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just got my big order from the Death Waltz drop -- zero damage and everything was packed up tight in a big old box. They even taped the Pye Audio Corner 10" to a flat so it wouldn't rattle around. The jackets are definitely thinner on all the new titles, more like the stock type that Mondo uses for their releases. Not terrible, but definitely not the nice tip-ons DW had been using. Re: the actual records, I've listened to Pye and I'm halfway through The Guest, and they both sound great. "Due in 2015" according to the obi strip on Killer Nun: - Twin Peaks - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Hyena - Absurd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Can't wait for Twin Peaks. Almost caved on an og pressing recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Kinda curious how they're going to handle the Twin Peaks releases. Are they going to be straight reissues with the Julee Cruise and Jimmy Scott tracks or score-only reissues? Would love to have expanded versions with the original album on one LP and a bonus LP of unreleased cues on another. I got an OG copy of the original Twin Peaks OST a few months ago and really want Fire Walk With Me but those are crazy expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I could be into expanded editions of both Twin Peaks soundtracks, especially if it included the Season 2 and More 2nd CD that came out... I'm keeping my originals no matter what, but I'll gladly buy more TP vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratbrain Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 anybody seen a vinyl rip of The Guest out there? Steve Moore confirmed there won't be a CD or digital release, so I guess that's the only way anyone's getting MP3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcreep Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Random question: how long does it usually take for Mondo to ship out their prints? Mad Max is the first one I've bought directly from them and I'm just wondering what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Got my big order from the DW drop and out of all the records The Guest was missing from the package. Everything else was fine, and I contacted them and know they'll be cool about it, but I was really looking forward to spinning that one out of all of them. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just went back and double checked. Mondo actually advertised The Guest variant as 180g Red. Hmmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratbrain Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just went back and double checked. Mondo actually advertised The Guest variant as 180g Red. Hmmmmm.... Yeah it's nowhere near 180g, and not that it matters but my copy is definitely orange. Might have to grab a black copy to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah it's nowhere near 180g, and not that it matters but my copy is definitely orange. Yep, same here. Like you said, it doesn't matter though. I think it looks really cool actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Excited about the US steelbooks. I wonder if we will get different versions of the stuff already put out by Futureshop or if it's a whole separate deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure would be nice to get some of those Future shop books in US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Sure would be nice to get some of those Future shop books in US I doubt they'd be allowed to just reissue them exactly the same since they were store exclusives... but if they did variant editions maybe they could get away with it. Happy to see True Detective getting a wider release as well. Hope this works out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I may be wrong, but maybe the availability of the steel books has to do with Future Shop stores in Canada changing their name to Best Buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Max is the first one I've bought directly from them and I'm just wondering what to expect. My experience has been somewhere between a week and two months. Honestly.

voltagedrop Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I may be wrong, but maybe the availability of the steel books has to do with Future Shop stores in Canada changing there name to Best Buy. Best Buy Canada is still releasing Canadian-exclusive steelbooks, so I think it's more of a licensing/rights thing that determines what gets released where. I have the feeling that both Canada and the US will continue getting exclusives, but they will be different in each country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcreep Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So yeah, The Guest is 180g ÷ 2. Super thin. But it sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally not. Futureshop / Best Buy keeps changing the name back and forth - but I'm sure that has nothing to do with their exclusive releases.
