ethanpricington Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Grabbed a splatter. Still can’t believe it’s finally happening. I actually ended up finding an OG 7” single at the Austin Record Convention in May, so having a brand new copy to compare will be neat. $50 is steep, but not for my all time white whale and one of my all time favorite movies which was a seminal moment for me as a musician.

Rip Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Wow pretty surprised seeing so many here went for the splatter. I went with the black since it seems to fit the whole thing better and is gonna look great with the “Play Tone” center labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had made the cover look era appropriate and not included a band members gf and the manager then I might have cared about the total overall aesthetic. The front - I think - of that booklet (white with the 4 band members and the band name) would have been better. Just pretend the whole thing is their album, put a hype sticker on it that points out it’s really the movie soundtrack. Anyways rant over, they didn’t do that so I didn’t feel beholden to buy the black variant. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was just also surprised because I always see people here complaining about there being too many “ugly splatter” variants. Just kinda thought people were tired of it IndigoHollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real though, not a big fan of the cover and would have preferred something era appropriate, like you mentioned. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Makes me wonder (ha!) if some of the 3-year hold up was an issue with the studio about the cover art. The press release included a fake quote from Tom Hanks’ character so maybe they really wanted to make it look like a Wonders album. I could see the studio having some weird contract stipulation with the cast (or maybe just Hanks since he directed and is the biggest star) that their images have to be included with any media art, whether it’s the movie itself or the soundtrack. Out of all the cast images I’ve seen, the one Mondo chose seemed the most like an actual album cover as opposed to a soundtrack cover. smailtronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Experience Vinyl looks to have an exclusive color.

Someone earlier mentioned reading that retail was gonna be red, so that checks out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
