Yup, Fragile is one of my top 5 all-time albums. Deviations was a no-brainer for me, regardless of the cost.
Yeah, that's what I was worried about. I wasn't expecting a deluxe package, but... for $80... a basic gatefold with 4 LPs seems a little too minimalist. Oh well. Reznor gonna be Reznor.
Anyway, yes... back on topic... hopefully that Quake preorder happens soon. That's one of my must-haves. I hope it's a fair price.

Oh wait, i was dreaming.

Actually iam8bit recently announced they're doing just that.
It's $700 though...
Ouch. Who was that released through?
Mondo is advertising the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night vinyl on their Instagram:

Is this the last Castlevania release from them currently announced?
The comments I've seen on twitter and Instagram suggest they've hinted of Dracula X being in the midst at some point but I don't think that's official. Not sure where or when they've dropped those hints.
If you're desperate, you could always buy this:
There are a few for sale here, if you're happy to pay the money for it. I bought Vol. 2 a little while back because I was desperate for Fantasy Zone and haven't regretted it for a second.
September release, then?

EXTREME value!
Yup have been thinking about that, but prices are pretty steep and i bet Data Discs is coming with one in the future too. Thanks though!If you're desperate, you could always buy this:
The Viper Phase 1 LP is getting a second pressing, which can be ordered now. Shipping starts July 7: https://bootlegstoreworld.stores.jp/items/58a5326a00d331962b00142b
They might've been posted since you mentioned it, but someone linked a tweet where Mondo confirms Rondo of Blood + Mo from Mondo confirmed it on the instagram post linked here as well. First time I'm hearing about this, but that's exciting!

Crikey that sounds fantastic from the sample on Soundcloud.
Bit pricey at £40+ but man.. amazing.

"a bit" more like xtreme value at around 55 shipped for a single simple sleeve LP :E
should be 12$ +shipping.
Kind of early to tease considering SCIV hasn't shipped yet, no?
I mean, I'm in either way

that's more of a tease for an action figure, atleast by looking at the guy they've tagged in it.
or that is the cover, and they are just going down the toilet with constantly worsening cover art for castlevania releases

I'm in no matter how hideous the artwork
I was lucky in that mine was near mint everything except Obi, which meant I got the sheet music as an extra insert as well as a backstory on each of the games.
Even though my signed Outrun is obviously more rare, I like the GMO release even more, it's just really fascinating (and the scanline artwork on the cover is sweet, too).
But yeah, I'd put a lot of money on there being an Afterburner release on DD in the future. Likewise with Fantasy Zone.
Awesome! Yeah I'm stoked.
This is definitely the longest we've gone from pre-order to waiting for shipment when you compared it with Mondo's first 3 CV releases goes. The turn around has been a matter of days , according to my records. Hopefully it ships this week, but either way I'm not too worried.

That's awesome man, maybe i'll cave if DD doesn't announce something like this within the next year! Sheet music and backstory sounds as a great bonus anyway.

I wonder if it's cuz they moved warehouses
Ah, right. Have they said where the new warehouses are located? I think they used to ship from Dallas, TX.
I may just be spoiled because Mondo's gallery is local and their records are kept in stock in most Austin record shops. I'm sure they ship a whole bunch over to this area with haste.

Pokémon Red/Blue piano album Kickstarter from Materia Collective is up now: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-collections-pokemon-red-and-blue-studio-albu
There's no vinyl options, but they say they might add one if the Kickstarter does well. I assume this means they'll add one at the end either way because vinyl versions really seem to give these campaigns a boost.

Hmmm. Not sure what to make of that. Maybe just a one-time glitch then, but I'm not going to bother correcting it. Weird.

And for movies Mondo mainly has excellent track record, check out this latest new piece for Jaws for example:
I think the person responsible for Castlevania series is just some sort of a madman who hates the series...

Starbound sounds really great Drew! And oh was the inside fold a joy to discover, so glad you and Yetee left its content folds to be unwrapped. Great choices all around.
When Mondo's off, they're super off in my opinion. Check out the disparity between their upcoming Alien 2 and 4LP release for ultimate cringe.... But the Castlevania stuff is taking some cake for sure.

I wanna cop so bad!
Just got mine.
Damn, it's been long since I've seen such a shitty package.
Yeah, The Fragile is minimalist. That doesn't mean cramming 4 LPs into two slots and only having a thin pamphlet with the tracklisting.
Feels like a bootleg.
Then I listened to it, of course, but this is still a depressingly bad start for the reissue series.
I think thats a teaser for the Castlevania SotN Figurine.
The image they posted might very well be a figurine that's going up for sale at some point (or in conjunction), but the SOTN vinyl is definitely on the way very soon. They've teased it a few times (coming soon inserts in various releases, for example) and as far as I know they have never mentioned any Castlevania sculpts or figures yet. Plus, the various commentors seem to be on the same wavelength that Mondo is teasing the vinyl more than anything else.
Guess we'll see but wouldn't be surprised if a figure or two of Alucard or whatever is a thing that shows up on their site.

What's the disparity between the Alien releases? The 2LP matches the Aliens release which looks great and a major draw of the 4LP is that Tyler Stout is doing the art.

That is where we beg to differ- the cover looks like the alien has a runny nose, surrounded by grey-on-black shape soup.
It kind of slipped under the radar. Back in April? 2016 with the Konami-Collaboration announcement.
Scroll down
But I am with you, the LP is arriving soon. Atleast thats what I am hoping for.

Anyone else get that email from Douglas Holmquist that the PinOut vinyl is available again? He directs to a distributor's website (http://www.cobraside.com) to get it, but from there I'm at a bit of a loss. I can find this: http://www.cobraside.com/b2b/details.php?id=1139128 but I am not a business. Can't find mention of it anywhere else.
Here's the soundtrack if you aren't familiar with the game: https://douglasholmquist.bandcamp.com/album/pinout-original-soundtrack
It rocks... the game's great too. TRON pinball!
EDIT: I emailed Douglas and he got back to me in seconds! Send Cobraside an email here: contactus@cobraside.com to order!

PinOut is one of the best synthwave soundtracks for sure!
Following up on this, just received another email from ThinkGeek. Nothing to worry about, apparently; I was unable to cancel the order online so I called them up and they told me that it was being packaged so they couldn't do anything about it. Apparently this rep found a way to do something about it after all, so this was specific to my order.
I emailed Cobraside. They also responded in seconds, but told me that they don't sell to the public, but they did give me the email of a "local retailer" that can order it. What's weird is that it appears to just be a random person's hotmail address. We'll see how they respond, I guess, but my hopes are not high.

Yeah same thing happened to me. Shrug.

Well that's awesome. I missed that being officially mentioned! Hope it's good looking stuff!

The local retailer gave me a discogs link. Doubt that was what Douglas intended...

Maybe report back to him; he can probably advise.

He was the one who told me to email the distributor in the first place... It looks like this is just how this particular store sells their vinyl? Anyone remember how much the vinyl sold for initially? They have it up for $30.
Just checked my order confirmation from when I got it, and it sold for just $15. But it shipped from Sweden, which is close to me, so US distributors likely can't sell it as cheap.
