As
with last year’s first official LV-426 Alien
Day, Mondotees.com dropped a major announcement yesterday. To commemorate Alien in anticipation for the forthcoming Alien: Covenant, the good folks at Mondo opened preorders for two
September 2017 vinyl reissues of Jerry Goldsmith’s original score for Ridley
Scott’s Alien!
The
first release retailing at $35 comes housed in a 2-LP gatefold with original
artwork by Kilian Eng available in two pressings: Acid Blood Green and standard
Black, both pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
The
second release retailing at $75 represents a 4-LP deluxe edition containing
original artwork by Tyler Stout with the recording on the 2-LP release, the
original 1979 MCA album and a fourth disc of outtakes, alternate and bonus
cues. Each box set comes with a screen
printed handbill, randomly inserted 1 of 4 designs exclusive to each set.
Further
still, each platter will be printed on color vinyl accordingly:
Disc

The
deluxe edition will be available for pre-order until May 19th and
according to Mondo will never be pressed again, making this an extremely
limited exclusive vinyl release for Alien
fans! Order while you can! No one will hear you scream when it sells out!
