Damn this is a killer

Ahead of the forthcoming full length soundtrack album later this fall, we're so pleased to release THE MONSTER SQUAD 7-Inch Single. This collectible release features the two pop songs from the classic monster mash ("Rock Until You Drop" by Michael Sembello, and "Monster Squad" Rap by The Monster Squad), and 4 different stunning covers by artists Jason Edmiston, Phantom City Creative, Randy Ortiz and 'Ghoulish' Gary Pullin.

"Dracula" will be available on Mondo's website this May and "The Wolfman" will be available this weekend at Texas Frightmare, in Dallas, TX.

As part of our ongoing commitment to support brick and mortar record stores all year round we are pleased to announce that THE MONSTER SQUAD 7-inch single will have TWO exclusive covers for retail partners. "The Gillman" will be available exclusively to record stores in the United Kingdom and "Frankenstein's Monster" will be available exclusively to record stores in the United States.

DW stated that the Gillman cover/ colorway variant is only available in the UK, while the Frankenstein's Monster variant is for the US

[reddye6]

Is this a series of the same music on different variants or different music on different variants?

[monsterworship]

updated my initial post.

[Mateo Sanboval]

The Gillman cover is fantastic.I may have to Vinyl Bubby for a swap of UK/US variants. I wonder if these cuts will reappear on the full length later this year?

[deafmetal]

The Gillman version is up at Transmission:

Not sure if they will ship to the US on this one...

Guys -

I'm happy to buddy for you on this, just let me know.

I'm personally waiting for the LP, as I'm not so into these super-expensive 7"s. As Tom Noonan would say......

BOGUS!

;)

[static14]

Is it pressed on virgin vinyl? ;)

[Squee]

With Mondo's new low low shipping rates (thanks Spencer) - I figure I'll be purchasing more direct rather than waiting for retail in the UK.

How do other fellow Brits find their Mondo orders get on with customs charges? Is it a lottery like everything else you import?

[texasvinyl]

Hail, Caesar! showed up recently. Not my favorite initially, although it does do a fine job referencing the 50s Hollywood stuff.

Two thumbs up for Mondo going with a heavier tip-on style sleeve for this. I think this might be the first Mondo release to use a nice heavy jacket.

This is a call out to UK buyers. In the past I've been stung with import taxes, usually a pick up from a PO sorting office. However, in the last week I've received e-mails and a letter from a company stating they are holding a Mondo order on behalf of DHL. Payment wanted by credit card or "RETURN TO SENDER OR PASS FOR DESTRUCTION". The company is CCL, Customs Clearance Limited. Anyone have any dealings with these guys, website looks spectacularly unprofessional. Any advice, most appreciated.

[Spun out of control]

The DHL thing sounds legit... no idea about that company, though a quick Google did throw this up:

Sensible thing would be to call them I guess and get a feel for whether it is genuine.

On another note, guess you guys will have seen that DeathWaltz tweeted August release for Twin Peaks.

That would be before MondoCon. I thought they might have held it for the convention, but that should make a lot of people happy that would not be able to attend.

The Frankenstein 7" MONSTER SQUAD variant is now available for $15 at Two-Headed Dog - get it here.

[Hatter313]

in case anyone missed them from a few years back, LITA seems to have stock of both HALLOWEEN slip mats from mondo.

[texasvinyl]

Anywhere else have the Frankenstein version in stock?

i don't think its "we Are Still here" i think its the new material for DWO Spencer tweeted about the other day. no track by that name on the OST listed at iTunes anyway. I think waxwork may be doing we are still here down the line as they promoted it pretty heavily when the flick came out.

happy to see they are doing Darling, that score is great, awesome movie too.

Contraband
Escape from Bronx (Bronx warriors II)

were thoses announced before ? I feel like Contraband was teased

I remember both... I think they'll be released under DWR, though.

[monsterworship]

I don't recall ever seeing Bronx Warriors II announced previously.

I thought Darling was a bit of a snore, I don't remember the music though.

[Hatter313]

yeah they playlist contains selections from DWR, DWO and Mondo labels.

[Hatter313]

Objectively I agree with you on Darling, but the night i saw it the cast was in attendance and I was kind of in subdued mood already so it hit the right cords for me. I doubt i'd be able to rewatch it with any regularity though.

[Mateo Sanboval]

Very excited for Escape from the Bronx as well as Naked Lunch and Crash. I've not seen We're still here (regardless of who's releasing it). And I've never heard of Darling so i'll have to see if that's available to rent yet.

[Hatter313]

we are still here is a trip. set up is for one kind of movie, and the last act goes completely bonkers. i loved it.
