Mondo is teaming up with LAIKA Animation Studios to release the ParaNorman soundtrack on deluxe limited edition vinyl for the very first time! The Blot’s a huge fan of stop-motion animation, and I love the renewed passion and interest LAIKA has brought to the medium over the past few years with releases like ParaNorman and Coraline. While a standard edition version of the 2LP soundtrack will be released next week at the Mondo online store, this weekend Mondo will be releasing an extremely limited Glow in the Dark Edition as part of Record Store Day 2014!
For those familiar with the works of Jon Brion (Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love) you’ll immediately recognize the melancholy, ear-worm melodies in his score to ParaNorman. Mixed with 80′s slasher throwback motifs and a whimsical family sensibility it is a terrific score front-to-back.
The Record Store Day Exclusive ParaNorman Soundtrack 2LP Vinyl Records features glow in the dark cover artwork designed by DKNG, as well as mystery colored GID vinyl. This edition is limited to just 500 copies, with each copy including randomly inserted clear splatter 180 gram 12” discs that glow one of three colors (red, blue or green). I want this so freaking bad! Too bad there's no way I can camp out early enough to snag a RSD 2014 this limited.
