DC Film And TV Soundtracks Getting Mondo Vinyl Releases This Year
Mondois kicking off 2021 the only way they know how: by honoring the only superhero movie that features an octopus playing the drums.
The company has announced that it will be celebrating the heroes of the DC Universe throughout 2021 with “the premiere vinyl pressings” of soundtracks to multiple DC films and TV shows, beginning withRupert Gregson-Williams' score forJames Wan’sAquaman. Other films and TV soundtracks to receive Mondo vinyl releases this year includeShazam!, the first and second seasons ofDoom Patrol, and one especially exciting score that still stands as one of the best collection of music from any DC-related property: 1978’sSuperman: The Movie.
Mondo announced today that they’ll be releasing vinyl pressings of several DC-related soundtracks over the coming year, including Aquaman, Shazam!, Doom Patrol, and a re-issue ofJohn Williams' iconic score forRichard Donner’s 1978 classicSuperman: The Movie. TheAquamanvinyl is first out of the gate: it’ll be available this week, starting onJanuary 6,2021. The other properties will follow, but the timeline is still vague on when we can expect those to be released; the only indication we have is that theSupermanvinyl will be “arriving later in the year,” so you’ll have to be patient if you want that one.
This whole initiative is beginning with Mondo and WaterTower Music’s “premiere physical release of the Deluxe edition” of Gregson-Williams’Aquamanscore, which “features the complete score from the film as well as a disc of Bonus Tracks and Remixes, and includes the songs “Everything I Need” performed by Skylar Grey and “Ocean To Ocean” performed by Pitbull featuring Rhea.”
