Mondo’s New Vinyl: Ghostbusters II, Clue, Turbo Kid, and Black Adam

Mondo

Mondo just announced a bunch of new and re-issued vinyl albums. The batch includes some old faces and surprising additions. Let’s take a look.

First up, if you missed out on the GBII soundtrack before, Mondo is teaming with Sony Music to re-issue the elusive orchestral score of the divisive sequel. The album features art by Paul Mann, and the score is by Randy Edelman (The Mask, Osmosis Jones, Dragonheart). The vinyl is made of translucent pink, imitating the negatively-charged pink slime that runs under New York City. Not a bad deal for $30.

Randy Edelman’s score for Ghostbusters II isn’t quite up to par with Elmer Bernstein’s work, but it gets the job done. It’s hard to improve on the original, but GBII’s OST still has its charm, notably Vigo’s Last Stand and Order in the Courtroom. The overall score comes off as way more heroic than to be expected.

While we’re on the topic of ’80s soundtracks, who’s up for a game of Clue?

The soundtrack for Paramount’s surprisingly good comedy adaptation of the “who dun’it” board game looks like a surprisingly displayable LP. The $30 album has a cover and double-sided vinyl that makes for interesting display pieces.

The music was composed by John Morris, who also gave us the amazing soundtracks for Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles. I tried to dig up a preview of the album but could only find the playlist. Check it out below:

Turbo Kid is back! Not only is the Wasteland warrior getting a new video game, but his soundtrack is being released on glow-in-the-dark vinyl!

The least interesting of the mix has to be the Black Adam 3XLP. Having not heard the soundtrack, I can’t comment, but the overall artwork and color choices for the pieces of vinyl are lacking. If you’re a fan of composer Lorne Balfe’s film score, it’s not a terrible pickup for $50, but I’d wait to see if it’s re-released with better cover art. The three LPs cover 43 tracks, and the entire soundtrack can be previewed over at YouTube.
