Check Out Mondo’s Incredible Vinyl Release Of The ALIEN Soundtrack
If you're one of those Debbie Downers I've seen wondering why Alien gets its very own day, please take this opportunity to take off and nuke your account from orbit: the rest of us are thrilled to have an entire day dedicated to celebrating the greatest extraterrestrial-based franchise of all time, and we're even more thrilled to see what new goodies each new Alien Day will bring us.
For instance: Mondo's just-revealed line of Alien Day merch, including everything from vinyl to t-shirts and pins (all of this stuff, by the way, will be available for purchase on Mondo's website starting on April 26th). I suppose we should start off with the Big Daddy offering, a 4XLP set featuring artwork from the great Tyler Stout.
Let's take a look.
