We know Mondo for their amazing poster line, but more and more lately, they’re making just as much a splash in another collector’s realm – that of musical vinyl.
They’ve released the scores to such films as Drive, Oblivion, Poltergeist and The Raid, and on July 26th they will be releasing Studio Ghibli Kokyo Kyokushu, a live album featuring selected pieces from the scores of animator’s Hayao Miyazaki’s finest films.
Of course, the release includes some beautiful artwork, from favorite Tyler Stout, so it will look as great on your walls as it will sound in your ears.
The full press release is below. Enjoy, and keep it locked on MondoTees.com on Friday!
Mondo is thrilled to announce the limited edition vinyl release of a compilation of selections from five different Studio Ghibli films, featuring performances from the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Studio Ghibli Kokyo Kyokushu will include selections from PRINCESS MONONOKE, SPIRITED AWAY, HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE, THE CAT RETURNS, & MY NEIGHBORS THE YAMADAS.
