1979 Alien soundtrack reissued on limited edition coloured vinyl

The inner sleeves document the life-cycle of the Alien.

To celebrate the Alien sci-fi franchise that started back in 1979, Mondo unveiled an extraordinary reissue of the original film’s soundtrack.

Jerry Goldsmith’s dissonant soundtrack will be released as a monster 4xLP set on 180g colour vinyl. Created by Tyler Stout, each disc sleeve has different artwork, charting the evolution of Alien, from egg through to its final Xenomorph form.

Each set also comes with a randomly inserted screen-printed handbill:

If you weren’t able to nab a copy before pre-orders of the 4xLP package sold out, Mondo are also releasing a 2xLP set with artwork by Kilian Eng on 180g “acid blood green” or black vinyl.

Last year, Mondo marked Alien Day with a liquid filled vinyl release, limited to just 75 copies.
