Mondo Announces Collectible Vinyl Soundtrack for Apple TV+ Series 'Severance'

[MacRumors]

Collectibles company Mondo today announced an exclusive vinyl soundtrack for the first season of the Apple TV+ series Severance. There are two versions of the vinyl with different artwork, packaging, and merch included, and both go on sale this Wednesday.

The first version, dubbed the "Innie Edition" and priced at $60, includes the season one soundtrack by Theodore Shapiro and artwork by Greg Ruth. This is a numbered edition limited to 5,000 units, and it's pressed on black vinyl and stored inside a folder meant to look like something the innies would carry in the show.

Additionally, the Innie Edition comes with a Music Dance Experience card, a record safety card, Eagan bingo sheet, four character cards, a hidden map of the severed floor, and a Lumon disco bag.

The second version, dubbed the "Outie Edition" and priced at $35, is a more stripped-down option without all the additional merch. It also has the soundtrack of season one by Theodore Shapiro and artwork by Greg Ruth, and it comes pressed on white vinyl. Packaging for this one is a spot varnish gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, and the initial pressing will come packaged with a 3/4 reverse board slipcase.

Both versions of the Severance season one soundtrack will go on sale this Wednesday at 12 p.m. CT, on Mondo's record shop website.

Yeah, but when are they going to release the series on Betamax in all of it's 486p glory. Or, maybe 8 track so I can use in my iPod series 1 beta.

Loved the show but the market for something like this after only 1 season seems really small.

 

[Edsel]

Huh?
How do you inscribe a movie/tv show onto a vinyl record?
(I'm ignorant because I stopped watching television and movies 30 years ago.)

Meh. There are some very, very hardcore fans of the show so these will sell.

 

[smorrissey]

What about some love for the CD format crapple?

 

[sniffies]

I wish there was a place to buy some of the props. I would've loved to own one of their desktops (even a non-working one), work badges, the 'The You You Are' book, the 3D holographic portraits, etc.

Arguably one of the best shows on Apple TV+ right now. The thriller/suspense of everything. The subtle hints around what is really going on… love it. Can’t wait for season 2.

Definitely a slow season, but once you get hooked you’re along for the ride. Looking forward to the next season as well.

Mondo kind of trades in these types of products that are relatively niche, but have rabid fandoms behind them. From what I've experienced trying to buy posters over the years, if the demand is high enough, they tend to sell like hotcakes and become insanely overpriced in resell markets (although vinyls may be different than posters, which is mostly what I collect).

I remember those from the 1970s until Cassettes ruled the world.

It’s so beautiful.

It’s the soundtrack.

You can put low quality video on vinyl though.

Honestly don't recall the soundtrack to this, but the show was fantastic and that is a pretty cool edition.

Can't wait for season 2

 

[kesenwangs]

I’ve really enjoyed most of the other Apple+ content but this show just made me feel bored as hell.

 

[mattopotamus]

For those calling it boring, just stick with it. The finale will have you on the edge of your seat. I personally found it very captivating and well acted.

2022 was the largest year for records since 1989. Vinyl is coming back strong.

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

I really want to get into vinyls, but they're so expensive.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Meh. There are some very, very hardcore fans of the show so these will sell.

Or maybe fans of Vinyl just alone. I love this idea to be honest.

 

[GeneralChang]

Neat I suppose, but the real question is when will I be able to buy boxed copies of the actual shows on TV+? You know, just in case they eventually aren't available on the service anymore for one reason or another.

Don't bother. Some people need the hook within ten minutes, others like the slow burn.

 

[deebinem]

Depends on where you source your recs. Back when I was exclusive vinyl DJing, I hated that imports (UK) records were always more expensive.

I mean if all you are collecting is stuff like the topic of this post, then yes, vinyl collecting is really expensive.

I think they should have stretched it out further and waited until the end of season 2 for the reveal.

Mondo makes such awesome stuff. I have their "The Big Lebowski," "Fight Club" and "Shaun of the Dead" vinyl releases. Fun to listen to and they come with such great packaging and artwork.
