Here’s to spring cleaning! I added this Dictaphone boxset to my collection 6 months ago according to Discogs and it got put on my bottom corner shelf next to ZZ Top and seemingly got forgotten about. Giving it a premier listen while I crack on with the tidying, better late than never.

1988 Pinckneyville Pressing. Catching up on the weeks news. Besides threatening to pull funding from WHO during a global pandemic it seems The Great Orange One is now discussing restarting of Nuclear Testing. Yeah, yeah, yeah......so without getting to political we present ‘The Futures So Bright’ and other catchy eighties college radio tunes by Timbuk 3.

Good remaster from 2018, apparently the first vinyl version from the master tapes. The foil slipcase will pick up fingerprints if you look at it and it wont fit in my poly outer sleeves without tearing them, so that's annoying.

I'll spare you the over the top NSFW original cover art that is blown up on the gatefold and the gimmicky hologram. Before this turns into a review I'll just show it to you.

Some of that first Dictaphone LP reminded me of this. If you were in your twenties at the turn of the century then the chances are you attended a dinner party that had either this or St Germain’s Tourist as its soundtrack, lol.
 
Finally getting to yet another stack of new-to-me soundtracks...

Ludwig Goransson ‎– Creed (Original Motion Picture Score)
Mondo ‎– MOND-090, 2017

This “Composer’s Cut” is the first time the film’s score has been released without dialogue tracks and features four never before released bonus tracks.

Back on May 4th it was leaked that Mondo was working on his S/T for The Mandalorian...hope it's some sort of box set.
