If you hummed the soundtrack to The Monster Squad throughout the late ’80s or in later decades, then you'll be pleased to know that Mondo will release the beloved movie's soundtrack on vinyl this fall. To sweeten the wait for the full-length release, Mondo announced The Monster Squad 7-inch vinyl single that will debut in May and features two recognizable tunes from the film—"Rock Until You Drop" and the "Monster Squad Rap"—as well as four different versions of the cover art.
From Mondo: "Ahead of the forthcoming full length soundtrack album later this fall, we're so pleased to release THE MONSTER SQUAD 7-Inch Single. This collectible release features the two pop songs from the classic monster mash ("Rock Until You Drop" by Michael Sembello, and "Monster Squad" Rap by The Monster Squad), and 4 different stunning covers by artists Jason Edmiston, Phantom City Creative, Randy Ortiz and 'Ghoulish' Gary Pullin.
"Dracula" will be available on Mondo's website this May and "The Wolfman" will be available this weekend at Texas Frightmare, in Dallas, TX.
As part of our ongoing commitment to support brick and mortar record stores all year round we are pleased to announce that THE MONSTER SQUAD 7-inch single will have TWO exclusive covers for retail partners. "The Gillman" will be available exclusively to record stores in the United Kingdom and "Frankenstein's Monster" will be available exclusively to record stores in the United States.
