Mondo Batman: The Animated Series 7" EP

Here are some packaging shots of Mondo's 7" EP's featuring theme music from BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES that my sister picked for me (while I pursued another exclusive) at San Diego Comic Con. This particular one features Matt Taylor's Harley Quinn artwork:





Side A features the familiar Main Title and End Credits theme composed by Danny Elfman. Side B features alternate takes and versions of the end credits theme. Mondo has really outdone themselves with this 45. 

Harley's depiction on the sleeve conjures the vintage timelessness that BTAS is fondly remembered for. The disc is as beautiful as the art Taylor created for it, and the sound is just a little bigger on vinyl. Records are my preferred method of listening to orchestral music, albeit classical or film scores because there is something warm about analog sound that can only be equaled through listening to an actual live performance. The spirit of the show is kept alive within the grooves and paper fibers this release.
