Notes

This is Mondo's regular (limited) release on white and gray split color vinyl.
The Mondocon 2017 exclusive variant is here: Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory - Portal Original Soundtrack.

Single LP housed in a "'Magic Wallet' style" gimmick sleeve (can be opened from either the left or the right side, each revealing a different interior) with heavily debossed line art detailing on front and back. Includes custom inner sleeve & spine wrap "obi" strip.

Mondo catalog number appears on rear sleeve & obi spine as "Mond-110", on center labels & obi back as "MOND-110".
Barcode appears only on the obi strip.

Tracklisting is sequential from 001 to 013 on release (back cover & center labels).
Tracklisting on back cover is incorrect. It indicates that "4000 Degrees Kelvin" is the first track on side B. Instead, it is the last track on side A (A007). Tracklisting on center labels is correct.

Barcode and Other Identifiers

  • Barcode (OBI): 6 16892 50764 2
  • Matrix / Runout (Side A): MOND-110 158450E1/A
  • Matrix / Runout (Side B): MOND-110 158450E2/A

Other than a few "ticks" on side A, this pressing is very clean. Mastering-wise, doesn't sound bad at all. But of course, what shines the most here is the packaging, but I wish it had more content, like in-game screenshots, concept art, or even maybe liner notes about the game and music itself... maybe that would justify paying $30 in a single LP. Feels like all style but little substance (like most Mondo releases I guess?). But overall it's a very good release, I recommend it if you're a big fan of Portal.Also I find this white/gray split vinyl more attractive than the original orange/blue one, so that's a big bonus for me.P.S.: Why the hell they go for the fold-out obi? It's pretty awful, especially when you don't have an outer sleeve large enough to fit the jacket. Too easy to damage it. They could've had gone with the traditional wrap-around like Data Disc's or something like a closed "O-card" for the spine.

I am upset there is no up-tempo version of Still Alive like on the radios in game!

Turn the speed to 45 when playing that song =)

Mondo is still selling this directly from their store. There is no need to pay $100+ when it is available for $30.https://mondotees.com/collections/music/products/portal-original-video-game-soundtrack-lp

I'm 99% sure this is mislabelled; "4000 Degrees Kelvin" is A7, not B1, on my copy, despite what the case says.
Ubranzac
I just checked my copy, it is also mislabeled on the back of the jacket. The label on the vinyl itself is properly labeled with "4000 Degrees Kelvin" as track A7.

Portal Soundtrack. I do wish it was a double vinyl of Portal 1 and 2 so we could have the song “Want You Gone” but hopefully Portal 2 will get release as well.Either way, the technical: it sounds absolutely perfect. I always worry a tiny bit when it comes to Mondo and colored vinyl, but there is no need here.
Coiron
Agreed that would have been ideal. One could make a single with Still Alive on one side and Want You Gone on the other, I've looked into it, but it would be expensive and basically a digital conversion so really pointless except as a novelty.
Zut
Portal 2's soundtrack is huge. To get the full thing it'd be necessary a full box set of approximately 6 LPs, unless you don't mind an abridged version for a single LP. But yeah I wouldn't mind if "Want You Gone" replaced the Coulton mix of Still Alive instead in this one.
