Just when you thought that being smart about extraneous expenditures during a global pandemic was a sound idea …
Mondo, in conjunction with Marvel Music/Hollywood Records, is gearing up to present Alan Silvestri's complete original scores to 2018's AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and 2019's AVENGERS: ENDGAME, available as individual 3XLP sets, or in one massive 6XLP Box Set!
As per Mondo's official press release:
The importance of Alan Silvestri's four decades of scoring films cannot be understated. His iconic theme for the THE AVENGERS (2012) is just one of his many landmark achievements in the world of film music. His scores for the epic conclusions to the Infinity Saga, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and AVENGERS: ENDGAME, are a masterclass in fantasy and science fiction film compositions.
His score for the penultimate chapter of the Infinity Saga, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, is full of triumphant bombastic beats, and solemn down notes, perfect for one of the most shockingly tragic films of the genre. His score for the final chapter of the Infinity Saga, AVENGERS: ENDGAME, is brilliantly meditative, sweeping in scope, and features quite possibly one of the most beloved tracks of the genre, "Portals.” We are honored to present them both in their complete format on vinyl for the first time.
Featuring all new original artwork by Matt Taylor, housed inside of an exclusive slipcase, the score for each film is housed in their own tri-fold jacket, pressed on 180 Gram "Infinity Stone" vinyl.
AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR – Disc 1: Reality Stone, Disc 2: Soul Stone, Disc 3: Mind Stone.*
AVENGERS: ENDGAME – Disc 1: Time Stone, Disc 2: Space Stone, Disc 3: Power Stone.*
*Slipcase and vinyl colors are exclusive to the box set.
The AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and AVENGERS: ENDGAME soundtracks and box set will be available for pre-order at MondoShop.com on Wednesday, April 29.

In addition to owning some of the sweetest-looking vinyl ever to be pressed, Avengers fans can team up the AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and AVENGERS: ENDGAME soundtrack box set with Mondo’s new double-sided Avengers slip mat, featuring Captain America’s shield on one side and the mad Titan himself, Thanos, on the reverse side. Finally, Mondo encourages you to snap up Tom Whalen's newest Marvel pin for everyone’s favorite Flerken, Goose! This disguised feline kept the tesseract safe, but also, is there really ever a bad time to celebrate cats?
Must … resist urge to … spend money … on … glorious box set. Records … too pretty. Soundtracks … too iconic. Strength to walk away … fading. Credit card … processing. Pre-order … confirming. Oof, I think I need to lay down.
Theatrics aside, $90 is a more than respectable price point for a vinyl presentation of this magnitude. It's just so beautiful, and the soundtracks are as epic as they come when looking to bring the majesty of Silvestri's Marvel scores to your earholes. As it happens, I just organized my vinyl collection this past weekend, and now it looks as if I'll have to make even more room for when this incredible collection arrives. Excelsior!
