As an Australian, my decision is made for me, as the Mondo version is only available to North Americans, it's a tough call but I think I prefer the overall package approach of the OWS/DW version, and prefer the deluxe splatter colour way to the Mondo green splatter, the gatefold of the impalement scene is a nice touch, and I kind of like the way it offsets the black and silver colour, which is a cool touch and a almost reminds me a bit of the old Cannibal Corpse "censored" cover releases, by hiding the horror inside, so to speak.
I am bummed that the OWS/DW version doesn't have the same centre label as the Mondo one, that details is cool as fuck! I'm not too fussed on the Mondo cover though, too busy in my opinion.
Regardless I am stoked for this release and will be watching this forum like a hawk for the release time, this is the score that made me really examine films and their soundtracks as all these years ago when I first saw it I was surprised at how beautiful the score was and how it bizarrely complemented the film and all it's gory details. There's something about that main theme which is so hauntingly defeated, can't wait to have the vinyl.
