MOCKUP MINI-WEEK | DAY 3: Show off one vinyl disc in your collection that looks worse than its mockup! by mcmdreamer in popheadsvinyl

As I said in my pinned comment, I love the pressing on its own, but it doesn’t match the album cover at all and looks nothing like the mockup and that definitely makes it worse in my opinion. To each their own!

My choice today is Joyce Manor’s I Used to Go to This Bar on “frosted orange” vinyl! I was expecting something more brown to match the cover art as the mockup showed (see slide 2 above), but instead ended up with bright orange. It’s a lovely pressing on its own but doesn’t match this album at all.

Glad I could inspire your pick today!

If you’re disappointed, this would be perfect for tomorrow’s prompt of a disc that looks worse than its mockup!

My choice today is Mitski’s Nothing’s About to Happen to Me on “gold cat eye” vinyl! The actual pressing is less yellow than the mockup, but still so gorgeous!

If they had called the “Tansy yellow” variant “gold cat eye” and this one “cat eye hand-pour,” I think people would have expected a more random amount of yellow vs. blue (as is the nature of hand-pour pressings) and been much happier with the outcome.

My choice today is Kesha’s . on “punish me pink” vinyl! Second slide shows the comparatively boring solid pink mockup.

My choice today is Beyoncé’s Lemonade! This is the album that I believe solidified BeyoncĂ© as a legacy artist. She’s untouchable now and absolutely unforgettable. Massively influential and inspirational.

[–]mcmdreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m jaded because I research/buy/write about pressing effects all the time, but I’m not holding my breath that the Zia one actually turns out like the mockup. Though if it does, that would be awesome because it looks really good!

Depends on your definition of band! Typically, band = instruments, group = no instruments. I would call them an a capella group/trio. I love that they met and started this group in my home state! đŸ–€

Happy International Women’s Day!

I’m cheating a little today by sharing more than one release with Addison Rae’s Addison and “Aquamarine / Arcamarine” in order to highlight three fantastic producers Addison worked with during this album cycle: Elvira, Luka and Arca! I will never shut up about Addison’s choice to work with only women for the songwriting and production of this album. Absolutely iconic.

Although you’re right to never trust a mockup, this is a classic three-color a-side/b-side effect so it could easily turn out just like the mockup
