Sony has posted streaming versions of the music, more or less as it is in the film... with alternate titles and mixes from the soundtrack.

Interesting to see so many negative experiences with Audiolife/Topspin. Not my department (I hadn't even heard of Audiolife until I started seeing complaints online), but I'll definitely pass on the comments for future reference.

With regards to the Social Network vinyl, I still (frustratingly) don't have one yet, but I saw photos of it from someone on Twitter, and was dismayed to see that the printers completely fucked up something that I'd discussed with them over and over again. The designs I submitted included printing in the "gutters" - the two strips on the inside of the vinyl package where the backside of the paper shows through. To make the image continuous over those gutters, you have to print on the back of the paper, because of the way it's folded over to create the finished package. We discussed this ad nauseum, the printers had even come back for clarification about it. Normally we'd get a couple rounds of proofs so I could check everything before it went to print, but we were way behind schedule, especially with the vinyl, due to endless revisions of legal text in the package. And then after all that, according to the photos I saw of the finished product, they did not print on the back side of the paper, leaving two ugly plain white vertical strips on the inside of the vinyl gatefold. I suppose this isn't as big of a deal as it could have been, since each panel is a separate image (it would be a lot worse if there was a continuous image running across two or all three panels), but still, it's not the way it's supposed to be, and little things like that drive me crazy. So, just for the record: Those white strips aren't supposed to be there. Hopefully the overall package looks okay despite this!
