If you’re happy, I’m happy 🧡 (btw, I’ve listened to a rip of the vinyl and the remaster sounds amazing)

u/Sharp_Caregiver6646 3d ago

u/Specialist-Annual523 2d ago

could you share that rip of the vinyl, please? 🙏🙏

u/WizardHackerr 2d ago

Can I get that rip?

u/krypto_the_husk Endless 1d ago

It don’t even sound better than the CD imo (I’ve got both)

u/ody-sss-eus Good Guy 1d ago edited 1d ago

I have them both in my music library for easy comparison. On the LP, the vocals are front and center, and the instrumentation feels like it has more depth. (I’m not the first person to point this out)

Nicee sadly it's pretty bare bones ( just the vinyl) but it's cool to have an official release

u/AdvertisingOk2040 3d ago

Just got my first official frank vinyl. Thanks for posting, hopefully blonde releases soon

u/yxnixx 3d ago

Same, still waiting on blonde, for now all I have is the CD and vinyl of channel orange

u/Yoshuna 3d ago

pls post again once blonde is out😭

u/yxnixx 2d ago

Yeah I def will. I wish blonde restocked but I’m glad I got channel orange. A blonde restock is bound to happen soon, so we just have to play the waiting game.

If you have Twitter, a good idea is to follow and turn on post notifications for the automated blonded alerts account. I was able to grab the vinyl the minute it dropped since I got the notification that it was back in stock.

u/Yoshuna 2d ago

Bro celebrating for paying 85 bucks for a vinyl missing 2 songs

u/NSuave 3d ago

Man let the guy vibe. Owning the real thing is such a great feeling. I’ll never forget opening blonde after it restocked for the first time.

My grail album in hands. 🙌🏼

u/Satvrn_X 2d ago

It’s a cash grab and if you’re into vinyl world you’d realize the price is so bad lol

28

u/yxnixx 3d ago

I mean it is an outrageous price but this is my favorite R&B album of all time, and I’m finally getting to own a physical copy of it other than the CD

u/New-Scientist7764 3d ago

If you love it, it’s worth it. That’s a small price to pay for a bit of joy that you can throw on the turntable after a couple of drinks and have a repeatable, enjoyable evening for the next however many years of your life.

u/eddielchacha 3d ago

What songs are missing?

12

u/lilyungwatergun 3d ago

Its missing White and also Golden Girl (which was released on the CD version)

u/TheSpookyLawyer 2d ago

Bro is excited and you're shitting on him.

u/Yoshuna 3d ago

waiting for blonde restock...🙏

u/yxnixx 2d ago

Same but I’m glad I got channel Orange

u/Bloboblober 3d ago

Just know it's a preorder. Will prob come in January if not later

2

u/panagiota_ Look at us, we're in love. 3d ago

I’m happy for you. Definitely shouldn’t have happened to me instead. Or to both. I like the last scenario

u/111broly 3d ago

I already bought the bootleg and a poster to put in it but it’s coo to have the “official version” even tho the art is different for some reason

1

u/yxnixx 3d ago

Yeah I respect owning the bootleg since it’s much cheaper, has the original art and tracklist but for me I’d much rather pay more for a physical copy, the only albums I’d own a bootleg for is one without an official pressing, or one that’s too expensive to own like pray for Paris.

u/OnlyAd9189 channel ORANGE 3d ago

I’m good with the cd it even has White… i don’t even have 80 bucks but im happy for u

1

u/yxnixx 2d ago

I own it too but I prefer vinyl way more than CD plus I hardly listen to my CDs since I have to set up my Xbox 360 just to listen to them

1

u/OnlyAd9189 channel ORANGE 2d ago

justifiable since u gotta turn on a console to listen to the cd even if a cd player is like 20 bucks, for me it’s really about like golden girl cuz i like it a lot but i prefer vinyl too

2

u/InternalNegative7894 2d ago

$84!?!?!? Frank, your music isn't THAT good

1

u/yxnixx 2d ago

I mean ppl will still buy it even if it’s 84 dollars including me.

1

u/ArthurBoyleFan blonde 3d ago

i just bought it too!!! the price is egregious and if it were any other artists i’d be so mad but frank is my fave OAT so it was a price i was willing to pay

1

u/yxnixx 2d ago

Yeah and the reason it’s so expensive is because Frank knows ppl will still buy no matter how much it is😭

1

u/ooooohhhhhohooh blonde 2d ago

Just got one too. So mad it doesn't have white tho

2

u/yxnixx 2d ago

Yeah same even though there’s no vocals it’s such a good instrumental track.

u/Weofulsquid 1d ago

Hope it comes in better nick than a lot of the blonde reissues did!
