shut up and take my money!!!

Well look at all the people who are already talking about buying bootlegs. Kinda foolish to throw $40 away on a counterfeit pressing only to get an official release of it announced as soon as you parted with your cash on that. Ya think differently? God forbid I dare want to find a message board I can actually be a part of, being too young for Steve Hoffman (I enjoy The Beatles but I also don't think music freeze-framed and ended the second they broke up) and not liking enough cheesepop tween nonsense for ATRL/UKMix. Reminds me why I hate message boards, but yes... I have been checking on a daily freaking basis to see if any news has surfaced, and I already see a lot of people on this thread already ready to go the bootleg route even though the album has been out for a whole four days.... after albums like Lemonade (which i think it's a joke some of the pop nonsense that got a LP release but not this Beyonce album tailor-made for the demo who supports vinyl) and others, you can't take a vinyl announcement for granted.

still wasn't long enough lol... was already gone when I found out about it. Though even then, still don't understand why Lemonade never got a vinyl release even for a brief website-only window.

I think the real problem is that a lot of times if we don't see a vinyl release date set right after release, usually it ends up being forgotten and put on the backburner. Two perfect examples I can think of are Blond and Lemonade, both albums I would've snatched up on vinyl but for some reason vinyl releases never came (well, I know Blond was available for like six hours but if you missed that window, you were SOL).

Beyonce - Lemonade. Still baffled this one didn't make (legit) vinyl especially since the audience who most seemed to embrace it are ones who would buy vinyl over cd/digital

Still waiting for a poor man's edition of AB on vinyl... plus the aforementioned Zooropa, Pop and ATYCLB. HTDAAB is not one of my fave U2 albums but I will get it to add to the collection, and I'm glad it's being repressed.

Yep, preordered it earlier. roughly $11 cheaper than the US with tax.

I was out of town today for work and checked out a record shop there, and I picked up a copy on the new release rack.... then I noticed behind it was one marked clear, so I grabbed that instead. I can't believe how cheap this album is being sold for since it's $6-10 less than the average single lp set.

sweet!!! Thanks for the replies I know it's usually a crapshoot with vinyl, like Jay-Z's album took two years to get a limited box set release, and Yeezus is still bootleg only, and those are two albums you would've predicted would be big sellers on wax

any word of a vinyl release in the pipeline? In general I haven't been a hip hop fan in 20 years but this album really surprised the hell out of me and I would love to have a copy of it on vinyl.

I like Psycho except for the drill sergeant bit which is disappointing is part of the album version too.

Did not know about this... I love Chaz's work so I am curious to check it out

the leadoff single is really good. Usually don't preorder so early but considering the price on Amazon and how they've been known to hike the prices up closer to release, I went ahead and got it locked in at $17.

Hopefully you can push for the Garbage albums too. I admittedly have never been that big on Panic, FOB, Blink, Good Charlotte and the sort, but I could see a Garbage colored vinyl reissue and I'd be all up on those first two albums. BTW, I hope we get more Joan Jett in the future, the Bad Reputation one is a beauty. I'd love to see Sinner get a colored repress.

Compared to Purple Rain or Dirty Mind yea... but really, who is expecting Prince at the top of his game in 2014? I've followed him from the highs and lows and while this isn't his greatest, it's definitely better than some of the forgettable stuff he was making circa 1996-2003. I will be picking both albums up on vinyl

same here. It isn't the best, but there's some very solid stuff on that. Tomorrow, Fire, Gloria, Is That All, Rejoice and the title cut are all essential

I know I'm in the minority but I like the album. I really do hope that more of their 90s and 00's stuff gets reissued on vinyl. I know we have that uber-expensive Achtung vinyl box set, but I'd love a simple 180g version for $20-30 or so without the box set frills. I doubt we'll ever see Zooropa or Pop reissued though, but All That You Can't Leave Behind may come out one day again.

With Pearl Jam's renewed interest in No Code and Yield, performing the albums start to finish on recent nights on their tour, that makes me really hopeful that they are in the pipeline in the near future... would be great to be able to get these on vinyl without coughing up $300+

Ordering the 10" from Amazon UK because I don't feel like dealing with it being sold out on Black Friday. Have pretty much every Bowie album on vinyl except for Black Tie White Noise (hard to get), Buddha Of Suburbia (never released) and Hours (never released), and those albums will likely eventually get a Music On Vinyl issue so I'm not worried, so the 10" with the b-side makes more sense and will be cheaper than buying a bunch of songs I already own.

you can get it for roughly $32 shipped from Amazon UK if that makes it any better

That is true, but a lot of these r&b and hip hop artists have huge white followings too, at least the biggest ones. Kanye for example is usually booked at Bonnaroo, a festival that probably attracts a 90% white/non-African American audience, and of course Yeezus was raved about on Pitchfork, Spin, NME and the sort, websites largely geared to a white, alternative listening audience... so why didn;t Yeezus get a vinyl release? (I don't like Kanye, but still). I mean, if Taylor Swift's albums are getting released on vinyl, someone who is pretty much scorned and laughed at by "hipster" type people, why not put Kanye or Beyonce's stuff on vinyl. I'd even argue there was more demand for Miley Cyrus' last album on vinyl than Taylor's album. The majority of r&b I like is from the 70s and 80s and the modern stuff I like is usually given the dreaded PBR&B tag (Blood Orange, Sharon Jones, Mayer Hawthorne...) but at least those artists are given regular vinyl releases, while the mainstream stuff seems to be 1 in 10.

Not a big fan of hers but I never understood why they quit releasing her stuff on vinyl to begin with. Her first two albums had LP releases, but then I Am Sasha Fierce and 4 didn't... which baffled me especially since vinyl was becoming more commonplace again come 2008 and especially 2011. Even this album took seven months before a vinyl issue. I don't understand the delay and why two of her albums were bypassed on vinyl, especially considering how big IASF was. I notice this is a general trend with a lot of r&b artists who were seeing regular vinyl releases in the early/mid 00's but somehow as vinyl got more popular saw their releases largely come to an abrupt stop on the format... see also Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Robin Thicke (who had vinyl releases of some of his lower selling albums in the late 00s but his biggest hit last year didn't get a vinyl issue), Rihanna, etc... You would think the rise in vinyl sales would've translated to their albums continuing to be released on such a format, especially in the cases of artists like Mariah and Mary who had been dropping albums since the early 90s when the format was initially dying off in the mainstream and saw all their albums get LP issues during those wilderness years for the format but suddenly when the vinyl format began to get more acceptance again suddenly saw their albums no longer released.

I should be getting this from Best Buy's website tomorrow since it's in my city... curious to see if I get a black or orange copy. Usually I am a snob towards "pop" made after 1990 but Jack is actually talented and it throws back to the 80s pop that I loved so much growing up as a kid in the day.

looking at gaps in my collection, mostly 90s titles that came during the "dark ages" for vinyl David Bowie - Black Tie White Noise Duran Duran - The Wedding Album Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain, Black Cherry, Supernature, Seventh Tree Janet Jackson - janet., The Velvet Rope Kate Bush - The Red Shoes, Aerial Killers - Hot Fuss, Day and Age Madonna - Bedtime Stories Paul Simon - You're The One, Surprise Pearl Jam - No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act, Lost Dogs, Pearl Jam (Avocado) Pet Shop Boys - Very, Alternative, Bilingual, Nightlife, Release, Fundamental Peter Gabriel - Us Prince - Diamonds And Pearls, O+>, The Gold Experience REM - Monster, New Adventures In Hi-Fi, Up, Reveal Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever, Into The Great Wide Open, Wildflowers (hoping that with the upcoming 20th anniversary CD, that a vinyl repress coincides) U2 - Achtung Baby (not in a $150 set, but something affordable), Zooropa, Pop, All That You Can't Leave Behind

def preordering this
