museummouth Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I honestly believe Frank has been a part of or approved booting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Roots album was bootlegged by a similar source, so was Watch the Throne & obviously Channel Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's not entirely unreasonable to think that frank himself had a direct hand in having these pressed. He'd probably prefer it that way anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Okay now you have my attention... anyone care to post a sample? I'm mostly interested to know if this comes from a better sounding source... or a clearly different master. Same goes for chanOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly interested to know if this comes from a better sounding source... or a clearly different master. Same goes for chanOR I would say it is not a different master, everything is as it appears on the download As i said earlier, whoever pressed this has an in somewhere because it is well beyond the download version. My only issue with this is there is some noticeable surface noise, but its hardly anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2020 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The label says "Thank You Frank". I guess it's possible he did play a part & maybe provided masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Channel Orange: http://www.hhv.de/shop/en/item/frank-ocean-channel-orange-290846 SOLD OUT Damn,,,, I was about to buy both. So question peoples... does the channel Orange bootleg sound like a noticeable sonic upgrade over the retail cd/FLAC too? The label says "Thank You Frank". I guess it's possible he did play a part & maybe provided masters. That's kinda cool. Care to take a pic of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't in yet but check the hmv.de link. channel ORANGE didn't sound any better than the CD to be honest. I sold my copy of the bootleg. Is there even a 24-bit version out there?

Is there even a 24-bit version out there? There isn't a 24-bit version afaik. I made my own 'demastered' copy because of this (mostly to fix the loudness-war thing... and splice big-boi's 'pink matter' verse into an otherwise lossless copy). The hhv.de has a 2xLP transparent of Watch the Throne which shares the same track layout as the domestic/official/insanely-expensive release (exception being an additional track tacked on the end). Anyone have this? Appears to be a much newer bootleg... Was about to buy this genuine Watch the Throne on ebay then I saw this pic, in the auction: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Def Jam were on top of things as far as vinyl goes. Strange that Big Boi's record gets pressed but Frank's still isn't out & the only version of WTT is stupid.

booms528 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Andre 3G, not Big Boi. Pretty sure he is talking about the unofficial "Outkast Remix" which Big Boi put out, where he added a verse in the middle. firefoxUSSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I try to come correct. Andre3K didn't want an OutKast reunion on someone else's record according to Big Boi. If you haven't heard it... here it is on Big Boi's soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/big-boi/pink-matter-remix-dirty-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Got this today from someone on here and I for one think it sounds really good. Granted I'm no audiophile, but I'm very happy with this. The jacket seems quite thin/flimsy like others have said though, but that's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
