firefoxUSSR Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 This will probably come out, with exception of Graduation all of Kanye's albums are on vinyl. Supposedly the Grad vinyl never happened cos Ye was dealing with his mother dying at the time, then made 808s. Before you counter with Cruel Summer that's for GOOD Music really.. not a solo album per se. Maybe the vinyl will be clear with no label in a clear PVC sleeve, with the tape on itMaybe it'll be a picture disc of a giant cd inside of a very large jewel case Marked "Promo Only". Black record in a generic sleeve. That'd be funny as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Who cares about artwork, I just want to hear this already. The songs on SNL were incredible, most specifically 'Black Skinhead'. I love the darker side of Kanye. Really pumped for this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booms528 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 no news on vinyl format 2 weeks before release is worrying me Me too... I'm afraid this is going to end up in the same place as Channel Orange and Cruel Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 you were also wrong about the release date, so just keep saying things you don't think will happen and they will eventually happen. true but more Elliott Wilson being incorrect since that's who I sourced haha. I only say this about the vinyl because it hasn't popped up in the UMG database yet sometimes it pops up later so hopefully this releases eventually on wax.

dreamover Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 there's no preorder for the cd yet either. obviously, in kanye fashion, this is no orthodox release. let's just sit back and enjoy the release. it'll either happen or it won't. no use guessing.

He's banking on being Kanye to sell albums, which will probably work, but I don't see the harm in doing pre-orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no harm in doing pre-orders but I just don't think Kanye gives a fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story, just don't see how pre-orders could hurt. If he really wanted to go guerrilla marketing they wouldn't have a release date and it would just be available when it's available. Having a release date and not allowing people to pay in advance just seems silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who would preorder it cares enough that they're going to buy it first week anyway, so it doesn't really matter much in terms of sales. By not having preorders, it gets people talking about how there are no preorders, which just adds to the mystique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 somebody made the comment on youtube that maybe he's going to give this album out for free... without a preorder, and no real cover plus all the "NOT FOR SALE" backgrounds he used on SNL. An interesting idea that keeps crossing my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting idea that keeps crossing my mind would be cool to see some really new and different release structure for this record. obviously, if he has resources to set up projections all over the world in a small amount of time, he could set up pop-up shops or something like that. or maybe you can only get the cd from drug dealers around the world.
