So for Ocean fans, this was the first opportunity to own a piece of the singer's work on true vinyl.įor me, the catch was Blonde was marked at $35 with another $7.99 due in shipping costs. Criminally, that record has still yet to get an official vinyl release, though there are bootlegs out there. I consider Ocean's debut, Channel Orange, to be one of the best albums of the last decade. Given Ocean's erratic nature though, there was a real possibility to take him at his word. With most artists, I'd scoff at the claim of a 24-hour sales window for vinyl without a more general release already lined up down the road. Not only that, but there was no word on whether or not you'd ever see a wider release of Blonde on vinyl after Nov. As usual with most things Frank, there was a catch, and in this case the physical records and merch were available only through his website and just for 24 hours. 25, aka Black Friday, Ocean gave us another surprise release, this time with Blonde on vinyl and CD, along with some separate exclusive merch. So maybe it shouldn't have been too shocking when, on Nov. Ocean loves ramping up the mystery whenever possible, always keeping you guessing. The record was surprise-released in August after years of secrecy and anticipation, preceded a couple days prior by a companion "visual album," Endless. Both Blonde and Endless were only released digitally, with no word of a physical release. Quality is okay but I'm not complaining.Earlier this year, R&B phenom Frank Ocean finally dropped his excellent second album, Blonde. £50 is not cheap for a fake vinyl but I don't regret the purchase. The record is slightly warped which is noticeable at some songs. It definitely is not perfect and very noticeable that it is a bootleg. Nikes has an extra verse on it which I actually really like. It sounds like someone recorded it with their phone and pressed it on the vinyl. I sounded more like a snippet than the actual song, no clue why this is. While I enjoyed the track, it is definitely noticeable it does not belong.Ĭhanel was really weird. Mitsubishi Sony is a pretty fun track but very different from anything else on the record. It came with 3 bonus tracks (Mitsubishi Sony, Chanel and Biking). They said the vinyl would be marble yellow but it looks more like smoke than actual marble. I picked it up at GlobalGroove for £50 (about €55 for me) and received it 6 days later (UK to the Netherlands). After some research, this seemed like a solid option. I have wanted this album on vinyl for the longest time but didn't wanna pay full price for the real deal.
