I can't believe that after all this time, we have Yosemite on an official tracklist. Like, for some reason Yosemite has always felt even more obscure and elusive to me than Life Is Beautiful, and that's quite a feat. It just feels unreal that we're actually gonna get to hear it in less than two months. Hopefully.

Oh my FUCKING GOD! This sentence is art.

So after the anniversary edition of L.A.M.B., Urban Outfitters is coming through with a The Sweet Escape release! 15 years after the album's release, it's finally available on vinyl for the first time ever! https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/gwen-stefani-the-sweet-escape-limited-lp

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY !!!

Cute video, but unfortunately the song is still shit. And is it just me or does he remind anyone else more and more of young Robbie Williams?

Any information about what picture they used for the B-side? Because as of now, that's the ugliest picture disc I've seen in my entire life.

It's kinda frustrating that so many releases by BIG pop stars are... well, very much on the cheap, "this will have to do" side, with the exception of Beyoncé and a few others, of course. And then, on the other hand, you have fanmade (but officially licensed) orchestrations of video game soundtracks with a pressing number of 1000 or less with so many details and so much effort put into them:

Fuck's sake, there was a Spotify-exclusive vinyl, but it's already sold out.

Just ordered from the European UO site, thanks for the link @venicebitx! 10 % off and free shipping for signing up to their newsletter isn't too bad, either. I hope it'll actually look like the mock-up, but even if it turns out to be a different kind of green, it probably still won't be as boring (clear, beige, grey) or ugly (yellow) as the other variants with the regular cover. So far I'm getting: alt. cover CD (from FNAC) alt. cover red vinyl (from FNAC) regular cover green vinyl (from UO) And I think that'll actually be it for me, unless they surprise me with some really fancy variants or signed stuff later on. And I might get the boxset once it's down to around € 15, because it's definitely not worth any more than that.

Looking at how other artists handle it, I wouldn't expect any remaining formats (at least those that will be sold directly via Lana's store) to go live until about a week before the album's release date, especially if there's a tight race for the number one spot on the charts. An extreme example of this was last November's battle between Kylie Minogue and Little Mix in the UK, where both artists threw out vinyl variants, cassettes, signed CDs, alternative covers etc. like there was no tomorrow. Obviously it's a different story for something like a potential Walmart-exclusive vinyl, maybe that's just them being slow (provided that this version even exists).

This song is SO GOOD, I'm absolutely shook! She's serving some classic 2000s vibes à la Britney/Kylie/Paris, and her vocals are amazing! I'm also really happy it's four minutes long; this stupid trend of track lengths only being two minutes something needs to die.

...right lol. NGL this Moonlight Edition seems underwhelming, but she did say that she has enough material to keep us "fed until 2022" and and that she intends to "milk the album". Also, we know she is still planning on touring Future Nostalgia in late 2021, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get yet another edition (or a proper Side B) further down the line.

One of her absolute best, especially Steve Anderson's X Tour version. God, I miss that Kylie...

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Lana's stuff is distributed by Urban (formerly Vertigo Berlin), a sublabel of Universal Music Germany, rather than Polydor/Interscope. This is the same label that releases all of Dua's music over here. There's actually an interview with Tap Management somewhere where they discuss regional differences like this. But anyway, this has nothing to do with deluxe editions or anything of that kind. Also, the 2LP version that HHV is selling might just be the exact same grey + clear vinyl bundle that Lana's store is selling, y'all shouldn't read too much into it.

Oh wow!

The Target alternative cover version of the vinyl and the FNAC/HMV version are probably two separate, different pressings (an American one and a European one), so in theory it's possible that one of them is textless and one isn't. However, the more likely explanation is that one of the mock-ups is just wrong/not up-to-date. It was the same with Britney's Glory reissue, there were like three different mock-ups floating around for one and the same release.

They take the rest once it ships.

FNAC Also @Electric Body, they updated their mock-ups and it's definitely the same as the HMV ones.

Yeah, same here. I just preordered the CD and vinyl from FNAC and in the unlikely event that they turn out to have the standard cover, I'll just cancel/return them. The good thing is that FNAC is very reliable and has great customer service; Urb*n Outf*tters could never!

We don't know for sure until they update their mock-ups, but usually FNAC-exclusives are the exact same as HMV- and Target-exclusives. I think it's pretty much a given that this CD has the alt. cover too, just like the HMV one.

FNAC selling the variants with the superior cover and therefore getting all the money I would've otherwise spent on Lana's store:

You really do hate him, huh?

Legends only, congrats @Clampigirl and @takeitdoen!! OMFG lemme snap a pic of this iconic moment in history!
