It really is weird. I grew up on tapes, but nowadays how does anybody play them? They don't really. I've switched to streaming only over the past few years. I kept all of my CDs (1041) partially or nostalgia reasons and for older albums and singles w/ B-sides that are not on Streaming services yet.

She's def not going to be doing a Complex or Rolling Stone interview anytime soon. Pretty sure she's pissed at their clickbate recently

Yes, the official USA LDR shop's Violet vinyl was always supposed to be transparent. Her official store never added that description to the website until they started taking orders again after the first batch sold out. The cream variant was her UK store exclusive color. So fucking confusing 🤦‍♂️

So we're rocking the exact same Violet collection 💜 And... we're also rocking the exact same COCC collection as well 🧡 The two only exceptions is that I also ordered the red vinyl edition from Fnac just in case it is a textless cover variant. Not 100% sure as of yet, just not taking any chances. And I ordered the standard black vinyl of COCC.

Thank you for letting me know there are other stores showing the textless cover

I keep going back and forth on the textless variation. It could be that Fnac just lifted the pic from Lana's Insta since it is the alternate cover art and that's why it's textless. Then I think about the fact that Lana did post the OG cover with the text and then posted the alternate cover (with a release date comment), but without the test, so maybe that was for a reason 🤷‍♂️ HMV UK shows the same cover as Target with text, Fnac shows it textless 🤦‍♂️ Are there any other stores in Europe that are showing a textless version? As a collector of LDR vinyl, this era is making me 🤪

Not as of yet that I know of, but I'm not taking any chances and end up missing a variant. I can always cancel it if they end up verifying the cover as textless or not.

I thought about the jacket too, but wanted to make sure I had the funds for the vinyl since that is my main focus of my collection. Good luck in getting everything!

@SouthInGuy I now have purchased the following variations: Black Vinyl (Official Store) Grey Vinyl (Official Store) Transparent Vinyl (Official Store) Yellow Vinyl (Amoeba USA) Beige Vinyl (Amazon USA) Red Vinyl w/ Alternate Cover (Target USA) Red Vinyl w/ Alternate Cover (Textless) (Fnac) Green Vinyl (Urban Outfitters) CD Standard (Official Store) CD w/ Alternate Cover (Target USA) CD Box Set (Official Store) Cassette #1 COVID Mask (Official Store) The news of there being more variations in the pipeline is giving me palpitations I am seriously going to be officially Lana Del Rey poor after all of this

Yeah, I ordered the UO green variant today, but I did not order the cassette. So help me God, if their copy ends up being different I am going to

You are correct, it does say "limited", but the little "UO" sticker in the top left corner says "exclusive" Thank you for clarifying So Walmart has vinyls up for preorder, but nothing exclusive to just them. Are we sure they were getting something exclusive?

So the Urban Outfitter's cassette says it's exclusive, but it looks the same as the one on Lana's official store. Any ideas what makes it exclusive?

Oh, you mean an orange vinyl that Violet should have had a variant of? Yeah, that would have been nice 👌 🍊

Black Vinyl (Official Store) Grey Vinyl (Official Store) Transparent Vinyl (Official Store) Yellow Vinyl (Amoeba USA) Beige Vinyl (Amazon USA) Red Vinyl w/ Alternate Cover (Target USA) Red Vinyl w/ Alternate Cover (Textless) (Fnac) There are supposedly more vinyl variations coming at some point, so I will (hopefully) be getting those as well.

Thank you for doing this I will keep checking their website for an update. I still have my preorder with them for the textless vinyl
