Ahh, thank you ??

How did you find this actual preorder? If you go to the music portion of Lana's Universal site, this is not shown with the other preorders. Edit: I literally checked her site about an hour ago and didn't see this. It's still not shown

The amount of vinyl variations I've f'ing purchased for this era ?‍♂️?

I like collecting Lana memorabilia, it's not that deep of a problem or conversation. Regardless of anyone's opinion of the cover, that doesn't diminish the album experience itself. When the cover for NFR was released, I was taken back by it, but guess what... NFR fucking slayed !!! Also, I do support indie artists on Bandcamp too. I'm an avid music lover, Lana just happens to be my fave and she happens to be backed by a music conglomerate.

I now see that the seller is offering other mugs printed by themselves. Though the description of the COCC mug is completely different than the other mugs they are selling. Not sure how to verify if they are legit or not ?‍♂️ I panic bought one too last night, just in case. I'm curious about the packaging once I receive it. They described it as "unopened and in original packaging"

I believe that they are, but in limited quantities. They were not available to the general public for purchase, but were only promotional items for Polydor Records (which is Lana's European label, Interscope is her American lable). Not sure if these were available in the US or not. The one I purchased was for Polydor not Interscope Records. Thanks to @electra for the heads-up on this item ?

Not in the way of a boxset, that's it so far Edit: A vinyl boxset would of been really f'ing sweet this go-around. Especially with the multitude of vinyl options

I love you !! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's ordered ?

WHAT??? I'm so jealous ? My morning coffee with COCC would be the best part of waking up!!! Edit: you are talking about coffee mugs, correct?

Well, that's definitely a plus. With the amount of money I've already spent on this era, I would take a discount anywhere I could get it

So I just received my Forgotten Vibes Box. It's not listed on her website anymore and I can't remember everything that's in it What are the sticks? Also, the fact that it's called the Forgotten Vibes Box is very apropo because I forgot that I even ordered it

Ugh... Walmart ?‍♂️ The amount of different variants with this era is unbelievable and the rumor that there are still more coming is making me ? COCC better (literally) blow me away at this point because my bank account is getting blown to smithereens.

So are we sure there are additional variations coming? I received an email today from Lana's website letting me know about all of the "exclusive limited editions" that are now available and where they can be preordered. All of which we already know about. Is the whole Walmart exclusive vinyl, picture disc vinyl and additional tape still presumably happening?

Thank you for all your efforts in figuring this textless cover issue out ? I've canceled my Fnac red vinyl edition, which means I can put that saved money towards one of the yet to be announced vinyl variants still to come ?

So... do you think I can cancel my preorder? I'm also getting the Target red vinyl which comes with the alternate cover. Judging by your sleuthing, the textless cover is a non-thing at this point

I understand your point, which is very valid tbh. To each their own

Is this pre-order process going to last for the next 2 months? Just drop all of the variants on us already !!! Trying to keep up with who has what and which ones have I ordered is driving me a bit nuts rn

Nope and here I sit waiting

I'm not sure if we know the exact green hue of the UO vinyl. The rumor was a pastel green, but the pic looks more woodsy / mossy to me ?‍♂️ Also, the yellow vinyl is available in the USA from Amoeba (that's where I preordered mine from). There may be other indie stores selling it also, not 100% sure

I am expecting the same cover as well, but still not taking any chances until it gets closer to launch and (hopefully) a more concrete answer. Thank you for updating us on your ongoing conversation with Fnac

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.

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.
