Allan Rayman - I've always thought that Lana sings about a guy like Allan and vice-versa. He even mentioned Lana on a track from his Hotel Allan album. On his newest album he sings about watching a girl in a red dress 🤷🏼‍♂️ On a separate note... Allan is really fucking good and sexy af 🤙🏻 Going to see him in concert in May.

I for sure would still be interested in this project. It was stunning 🤙🏻

Ok, just coming back to admit that I'm a liar. I purchased a copy 😏 Even though the 7" will never have its own catalog number and never be considered an official LDR release; after Lana posting about it, I decided to add the FJM box set to my collection. If the deluxe box set had a limited quantity, it would def make the 7" more valuable. Still tho, I couldn't take a chance of passing on something that might be worth owning as a collective item in the future. Only time will tell if it's worth it 🤷🏼‍♂️ I never thought the LFL heart shaped vinyl would be worth much and that was one of the worst mistakes I've made from a collector's standpoint.

So I was going to buy FJM's super deluxe edition just for the LDR 7", but I decided against it. I couldn't justify the $100 price tag (shipping included) for just the 7". Hopefully, this doesn't come back to bite me like when I passed on the LFL heart shaped single. I'm missing 3 LDR vinyls to having a 100% complete collection and the LFL heart shaped is one of them 🤦🏼‍♂️

Snagged my copy early this morning. It's stunning 😍 I honestly can't believe how many variations of this album I now own

Yep, I just received an email from her US store canceling my CD & signed card 🤬🤬🤬. They gave me a refund and a code to save 15% on my next purchase. That doesn't do me any good because I already bought EVERYTHING !!! The signed art card is the only thing I'm missing 😕

My Target CD has shipped, but not the vinyl. So the delay is true 😔

So I haven't listened to any leaks, I'm waiting until Friday so I can give Lana that stream $. That said.... I have no idea what to expect at this point. Everyone's opinions are all over the place. I've heard the 4 singles she's released already and I was somewhat underwhelmed tbh. That said, the unreleased tracks on BB are some of my fave unreleased tracks of Lana's. I have a feeling I'm going to have split feelings about BB 🤷🏼‍♂️

That score is 10yrs too late tbh. I guess a change if mind is acceptable, but seriously... a 5.5 originally ??‍♂️ Um... Million Dollar Man is a personal fave, just sayin'

@sznofthewitch welcome to the confusion that is a pre-release era. Ever since VBBOTG releases have been messy with COCC being the worst. I had to create a spreadsheet just to keep track of all the different variants and where I bought them from. It was a nightmare ??‍♂️ During VBBOTG her US store misinformed us what the actual vinyl color was and we all thought it was a misprint when people started receiving them. I'm glad this era doesn't have all the different variations that COCC had (with another variant coming out for RST in November). I'm still bummed that there isn't a blue vinyl variant for BB, at least not yet ??

Total bummer ? Thank you @Elle for keeping us informed

Thank you for letting us know about this ??

Thank you for sharing the pics ?? Is there anything different in the packaging to differentiate the two pressings? Are the barcodes the same on both?

So the signed stuff isn't available in the US???? I can't order anything from her Universal site because I'm in the US. So frustrating ? Edit: apparently the signed CD is available only in the US from her store

in LDR terms that means "soonish"

Silver linings ??

... it's country brown/tan, so that's still not exclusive.

Well, I will say that at least the cover options this era are better than COCC area. I wasn't a fan of the group shot ??‍♂️

OMG you're so f'ing correct ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

Not all these "exclusives" being the same ones available on her official store ??‍♂️ Guess we're not getting as many different variants as COCC. That's probably a good thing because my bank account still hasn't recovered from the last era.

I wish you all the luck. I've been collecting them since UV. I had to go back and get all of them from the BTD era only. I'm only missing a couple of vinyl picture disc singles (7" National Anthem & the 12" of Blue Jeans). Both of which are $$$. The only other vinyl I'm missing is the heart shaped vinyl for LFL from UO. I could have bought it when it released, but I didn't... now it's a ridiculously over priced resale. Doubt I'll ever have that single in my collection ?

Lol. It was a nightmare during COCC. So many different variants coming from multiple outlets. I had to make a spreadsheet just to keep track.

Thank you for doing some research ?? It's much appreciated

This is what I want to know also. The "exclusive" is throwing me off. That means it should be available on Amazon only ??‍♂️

I've ordered from them in the past also. So frustrating ?
