1 hour ago, Olympia said:The Chemtrails one was 100% the same vinyl as the other yellow indie ones. I got both and gave them a detailed check. Same vinyl, same sleeve, same Barcodes. You can't tell a difference except for that strip of paper. And because they remove the original foil to add the strip of paper, the risk for seam splits during transport is increased. Actually any record store (and private people) could make these kind of exclusives. Maybe I should buy 5 copies, create an own paper strip x/5 and see how much it brings, lol. (I won't, just kidding.)
Lmao so basically, Assai Records just deadass get some 500 copies of the indie pressings, tear up the original foil, add a strip of paper with badly translated Japanese text/description, repackage them with new foils, and then try to pass them off as some sort of "limited-quantity Japanese pressings with superior sound quality," when in reality, these are the exact same pressings they'll get from any other indie record stores.
Assai customers must really feel special, huh?

Only selected webstores will have merch, although you have the option between the UK webstore or the Canadian one, both of which ship internationally.

i am new here, this is my first time posting 😊. Unfortunately, I missed the pre-order of Lana's Assai vinyl. I wanted to know if anyone has an extra copy, or doesn't want theirs anymore?
I couldn't afford to buy it back from a scalper who would resell it for 3x its price 😭.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.Unless the Assai exclusive comes with Japanese pressings, I don't think paying extra for a strip of paper is worth it. Although, I've come to learn money is no object for some of you on Lanaboards. My broke, unemployed ass be weeping at the sight of my wallet lmao

So far, I think only the retail exclusive CD will come with a poster while the rest of variants are gonna ship with regular booklets. Personally, I would've liked a poster separated from the booklet, lol but that's gonna use up a lot of paper
49 minutes ago, Olympia said:The last time the poster (showing a red car...) for the vinyl was a double 12" sized print lying inside the vinyl sleeve like a booklet. I don't see the CD description talking about a poster...?
Yeah, all Target-exclusive CDs since Lust for Life (except Blue Banisters) have poster foldouts in place of booklets.

3 hours ago, Fireffie said:Do we know if the alt cd on FNAC comes with the poster too? On the alt vinyl it’s written that it comes with a poster but not on the alt cd
I made a thread on Lana music on physical media, explaining the differences between exclusives she puts out for her records. Basically, any retail exclusive CD/LPs are consistent across all major retail chains that sells them, so if, say, a Target version of album sold in the US ships with a poster, the version they have at HMV in the UK and Fnac in France are also going to have posters.

Few days ago, I reached out to the UK webstore support asking about the missing untracked shipment at checkout. As it turns out, they still have that option but there's nothing they can do for now and they can only pass on my feedback to the webstore team.
For context, I live on the other side of the world. Standard courier goes for just £2.29, but I can only select the £25.74 tracked courier. Long story short, I'm poor and GPB/MYR exchange rate is fucking terrible lmao
Although I could always wait on the Southeast Asian webstore, but it seems like they're taking their sweet time adding the new CD versions to their catalogue (lmao it's only been half a day since they announced the new variants)

Edit: @x VB I think you were asking for alt cover cassettes.
The gods must've heard me when I made these mockups. CD collectors finally getting the love they deserve.

1 hour ago, hotshot2am said:They have added 3 CD alt covers and 4 cassette alt covers to the Dutch and Belgian store internally, I assume they will be available on all her stores.
Don't play with me. My heart can't take it. ;-(

And now, the latest addition to the family—
Excerpt from the article:
That's the other thing. At first, the title was definitely going to be Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, and then I fucking panicked and I went to Neil's house and said, "I know this is fucked up, but I've changed the title. It's going to now be called, 'Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd Pearl Watch Me on Ring a Bell Psycho Lifeguard.'" He was like, "What the fuck?" I was like, "I'm not telling anyone. Just mock it up." He mocked it up, but we realized that maybe it was a bit much to have six titles in one (Eilish & Grant, 2023).

Lmao finally saved enough to pre-order the CD from my usual webstore, but they hit me with a £25.74 shipping against a £11.99 price tag. They seem to have removed the option for customers to choose untracked shipping for just £2.29.
Universal, please—I'm queer, not rich 🥲
(I had previously purchased from the UK store back in 2017 and 2019, for Lust for Life and Norman Fucking Rockwell!, respectively, for a lot less on shipping.)

The poster is fine, I guess. But I would've liked a full-blown tiddie foldout, just so I can spite my bible-thumping aunties coming over for free food (those fucking hags) Or I can use my own edit lmao
mod note: sorry but we can't post any pictures with nudity, even if it is an official pic from Lana. You can re-upload it censored if you would like
(lmao whoops, sorry about that)

Apparently, the retail exclusive CD will be shipping with a poster instead of a booklet proper. I'm kinda bummed out tbh

I guess it makes sense that way, but I'm praying the downloads open on the 10th for my iTunes pre-order lmao
2 minutes ago, LanaBalkana said:Has this been officially confirmed? I missed the news and there’s nothing on her insta
Yeah, she mentioned in her Instagram post/story about the album new release date. But I was hoping this only applies for the physical orders lol

Okay, just wanna be sure—are we still getting digital-only release on March 10th, or has everything been pushed back to March 24th instead?
Template—Make your own Ocean Blvd-inspired cover
in Digital Art
Posted
Took the time to rework the text from the Ocean Blvd album cover into a useable template in PNG format. It's not exactly 1:1, but here you go—have fun, girlies
Additional information: Typeface used for album title, Lana Del Rey, producer and featured artists' names is Turista Gorda NF, with custom Y's pulled from the standard artwork. The subtitles are Maleo thin.
Note: The rest of the text are just invisible against the white background on your screen. Right-click/hold to save it on your device.
Also, I've made additional templates for previous titles here:
AKA Lizzy Grant
Born to Die
Paradise
Ultraviolence
Honeymoon
Lust for Life
Norman Fucking Rockwell!
Chemtrails Over the Country Club
Blue Banisters
