these are nice! i've actually been designing unreleased vinyl collections lately too but they're nowhere near as nice as yours. i originally just had my sister design the sleeve and labels for me for a 2 disc collection of post-btd pre-nfr songs but before i ordered it i emded up designing two 1 disc collections (one of some of kitschy lizzy era songs and one of cute pop songs) and since then i've already designed 5 more and i was gonna order a couple of them this week lol. the worst part tho is once i'm done picking songs and organizing them and designing the sleeves and labels, i just start working on another one. i need to stop myself. i wouldn't mind posting some pics of the ones i designed too (or at least thw one my sister deisgned for me bc its the nicest one)

the real question is where is so legit? and where is scarface? and betty boop boop? and 4th of july? if we're gonna have an unreleased collection, lets make it count and scare away the locals 

yeah unless she's re-recording all the songs on the unreleased compilation, it would bug me having aka songs on there bc like why not just release the whole album???? maybe if she sees how well those songs are doing in thw polls, she'll finally re-release that album. also i hope if she does release an unreleased compilation that she sorts it chronologically or at least by music style or lyrical themes so it flows nicely. but i feel like her team put this poll togethwr without her knowledge bc there's quite a few unreleased songs she's expressed interest in releasing that aren't there

so the local record store here had a copy of that unofficial blue vinyl variant of paradise so even tho lots of people advised me not to get it bc "unofficial vinyls sound terrible" (which is only true half the time) i bought it and i was surprised to find out that it actually sounds way better than the official paradise vinyl! body electric isn't ridiculously quiet and blue velvet isn't ridiculously loud and i actually hear a lot more subtleties in the production and there's absolutely no surface noise. the cover is a tad out of focus but you can only tell if you're really close. the cover does seem slightly brighter tho and the back cover is a lot lighter than the back cover of the official vinyl and its very pretty. the inner sleeve is a picture sleeve which was a nice surprise but the inages on it are super blurry so its not that special. but overall, i'm happy with it. its nice having a coloured variant of paradise and the sound really is good. i wonder if they come from the same maker as the white lana del ray vinyls bc those sound very good too.

the one scene right before the first chorus where she's walking down the stairs gives me strong sunset boulevard vibes. i wonder if it was intentional (it probably was)

Although I would love to see more of the “movie” shots, I don’t think I can vote yes for an alternate video - I think it would take away from the impact this one has xx

I can't get over how good this is, I hope David Lynch sees it 

said he’d come back every may, just to help me if i paint my banisters blue
blue banisters, ooh

A thing that confuses me a lot is when people insist that Lana had a persona in the start of her career. I think that she never had a persona to begin with. She was always herself and she chose clothing , certain aesthetics and hairstyles to just perfect her vision. All of these aspects are part of being a visionary and an artist. Her ability to combine her craft with visuals so masterfully is what made her stand out among other artists of her generation. Admitting she had a persona is like doubting a part of her artistic vision imo.
 
CN'S mv made me think of that even more. She was always true to herself even when people believed the opposite, even when people called her superficial for just choosing a specific way to portray her art.

i think the necklaces represent each of the women before her who had tragic endings. her not wearing one might represent her breaking the cycle

after marilyn, who is it she's channeling? rita hayworth?

its meta 
 
I like it actually!

yeah i find with thw one my sister deisgned for me, i just gave directions and was happy with whatever she did from there but with my own i'm constantly changing them and moving text over ever so slightly and hoping i don't wish something was slightly to the side when i have it. and i'm constantly switching out songs for othwr songs and that's usually how i end up making more collections bc i'll be bummed about some songs not working well enough thematically or into the time slots. like out of the 5 ones i haven't ordered yet, i still kee going back and changing songs or fonts on the cover or all kinds of stuff like that. for now i'll post the ones i've already ordered since those ones aren't changing lol.
 
this is the one my sister designed:
 
and here's the first one i designed:
 
and this is the second one i designed:
 
as you can see, the ones i did aren't as professional as the one my sister did but i still like them. maybe i'll post my other ones as i order them (since thats the only momwnt i can consider them finalized)

on intheclouds when you upload your images it shows examples of how they'll look but it shows it on kunaki too but kunaki warns that texts too close to the edges could get cut off but it doesn't show that when you upload it. but then on vinylify when you upload images, it drastically cuts the edges off so i've been testing them there now just to be safe but i tried uploading the images from the 3 i already ordered to see and all of them had text cut off badly which worries me even tho you'd think intheclouds would mention or show that images get cut off if they do. i guess i'll find out when i get my records which will probably be in june or july (if i order my next few thru kunaki thwy'll probably come first bc they get them done faster than intheclouds lol). i guess worst case scernario i can order new sleeves for them.

in a way i get it like she was presenting as like their ideal girl and she thought they'd eat that up but i guess it went over her head how men can be very snobby about female musicians while the girls are the ones who would relate to it and we do love things we relate to

I think they look great! The one by your sister looks very Lana-like, but yours are very pretty in their own style, too. 
I think you should let them press in this layout. About the track list, just keep on playing them in a row and try to find the perfect order. Have you already found a shop to get them pressed? Depending on the price, you can still do another one if you change your mind. 
 
 
Thank you very much. I only hope they will come out like this once pressed and printed, too.

That's the usual problem for me, too 😅🙈 just too much of a perfectionist. I think it is often easier to overtake someone else's design (as your sisters one) because towards other people's work we are often less critical 😅. 
 
Just post them, I'd like to see them! 
 
Currently my bigger problem are the songs/track lists though as I know how often I have changed those damn track lists in the last years and I know what will happen if I discover just the slightest wrong decision when listening to the vinyls. 😱🙈 CDs are easier to compile also, because I don't have these strong time limitations. For the vinyls, one side should not exceed 21.30 minutes for quality reasons and often I want to have a certain order but have to change songs from A to B sides, not to exceed the running time...
