I'm so in love with the vinyl edition for the black dog. Don't think I ever had such a nice booklet. The photos and texture of the paper - I love it so much that I kinda want another variant. I haven't seen photos of the booklet inside for the Bolter version yet. 
 
Was anyone here Fan enough to buy all editions and can tell me if the ivory and phantom clear version vinyls have the same sleeve/booklet? They both are manuscript versions as far as I know and have the same cover. 
I found scans of the phantom clear variant booklet, but not of the white one yet.

She's probably calling it "Lasso" just like she calls DYKTTATUOB "tunnel". The full name might be another 10 words or so, lol.
 
The full title might be:
 
Did you know there was a cowgirl born to die but with lust for life living on the countryside with blue banisters around her ranch playing music to catch boys with a lasso during their honeymoon and they called her UltraViolet for it while Chemtrails clouded the sky over them?
 
or whatever, lol
 
Besides it could be just a working title so they took the most country cliché word they could find, lol. 

I just know that so far I've loved every album by her, and that's not the case with any other artist for me. So I'm looking forward* to whatever she'll release, because I am pretty sure I'll love it, too. 😊
 
*... and this time I'm especially excited for this cause I love country and related genres. I suppose though, as some others wrote, it might indeed be more some kind of Americana, American standards, folk thing, which sounds just as fantastic. I feel like a child before Christmas. 😍

I'm not completely through yet but so far I like it very much. Much more than anything before folklore. Never really got into her older albums. So I don't get it either 🙈

Thanks. I finally found it on Amazon Germany now. 

Is it possible to buy this outside US? Only saw it on her official US site, available only to US customers. (Sorry if this has been asked before - so many posts 😅)

Just wait until it's sold out and you'll easily get what you've paid. Besides, the spot makes it unique, just describe it as that, lol. Collector value of a mispressed vinyl, optically 😅
 
I love these soft swirls/marble effect on my copy. And how yellow it looks turned against the light, like an illustration to "let the light in" 😍
 
I cannot play it currently as we're moving and the speakers are packed already - did they fix the Kintsugi problem? I guess not, but hope is a dangerous thing. ..

Believe it or not, I have one of these frosted ("transparent") Chemtrails vinyls which includes short black particles of 3mm long, looking like someone shaved his face in the factory over the pressing machine 😂 I still haven't made up my mind if I shall hate it or love it because that's surely pretty unique 😂

Oops 🙈 that label mistake... 🙄

I wonder what happened for her to switch up and be sorta mean? I think possibly 2 things:
 
1) Jack Donoghue being Courtneys Ex 
 
2) Journalist and Editor, Lynn Hirschberg, was seen at a dinner with Lana for W Magazine... Lynn was a MAJOR critic of Courtney Love and wrote very damaging things about Love in the 90s which caused Courtney to be removed as parental guardian upon the birth of Francis Bean Cobain...... 
 
 
not cool for lana to be hanging with her, but at the same time maybe Lana had no idea or Lynn was trying to cozy up to Lana at this very public event sponsor dinner for W Magazine.

Courtney used to be cool. I like Hole. I think Celebrity Skin is a brilliant album.
But not anymore. Not after TODAY.

I mean imagine saying that ^ about your friend. That is just plain mean.
Lana once lent Courtney her entire house so she could recover from whatever the fuck addiction she had at that particular time.
Fuck HER
ETA: also she's just really, really wrong. Even if the Country Roads cover was the worst cover that ever covered, it doesn't negate the artist's entire body of work. She of all people should realise this.
ETA2: also saying Taylor "isn't important" is actual brain rot. Even if you despise her and her music, she absolutely IS important, she literally contributes to a country's actual economy when she tours. Important =/= having to like her music or like her.

LOL, but even that isn't perfectly exclusive (In Germany, the artist store has the "phantom clear" vinyl, so it's still not exclusive to target - US exclusive maybe? 😅).
 
Btw, the US store currently seems to have "ghosted white" only. Did they never offer the clear one, for a Ltd time? 

She could have darkened right after Coachella, too, btw. "I'm back to nasty to kill any critics." Just bringing it up to join all the speculation 😅

Yeah. Like I know it’s her show, and this is Lana Del Rey she will do whatever she wants. But surely singing wordy, breathy and lengthy piano songs is not something that’s gonna make you feel confident especially when no one in the crowd is singing back? 
 
Even then, I can’t imagine choosing that slow of a set when like you said Brooklyn Baby, SYTH, National Anthem, Peppers, VB, Mariners, Lust for Life, The greatest were all there……. 
 
We were about 20 minutes away from getting Kintsugi, Fingertips and White Dress 

I know, but the German artist store sells the phantom clear version, just like target. So target exclusive it is only for the US. Just saying that all these "exclusive" descriptions are not really accurate anymore nowadays. Not only for Taylor. 

lana still is the most commented headliner after the 3 days 

My bow just came, and to say I am not satisfied with its quality is a big understatement. It serves cunt when you don't look at it closely, but when you do... just look at the photos. 18$ may not be very much for an American but when converted to my currency it was really expensive. It will just lay on my Lana shrine i guess.

and it was dirty
