    I got the 2022 version a few months before the re-rerelease for like $160😢. Other than that i absolutely love the album and I like the pressing it’s very high quality and I love how the gatefold is so sturdy.

      Amazing packaging. I ordered this a couple back, and I'm writing the review now. The vinyls are fantastic, the sound quality is beyond great, and the packaging is immaculate. If you are a Frank Ocean fan and a collector as well, this is a MUST HAVE in your collection.

                      so glad to finally have this amazing album on vinyl 🥹 sounds great and completely flat (which i’d hope so considering i paid 80 bucks for it…)
