for those wanting a vinyl release, wait no longer! blonded.co (frank's website) just made it available on their store!! of course, like all of frank's releases, its a bit expensive (rn its 75$), but hey, better than a cheap mp3 bootleg
Samplehead_Beats May 6, 2025
anything BUT official versions bru 😭 words words words word

I need an official pressing of this bad boy IMMEDIATELY.

It's sad that this will probably never happen, seeing as Def Jam still owns the distribution rights to this album. They're most-likely intentionally holding out on pressing this, because of how Frank's label contract ended.

The music quality is 5 star but case could use some work. It stays almost like a flatten piece of pre-folded cardboard.

Why is this not released on vinyl? THIS WOULD BE PERFECT VINYL ME PLEASE!!!!!
MutinyRecords Oct 7, 2023
is there actually an OFFICIAL release of this on vinyl?
vinyl.... Oct 6, 2023
The number of unofficial releases on this is wild 😳 there’s obviously a ton of money to be made
InRaimbows Apr 9, 2023
def jam will never release this on vinyl solely to avoid paying frank royalties.
funkynial Feb 27, 2023
Can we get a official pressing please!! Can we get a official pressing please!! Can we get a official pressing please!!

This is the way to play this album, the original cd. Got this from Sunrise Records. The lady there told me that they only get this "Orange Channel" cd every few months and only 1 at max. This is apparently because he does not use a record label and does his music independently. I was just lucky to walk in one day and pick up one. Excellent album, one of my favourites, my ex got me into this album. Favourite tracks are "Pyramids" and "Lost." Worth a buy 100%.
