Does anyone have with a different runout from what is listed in Discogs? Mine are all different, with Side C having a super long runout.

Runout A : 40040.1(3)…8 +BLACKBELT-LEVI+ AL19658719671 #52

Runout B : 40040.2(3)…8 +BLACKBELT-LEVI+ BL19658719671 #52

Runout C : 40170.3(3)…2 +BLACKBELT-LEVI+ REI. CL19658719671 248591E3 #67 1325739 MRP3986 / 19658719671-C

Runout D : 40150.4(3)8 #71 +BLACKBELT-LEVI+ REI.. DL19658719671

Energy sounded like the one with Kelis interpolation. Booklet shows ‘Contains an interpolation of “ohh la la la” written by Mary Christine Brockert, Allen Henry Mcgrier and performed by Teena Marie.’

But Heated sounded like revised version. Booklet lyrics also show ‘blastin’ and ‘blast’.

Vinyl records came with scratches and splotches, but did not affect the playback. The record is quiet and sounded amazing.

Does anyone know the actual size of this release? Is it like a mini-LP (7") like Taylor Swift's Midnights or Lady Gaga's Mayhem?

Vinyl sounds amazing. And I love this album cover so much! It’s lowkey better than the official one…
Also she should add the “La”s back in “Energy”… After hearing them in the vinyl again, the version without them really lacks.

Amazing pressing and flawless album presentation but the packaging triggers me bad (it's gorg don't get me wrong) because quite literally every sleeve housing a record ended up with massive seam splits on every side which is so disappointing fff. Thankfully the quality of the records remains unaffected <3

Were Johnny Dangerous and John Holliday from the Foremost poets credited for the intro of Alien Superstar?

literally 10/10. completely flat and zero popping or surface noise. i’m really not surprised tho like.. it’s beyonce lmao

My copy has a weird round spot on side A that affect first 5 second of Cozy. It’s not a scratch, I cannot tell what that is 😕 but I decided to not let my needle run through it. Other than that my copy is nearly perfect. Guess we can never have it all 😔

Managed to snatch this off eBay for retail price a month ago and couldn't be more impressed by the stunning visuals, gatefold and breathtaking sound quality. Everything about this album is brilliant - and the crisp sound quality on this record does this justice!
