    Who else got their’s signed by fate instead of tate?

      Looks great but despite other positive reviews, through a great hi-fi setup the sound on this release is pretty one dimensional and muted. It's flat and clear but lacks the full range dynamics that a Lady Gaga or Beyonce album would have.

        Purchased from US store and matches the mock up perfectly although it’s definitely not Tate’s autograph.
        This and the others are clearly a first edition that was submitted well before the album leaked. Sports car is significantly different (the final version is massively better) and Miss possessive is missing the spoken intro by Sydney Sweeney. I noticed a few extra adlibs throughout as well but nothing as significant.
        The two “physical exclusive” tracks were definitely better off being swapped out for the songs on the digital release. They’ll make nice bonus tracks in the future tho. Honestly didn’t miss either collaboration here but as a whole the album was improved by the changes made after it was submitted for physical production so it’ll be nice to get the album was it was released on vinyl eventually.

          This is definitely the best pressings of the two webstore ones. The colorway is absolutely gorgeous, and it possibly even sounds more dynamic. Wish the interior gatefold & poster were different designs but they're fine.

            gorgeous vinyl, and sounds amazing i just really wish we had the whole album on vinyl.

              this pressing the artwork are all gorgeous and i love the signed poster just wish it was a different photo that she signed (the one of her sitting over the star 😫😫)

                GORGEOUS pressing, wow! By far the best variant of this album. A bit sour that the records are missing tracks ittedly. Wish labels wouldn’t let artists edit albums after submitting them to pressing plants time and time again.

                  I will tell UK BSI merch that the UK made has nothing to do with the USA pressing and will ask for having the usa version, i never seen a fucked up case like this one.
                  same vinyl look and is made different from where you buy it.

                    This pressing is like the mockup from Memphis records MD58 mardi gras simple they press this exact color. Now I just want to throw away my 2 UK ones to trash.

                      I'm confused why this doesn't have all the songs on the album but has others that aren't on the main album
