after swearing off buying vinyls from this woman (not getting into that trauma again), I have decided to preorder the $150 because the disc is my favorite color blue

no lessons learned

Is the price normal compared to some other artists vinyls?

Good. One less *** on this base.

Whew, thank God.

There needs to be something new to this. New recorded vocals, new remix/collabs or its just not fun.

To be honest this seems like a project her team decided to do after she told them she was taking off this year. So they have just used her old stuff like Donk/Bday 20th to keep them busy.

Beyoncé team is not doing anything on their own without her being in charge if it.

If you stan beyonce you should know this by now

yeah, a new opportunity to give her more money

I am suprised we haven't got a Spanish version of Donk yet

am I the only one happy since this confirms creole on streaming... hopefully she has a dolby atmos version of the album as well so it can kinda be remastered

I'm certainly not buying from her website tho. Learned that lesson already.

I think this is a reasonable time to criticize her. I still believe something went askew with Act III, and this is her way of making a quick cash grab off of the people who will click purchase on anything she does.

But let's not pretend y'all don't go overboard sometimes

Act 3 was never going to be released this year.

It became clear when jay z started annoying this shows and making movements. And they move as a family a whole unit for their kids.

I think HIVE as usual assumed things like they normally do.

It says executive produced by Beyoncé, original said Mathew too. I don't know if that give us an indication of it being remastered.

let's form a prayer circle

she had somewhat of a deal with Dolby for Ren, probably thought they'd pay her for using Atmos and when she found out they didn't she said never again

Well… I'm lickin boots.

(Let's get a target release, I am not paying for shipping)

it's a 4 LP, 180g vinyl set.

Kacey Musgraves recently announced a 2 LP, 180g vinyl of Golden Hour that's up for preorder for $135. so there's that.

but then Homecoming was a 4 LP set that cost like $50 when I bought it

it does suck the joy out of an announcement though when the product feels so overpriced, I get that.

Not gonna lie... that cover is EVERYTHING

Both of them

Isn't Can I Watch You unreleased?

sorry i aint have my contacts in. i thought it was the reg tracklist + donk.

New vocals?

Who did that? You thinking Taylor? That was a re-record not an anniversary release

nnnnn i thought it was apart of the trend of anniversary albums. luckily no one check for t*ylor in the vocal dept.

if bey does it with 2026 vocals she may change the game all over again.

Why does there have to be anything new lmao? It's an anniversary edition not a brand new album. And no, many legacy acts don't add unreleased tracks to commemorate anniversary editions on streaming, CD and vinyl.

because a repackaging of the same album is a clear cash grab? we can all just go on any streaming app and play it for free, and its even still pressed on vinyl.

Plenty of artists release remasters of earlier records.

Fleetwood Mac, Bowie, The Beatles, The Cranberries, Dolly, Prince, and more have all released remastered versions of older albums.

No.

Multiple songs missing, price, DONK on the tracklist etc

MESS

Also tbf I don't even need new vocals on this edition, but I think remastering the production is a must

Can she post it on her socials

I get it

But the norm is not for an anniversary album to have a re-recording all the songs.

what're the missing songs?

Remaster does not mean new vocal recording of the songs
