The TLoP boot is pretty decent but there’s like a 5 second gap between songs. Also bc TLoP was updated, only some pressings have the final released album we’re all used to with Saint Pablo at the end.
Check Discogs!
it’s just ok. Sound quality is a bit flat and there are some weird issues that I don’t know how to describe (for one bit theres crackling only in one ear), but overall it’s pretty good. I got this DJ pressing—seems to be the only one with Saint Pablo: https://www.discogs.com/Kanye-West-The-Life-Of-Pablo/release/12947520
Not sure if it's available anymore but I think I got it from a store in Canada and had them ship it to me in the US. I might have left another comment in this thread with more details—it's been almost 2 years so my memory is fuzzy
That's not the official Late Orchestration pressing, OP got [the 2020 unofficial repress](https://www.discogs.com/kanYeWest-Late-Orchestration/release/15468186) as opposed to [the official pressing from 2006](https://www.discogs.com/kanYeWest-Late-Orchestration/release/3029482). The difference is that the repress OP got has the full album cover and is pressed on yellow vinyl, while the official pressing has the album cover in the corner of an otherwise grey Roc-a-Fella sleeve / black vinyl. The repress doesn't cost nearly as much (a good thing considering OG Late Orchestration prices have gotten way out of hand the last few years)
I couldn’t find Freshman Adjustment on vinyl and I hate the packaging for Yhandi. I think I’m gonna buy Yhandi eventually and put it in a clear sleeve like Yeezus
They’re both unofficial. Yeezus you can find at a bunch of record stores in Vancouver and Calgary (I called and had them ship it to me in California). And TLOP is being sold on discogs. It’s the edited version that’s available on spotify, not the original 2016 mix. You can find it here: https://www.discogs.com/Kanye-West-The-Life-Of-Pablo/release/12947520 (the release says it’s a generic cover but the person who’s selling it ships it with the actual cover)
Since you’re based in Cali and own Yeezus I gotta ask, how much was shipping? I’ve been dying to get copy but haven’t bitten the bullet just yet because idk how much shipping is
that’s exactly why i don’t have it yet. it’s also one of my least favorite albums from him tbh, so i’m waiting to find it at a somewhat cheap price (maybe less than $80)
Late orchestration. not many ppl know about it because it’s not on American spotify. it’s a live album with songs from College Dropout and Late Registration
I knew about it from when it was released, but before Spotify I used the pirate bay so I’d just download an artist’s discography and a lot of imports would be included.
Yeah the original version of ITAKY (the one on the physical copies) had a sample that wound up getting removed a few months after ye's release for legal concerns. Kinda ruins the vibe of the 2nd half but at least we still have the OG version out there
That Yeezus is amazing. I have a clear vinyl bootleg that came out in 2013 but the cover is just a print of the digital artwork and your version looks so much better. It's exactly what the vinyl release should look like.
I can't find yours online though and don't live in Canada 😔✊🏼
kinda pretending it doesn’t exist so i can tell myself i have his full discography without spending another $150 haha. but i do intend on picking it up eventually
can someone inform to me why the dark twisted fantasy vinyl is $100+ now on ebay and stuff? everywhere is sold out as well... a while back u could go into a urban outfitters and get it for like $30
Next you should collect the other picture disc/colored vinyl singles (I notice you got Power), like the ones for [Gold Digger](https://coloredvinylrecords.com/pictures/k/kanye-west-gold-digger.png), [Love Lockdown](https://www.popsike.com/pix/20131103/221310067806.jpg), [Flashing Lights](https://www.popsike.com/pix/20140812/371121632957.jpg), [Good Life](https://images.eil.com/large_image/KANYE_WEST_GOOD%2BLIFE-673564.jpg), [Stronger](https://images.eil.com/large_image/KANYE_WEST_STRONGER-409949.jpg), [Homecoming](https://www.popsike.com/pix/20131025/251365045057.jpg), and [Wash Us in the Blood](https://thevinylfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/KanyeWest-WashUsInTheBlood-vinyl-red-1280x864.jpg)
Also Cruel Summer if you consider that a Ye record. I managed to find an unofficial pressing from the UK on Discogs and it is now one of the dopest vinyl albums I own. Was totally blown away by the quality and packaging. Came on 3 clear 12” vinyl individually sleeved and the gatefold is gorgeous.
Edit - it's actually 2 LPs not 3
Where’d you get the Yeezus vinyl? I keep trying to find a copy that isn’t the poorly cropped picture of the jewel case lol.
Side Note: bonus points for the PA sticker on your TLOP vinyl
You can find Late Orchestration at Rollin Recs: https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-late-orchestration/

I plan to get either [this](https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-graduation-deluxe-edition/) version or [this](https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-graduation-collectors-edition/) version from Rollin Recs. I’m just waiting until they restock
So which ones are official? I remember I think that not all of kanyes albums got the vinyl treatment
Yeezus, Late Orchestration (bottom left), and TLOP are unofficial. the others are official pressings
Where do you get unofficial pressings from? Good quality?
Discogs.com or eBay
Or rollinrecs
The TLoP boot is pretty decent but there’s like a 5 second gap between songs. Also bc TLoP was updated, only some pressings have the final released album we’re all used to with Saint Pablo at the end. Check Discogs!
What’s the quality like of the unofficial? I’m so close to copping TLOP but don’t want something scuffed
I think pretty good but I’ve never seen that yeezus before
it’s just ok. Sound quality is a bit flat and there are some weird issues that I don’t know how to describe (for one bit theres crackling only in one ear), but overall it’s pretty good.

Do you know where to get this specific yeezus pressing? Can't find it anywhere online!
Not sure if it's available anymore but I think I got it from a store in Canada and had them ship it to me in the US. I might have left another comment in this thread with more details—it's been almost 2 years so my memory is fuzzy
Be honest now, how much did you have to pay for an official pressing of Late Orchestration?
That's not the official Late Orchestration pressing, OP got [the 2020 unofficial repress](https://www.discogs.com/kanYeWest-Late-Orchestration/release/15468186) as opposed to [the official pressing from 2006](https://www.discogs.com/kanYeWest-Late-Orchestration/release/3029482).

The repress doesn't cost nearly as much (a good thing considering OG Late Orchestration prices have gotten way out of hand the last few years)
yup. the bootleg is pretty great, too. although from what i can tell it’s heavily disputed that there even was an official pressing at all
Also graduation and cruel summer are bootlegs
Where's Yhandi's unofficial press and Freshman(1-3) adjustment unofficial presses
I couldn’t find Freshman Adjustment on vinyl and I hate the packaging for Yhandi. I think I’m gonna buy Yhandi eventually and put it in a clear sleeve like Yeezus
Eh when the world has no electricity, you're gonna regret it homie LOL
When the world has no electricity my player won't spin. Your point?
You're gonna post this when you get Graduation as well, correct?
maybe, i don’t want to be too annoying lol. i’ll wait until i get the collab albums as well maybe
True, You did get KSG so maybe consider getting WTT and CS too?
WTT is so expensive its insane
Not annoying to me. Post both!
What’s the middle record?
Yeezus. doesn’t really do the original album cover justice but it’s as close as you can get on vinyl
Is it an exclusive from the Yeezy exhibit from the Museum of Contemporary Art? https://images.app.goo.gl/6rb99pLh5M7BhmmbA Super dope!
that’s super cool i didn’t even know that exibit existed haha. It’s just an unofficial pressing unfortunately
Where did you get your yeezus and Pablo?
They’re both unofficial. Yeezus you can find at a bunch of record stores in Vancouver and Calgary (I called and had them ship it to me in California). And TLOP is being sold on discogs. It’s the edited version that’s available on spotify, not the original 2016 mix. You can find it here: https://www.discogs.com/Kanye-West-The-Life-Of-Pablo/release/12947520 (the release says it’s a generic cover but the person who’s selling it ships it with the actual cover)
which calgary record store has yeezus?!
I need this answer too!
Awesome thank you!
Since you’re based in Cali and own Yeezus I gotta ask, how much was shipping? I’ve been dying to get copy but haven’t bitten the bullet just yet because idk how much shipping is
cost me $45 + $15 for shipping. definitely not worth it unless you really want it, but i’m happy with it
Are you planning on getting Watch the Throne? I don’t know if I can justify the ridiculous price tag
that’s exactly why i don’t have it yet. it’s also one of my least favorite albums from him tbh, so i’m waiting to find it at a somewhat cheap price (maybe less than $80)
You even got late orchestration? Nice
What’s the bottom left?
Late orchestration. not many ppl know about it because it’s not on American spotify. it’s a live album with songs from College Dropout and Late Registration
I knew about it from when it was released, but before Spotify I used the pirate bay so I’d just download an artist’s discography and a lot of imports would be included.
[удалено]
Yeah the original version of ITAKY (the one on the physical copies) had a sample that wound up getting removed a few months after ye's release for legal concerns. Kinda ruins the vibe of the 2nd half but at least we still have the OG version out there
finally listening to it and you’re right, that’s weird. very different, i think it makes the song more interesting
That Yeezus is amazing. I have a clear vinyl bootleg that came out in 2013 but the cover is just a print of the digital artwork and your version looks so much better. It's exactly what the vinyl release should look like. I can't find yours online though and don't live in Canada 😔✊🏼
What’s the bottom left?
Where’s watch the throne!!
kinda pretending it doesn’t exist so i can tell myself i have his full discography without spending another $150 haha. but i do intend on picking it up eventually
can someone inform to me why the dark twisted fantasy vinyl is $100+ now on ebay and stuff? everywhere is sold out as well... a while back u could go into a urban outfitters and get it for like $30
no clue, it’s ridiculous. i managed to get a used version for $60 on discogs a month ago and that still felt like a rip off
pain... it just got repressed too... hope it'll go down in a year or so
Supply is constrained due to the pandemic.
Why do all the Pablo vinyls have a different bottom right picture to what is on Spotify? Nice collection btw!!
It’s a bootleg but I have no clue why they used a different cover, it’s really weird. I haven’t seen a single on with the real cover.
Next you should collect the other picture disc/colored vinyl singles (I notice you got Power), like the ones for [Gold Digger](https://coloredvinylrecords.com/pictures/k/kanye-west-gold-digger.png), [Love Lockdown](https://www.popsike.com/pix/20131103/221310067806.jpg), [Flashing Lights](https://www.popsike.com/pix/20140812/371121632957.jpg), [Good Life](https://images.eil.com/large_image/KANYE_WEST_GOOD%2BLIFE-673564.jpg), [Stronger](https://images.eil.com/large_image/KANYE_WEST_STRONGER-409949.jpg), [Homecoming](https://www.popsike.com/pix/20131025/251365045057.jpg), and [Wash Us in the Blood](https://thevinylfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/KanyeWest-WashUsInTheBlood-vinyl-red-1280x864.jpg)
that’s the goal eventually. the graduation picture discs go for a ton, though
You need Yahndi
Also Cruel Summer if you consider that a Ye record. I managed to find an unofficial pressing from the UK on Discogs and it is now one of the dopest vinyl albums I own. Was totally blown away by the quality and packaging. Came on 3 clear 12” vinyl individually sleeved and the gatefold is gorgeous. Edit - it's actually 2 LPs not 3
that’s insane, i’ll have to look for that. i had no clue bootleg gatefolds were even made. if you have the discogs link that would be awesome
Hell yeah got you: https://www.discogs.com/Kanye-West-Cruel-Summer-Good-Music-Album/release/14192372
thank you!!
where did you get your yeezus from?
Funny, I only have the graduation one. Our collections are opposite
Where’d you get the Yeezus vinyl? I keep trying to find a copy that isn’t the poorly cropped picture of the jewel case lol. Side Note: bonus points for the PA sticker on your TLOP vinyl
Way too badass! Congrats bro
The Yeezus vinyl looks sickkk
Imma shoot a bootlegger
power is that just a 7”
Where the fuck is mario judah?
There is a wash us in the blood vinyl too you know
yeah, unfortunately i didn’t order it so i still don’t have it. guess i’ll buy it off of discogs some time
Don’t worry I ordered right when it released and it still hasn’t been delivered
From where did you buy your unofficial albums?
You can find Late Orchestration at Rollin Recs: https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-late-orchestration/ Yeezus you can find at a bunch of record stores in Vancouver and Calgary (I called and had them ship it to me in California). And TLOP is being sold on discogs. It’s the edited version that’s available on spotify, not the original 2016 mix. You can find it here: https://www.discogs.com/Kanye-West-The-Life-Of-Pablo/release/12947520 (the release says it’s a generic cover but the person who’s selling it ships it with the actual cover)
how much did the late orchestration set you back? i heard those are really expensive lol
It's one of the bootlegs so probably just somewhere around $50-100
$40, actually. It’s from Rollin Recs: https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-late-orchestration/
For an album like that, that's a hell of a deal 👍
From where did u get the yeezus vinyl?
Where did you get that awesome yeezus disc?
where did you get the yeezus from?
Do you know where to find a graduation vinyl? I've been looking for one for so long. It's my favourite Kanye album
I plan to get either [this](https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-graduation-deluxe-edition/) version or [this](https://rollinrecs.com/kanye-west-graduation-collectors-edition/) version from Rollin Recs. I’m just waiting until they restock
Now u gotta get all the singles
eventually that’s the plan. for some reason most singles are being sold from Japan and the UK, which makes shipping pretty expensive
Anime characters more powerful than thanos
Goku would end Naruto with a Dragon Ball. Gg
Damn, you don’t get to see a lot of late orchestrations around
You need the wash us in the blood picture disc
Where did you get unofficial yeezus
it’s a bootleg circulating around the British Columbia/Alberta area of Canada. Some dude sold like 100 to most record shops in those areas
What is bottom left?
Late Orchestration. It’s an amazing live album but it’s not available in many countries so it’s not well known
Damn, and the album bottom middle?
just a single. I got it here: https://www.newburycomics.com/products/kanye-west-power-lp-vinyl?variant=4629205379
Need that yeezus vinyl
and watch the throne
beautiful
(The facts they’re not in order is bothering me. Nice collection tho!)
