Black Pumas has pressed a deluxe limited edition vinyl of their Grammy-nominated self-titled debut album exclusively for the band's biggest fans on Spotify—you!
This 2 LP colored vinyl set includes a bonus 7” in a gatefold jacket. It features the original album plus 11 bonus tracks, including three new unreleased originals; three live in-studio versions (“Colors,” “Oct 33,” “Confines”); a live version of “Know You Better” recorded at C-Boys Heart & Soul, the Austin club where the band first made a name for itself; and covers of the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” Death’s “Politicians in My Eyes,” Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City,” and Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” The package is updated with new artwork and contains unpublished in-studio and live photographs.
This Fan’s First pressing is limited to 1000 copies worldwide, pressed on an exclusive color and only available while supplies last.

So what happened to this?
Edit: seems the link is redirecting to trntbl now. It was this advertised thing where you could spend 5g and were promised the 200 most wanted records from the 2010s from discogs. I can't find any traces of that anymore

Nothing says "Fuck you for supporting us by buying our record upon release" as nicely as bringing out a deluxe variant half a year after release.
 
Me, when I started to buy records:
"I'm not going to variant collect anything other than Black Pumas and Durand Jones as they're my faves and relatively new."

Me, now:

And I actually like their cover of fast car a lot.
And could someone please reissue some tracy chapman on vinyl

The original 88 pressing of her debut album was fantastic and abundant so there are still loads of them in the wild. Its also a fantastic pressing, I can’t see how a modern pressing/remaster would be better. I think i paid £10-15 for a UK pressing on cogs.

Don’t own this album but would love to pick it up. I’m guessing this will sell out today huh?

it is limited to 1000 so good possibility it sells out in the next day or two. I was going to hold off for a bit to see if my local might stock a few here then got FOMOd into buying now. it's also up on reddit, so the secret is out before the Band even officially announced it. But hey, maybe they will have variants of this variant! 😂

Never ran across a copy in store or online in Germany. We only seem to get tons of james last records. Have not checked cogs I have to admit. I should do that.
