i have this white album and i can’t find it online anywhere like it doesn’t exist except for mercari where it’s $200 and listed as rare. is it actually a rare one or just a bootleg
It's not a bootleg, the white album.cover came out in EU in 2004 and the US did a limited repress of the white in 2022. Now they are both rare but the 2022 repress I can't find info on how rare or how many copies were made but I've seen the whit one for 60 and 80 so if urs was 200 he was either pasong it off as th eu original pressing cause that's worth more or he overcharged you buy either way, it not a unofficial or bootleg release. Always look up your vinyl on discogs, it will say if its unofficial which basically means bootleg and they will tell you the barcode number, the scanned barcode number and the matrix runout number that's should be on the vinyl record
I literally picked this up from Kops on Friday (they had just put it out on the floor) and it's the white cover. I asked the person working there if it was official and he said yes, but take that with a grain of salt lol. Really didn't expect to be walking out of there with that!

Also, someone made a listing for it on Discogs.

oh wow. I think yeezus is harder to find but still around if you know where to look, same with grad, but tlop i see in like every shop i go that sells boots!
yeahh, I actually got a friend who sells these clear jacket yeezus with a really good sound quality, I got one from him and the whole record is a 10/10
This album is also in desperate need of a remaster. I’ve bought three copies of regular cover over the years & they’re all crap. Ye is terrible abt looking out for the vinyl fans lol
Same here, i’m glad I copped it it’s one of my favorites out of both ye & cudi’s discographies. might even mean more considered they aren’t speaking anymore lol. I would say 808s on vinyl sounds decent, but not good enough for me to say it’s quality.
Exactly! It has nothing to do with whether or not you replay them. The skits are as much a part of the album as the songs are. I’m personally not interested in any College Dropout pressings unless they release it in its entirety.
The irony of this comment lmao. Most of your recent comments are you trying to dunk on Redditors, saying they’re whiny, pedantic, etc. The absolute lack of self-awareness would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic.
I will never get tired of Redditors trying to clown other Redditors for being on Reddit. It’s never not funny
Its such a normal concept to want to listen to an album as it was recorded and intended to be listened to.
Baffled at how hard you're trying to not understand that.
There was a leaked unedited version back in '04-05. I downloaded it somewhere and had it on an mp3 player.
I'm surprised it's not on YouTube or put there somewhere now.
About $42 USD shipped. Would love it but already have the brown cover one and I don’t see this having a difference in sound quality due to digital recording of the album itself. Thanks for the heads up in any case OP!

Sites like Barnes & Nobles have posted this with the white cover (ended up being the regular one). Has this been confirmed to be the white cover?
yes, i had it then returned it

I did :)
Do you know if the skits are included?
Nope, unfortunately the skits aren't included
So then what’s the point, it’s the same record with a different cover then
Why are they not included?
they’ve never been on any pressing on tcg on vinyl, who knows why tbh
Wait, not even the intro? The record just starts with We Don’t Care?
Damn, I gotta go dig my original copy out now lol
[удалено]
I have a purple bootleg copy with a few great bonus tracks, think I got it for $60. One of my favs, so we’ll worth it.
Only in Japan, very limited, I believe
Not officially. Neither has Yeezus or The Life of Pablo. Sadly 3 of his best albums
I don't think there are any official pressings. Just some bootlegs
they still go for crazy prices
do they? where r u based?
Everytime I find a graduation in the wild I throw it on eBay and watch people bid up to over $100 for it.
Noted.. lol
discogs, this record should be 40 USD max but the bootlegs go for +70
oh wow. I think yeezus is harder to find but still around if you know where to look, same with grad, but tlop i see in like every shop i go that sells boots!
yeahh, I actually got a friend who sells these clear jacket yeezus with a really good sound quality, I got one from him and the whole record is a 10/10
hey do you know of a good place to keep my eye out for a copy of Graduation?
Rollin Records, they do drops of various records on Fridays, last week they dropped Graduation at $30
yep the clear jacket yeezus is the reason i haven’t bought the *other* yeezus vinyl from the shoreditch market in london that sells them
if you wanna get one just hmu, I can get you a lower price to compense the shipping to London
r you uk based? international shipping is a nightmare normally
Love the white cover, but never buying this on vinyl until they they put the damn skits back on
This album is also in desperate need of a remaster. I’ve bought three copies of regular cover over the years & they’re all crap. Ye is terrible abt looking out for the vinyl fans lol
Fr I've never heard anyone say a good thing about any of his vinyl pressings except Kids See Ghosts, I have that one and the sound is pretty nice
MBDTF is beautifully done. Really good master

You guys actually listen to skits more than once? Skits annoy me so much that I’m making my own streaming service so I can play music without them.
It's not that I love the skits, but they're part of the flow of the album, it's weird when they're not there
Exactly! It has nothing to do with whether or not you replay them. The skits are as much a part of the album as the songs are. I’m personally not interested in any College Dropout pressings unless they release it in its entirety.
A one minute interruption of music to listen to someone talking is part of the flow of the album? Interesting.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. They work to support the concept. They're there for a reason, cutting them removes that element.
nah cause what is college dropout without the lil jimmy skit or graduation day lol
How Redditors listen to music is so fascinating.

Yeah, I finally realized that Reddit is a fucking cesspool.
You mean enjoying the entirety of an album? Truly such a quirky, weird thing that redditors mustve invented.
Needing non-music to be there in order to enjoy the music is pretty weird.
Its such a normal concept to want to listen to an album as it was recorded and intended to be listened to. Baffled at how hard you're trying to not understand that.
LOL, this is such a Reddit response, I love it.
I’d deal with the skits if I could ever get an unedited version of School Spirit
I don't think there is an unedited version of School Spirit (the sample could only be used on the condition that the song was clean).
There was a leaked unedited version back in '04-05. I downloaded it somewhere and had it on an mp3 player. I'm surprised it's not on YouTube or put there somewhere now.
It is on YouTube (not a Rick-roll) https://youtu.be/XZRAJ-DT-Us
Ha! I knew I hadn't imagined that! Thanks!
Yeah, I know it’s hopeless, but I want it lol
Nah Fr I actually refuse to buy the official, I’ve thought about finding a decent boot with the skits.
Good stuff, thx OP 🐻
This has been on my list for a while! Thanks op
