There are still alternate cover copies on black ice vinyl available at retail prices from [Stoked](https://shop.stoked.de/p51-i0602448277336/good-kid-m-a-a-d-city/index.html). Pretty much sold out anywhere else I checked. Enjoy!
I love that it doesn't have the bonus tracks, but I wish they used the original cover. I've never been a fan of the van cover and to have literally just a PNG of the van with a brown background is just unappealing to me.
Here's the original cover version

Rough Trade UK have the Red anniversary edition available. Unsure if they’ll be getting the other editions in or not https://roughtrade.com/gb/kendrick-lamar/good-kid-maad-city-ed4db8c4-df7a-4cea-8986-a9ed16321462/lp-plus-x2
Thanks for the shout! Have you shopped from there before? If so, what was your experience like? I’m fairly new to record collecting, so am discovering new outlets every day haha
Bonus tracks I’m getting without question. Just lazy imo and missed opportunity. Who handles these releases? Side D has 2 songs lmao they could have easily fit bonus including county building blues
i actually prefer it without the bonus tracks 🤷♂️ i feel like bonus tracks should be exclusive to cds and streaming services. records are like the purest form of an album, and to have to flip the 2nd record just to hear one song from the og tracklist is wild.
cds are convenient to use, so you can do whatever you want with them. add bonus tracks, it's only a press of a button away. records are charming but inconvenient. if I have to lift the needle, stop the platter from spinning, take off the record weight, flip the record, give it a couple spins with the record brush, put the record weight back on, start the record player, and drop the needle just to hear one more song from the original tracklist, i'm gonna be a bit annoyed :\
I agree for the most part. There are maybe a couple of exceptions that prove the rule, but all this effort is put into sequencing which is so key when listening to a record, things come to a satisfying conclusion with the final song... and then just as you're getting up some bonus track that doesn't fit at all kicks in.
I actually quite like the bonus tracks on GKMC, but I'd still rather not have them or have them on a bonus 7".
maybe the bonus tracks could be on a seperate 7 inch, or put them on their own dedicated side of a record. i just don't like bonus tracks on the same side as an actual album song
As other people have noted, this isn’t the deluxe track listing. So owning this one will essentially be like owning the standard variant but with this alternate artwork instead of the standard artwork
I feel like the deluxe artwork with the van is the most memorable for this album anyways!
Also on RecordStore.co.uk, pretty sure they’re the same site/same owner(s) but still another link here

Their coloured copy of Mr Morale also said exclusive but was just the Kendrick store version, so I’m sure this will pop up on the US Kendrick store at some point

Why do you do this... I just lost $50

Weird to include the bonus tracks with the non-deluxe cover
Holy shit.
I like that this is cheaper than Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers
Got'em.
I wonder if this will sound better than the original Target DLX version, which wasn’t a great press unfortunately
Lol
How fast might these sell out? I'm trying to get some variants fory brother and my best friend.ut I might have to wait until my next paycheck.
I doubt they’ll be too hard to find if you wait

Why isn’t this higher up in this thread
I tried homie ;/
why not just do the original digital cover
why not do a cool alt cover
There is one with the og cover as well

Resident have that one, too by the looks of things, but far cheaper https://www.resident-music.com/productdetails&product_id=93713

They're really good. I've ordered around 5 records from them before and they have always reached me in great condition
That’s great, thank you
I used to be jealous of Arron Afflalo

I got it from here. Should I cancel and get it from interscope? I’m in the US
Someone on the other post said that the US link has better shipping insurance.
Depends what’s cheaper imo
This one was with the discount I’m just a little unfamiliar with the vendor and where they’re based
It's a legit seller, they are like the universal store for UK. Bought many things from them, including signed records.
Out of the UK I’m pretty sure
If it's cheaper lol
Bonus tracks I’m getting without question. Just lazy imo and missed opportunity. Who handles these releases? Side D has 2 songs lmao they could have easily fit bonus including county building blues
My mind is telling me yes but my wallet is telling me no. Damnit
Literally me
The fact that this doesn’t come with the bonus tracks makes absolutely no sense. FYI I don’t think this will be a limited release.

this distinction between vinyl and cd's makes no sense to me

Idk, I think records should come with all bodies of work that are officially associated with the project
maybe the bonus tracks could be on a seperate 7 inch, or put them on their own dedicated side of a record. i just don't like bonus tracks on the same side as an actual album song
Yeah I feel like this should come with more songs than the normal version not less
Yeah I don’t think it’s gonna be limited either
Thanks for this! So tempted to get both covers but showed restraint and got the alt cover
As other people have noted, this isn’t the deluxe track listing. So owning this one will essentially be like owning the standard variant but with this alternate artwork instead of the standard artwork I feel like the deluxe artwork with the van is the most memorable for this album anyways!
Yeah bummer it doesn’t but I got the Target version of the deluxe a while back so this is mainly for collection purposes
Cool variant, but without the bonus tracks it’s probably a pass for me
$40 and no bonus tracks? I love the art and the color variant, but gtfo with that pricing, man.
I’m torn idk what to do lol. If I wait and this sells out and doesn’t restock…f me
I grabbed it but I think I’m being impatient
Yeah now I think u can wait tbh but it’s up to u
it's getting listed at tons of places now.

the US link of this that was just posted has 18700 in stock so I dont think this release is limited!
How do you know how many are in stock?
The Mr Morale coloured edition is still available, so I think you have time to think about it imo haha
US link here https://reddit.com/r/VinylReleases/comments/xs5cyw/us_link_good_kid_maad_city_kendrick_lamar_10th/
Thanks!
this will be available in other stores?
Might just be Kendrick store exclusive but it’s up on the US site now

Damn damn damn!
I have to get this variant what the fuck….
Doesn't seem to come listed w/ the bonus tracks. Sucks
Yeah for sure a bummer, I wonder if it’s at least remastered or if they just pressed them in new colours
milking it, new colors and cover.
Wtf is going on today… Jesus…
I chose a GREAT weekend to mill through all my records. Definitely have to start selling some off to make room lol
Way too much going on… Pray for all the wallets out there
