Are you a huge fan of Frank Ocean’s sophomore album and want to pick up a copy? Let's discover why it is so expensive!
Anticipation
Blonde vinyl's high cost stems from intense anticipation due to the success of his previous album Channel Orange, creating unprecedented demand overwhelming both physical and digital platforms.
Limited Edition
The weight of the demand and expectation for this new record was enormous, yet this demand was not met, leading to only limited availability of the record.
Reviews
Atop the already seething anticipation and the limited supply of the record, the official Blonde vinyl actually satiated the desires, not only of Frank Ocean fans but also the music industry at large.
When the official vinyl was announced it came with a notice that it would only be available for 24 hours and then would disappear for good.
24 Hours
When you take all of the factors previously mentioned into consideration, it is no surprise that the resale prices are through the roof.
Resale
The process of producing and pressing records is inherently more expensive tha, and certainly far more than the streaming of music files digitally.
