Beyoncé is putting out a second Cowboy Carter vinyl, however, this time around all of the album’s songs are included. The singer issued a “limited edition” double LP vinyl back in March – packaged in an exclusive cover sleeve of her holding a cigar – but that copy left off five songs from the album that appeared on the digital edition: “Ya Ya,” “Flamenco,” “Spaghetti,” “Oh Louisiana” and “The Linda Martell Show.”
She’s now returned with another vinyl, which is being branded as the “official” version. Neither the singer nor her team ever addressed why the $40 USD limited edition version failed to include a good chunk of the album. The missing songs could also be the reason that the vinyl never sold out – it’s still up for grabs on Beyoncé’s website, along with partnering retailers.
The updated vinyl, which uses the same cover art as the digital version, is also a two-vinyl set but is more expensive than the limited edition at $60 USD, which winds up coming out to around $80 USD with taxes and shipping.
Frustrated fans who had already bought the limited edition version took to the comment section of Beyoncé’s post to lament that they’d have to buy the new vinyl to play Cowboy Carter in full.
