…I was thinking about your album yesterday evening, LaLa…maybe the tracks were cut down because there were too many for a vinyl…?..I just can’t recall an album back in the vinyl day that would have had 27 tracks, so….mind you, some tracks are tiny, aren’t they….so I’m not sure, it was just a thought….

Possibly! The vinyl varies slightly from the CD too apparently with different intros/outros to tracks but idk, just what I've seen online.

One of the tracks that's missing, the fantastic "YA YA", is the only song on the whole album that actually mentions the words "Cowboy Carter" (it's not mentioned anywhere on the cover neither apart from a sticker on the outside - it was 100% definitely supposed to be "act ii: BEYINCE" until very recently, for whatever reason), which is leading people to believe that that song and the four others missing in that same "chunk" were recorded later and missed the pressings (I believe it's a very long process).

My vinyl arrived today anyway - it's great to finally have a copy in my hands!

24bit CD has better sound.

Japan BluSpecCD even better sound
Japan SHM CD even better sound
5.1 SACD Fantastic Multi-speaker sound.

I do buy some LP's that do not get a CD release
Copy them into 24bit sound
Sony CD Recorder.
Tascam CD Recorder Mastering.
