Frank Ocean releases first ever vinyl edition of Channel Orange

The revered and elusive American singer-songwriter’s widely praised debut album is available to purchase now.

Frank Ocean has announced the first ever vinyl edition of his debut studio album Channel Orange.

The revered and elusive American singer-songwriter’s Channel Orange originally released on digital and CD formats in 2012, garnering widespread critical acclaim that would come to encompass a prominent presence at the top of end of year album polls published by many music journalism outlets and multiple nominations at 2013’s 55th Annual Grammy Awards. Retrospectively considered by many as one of the most crucial R&B albums of its decade, Channel Orange featured creative contributions from the likes of André 3000, Earl Sweatshirt, John Mayer, Tyler, The Creator and Pharrell Williams.

The newly announced vinyl edition of Channel Orange is priced at $69 plus shipping and available to purchase exclusively from Ocean’s own Blonded website. The 2LP edition arrives with gatefold packaging and alternate artwork as seen above. Find further information here.
