The deluxe red vinyl is a pressed on two records and plays at 45RPM. The gatefold spined sleeve (see image above) is die-cut at the front, and this comes with with four red transparencies to allow you to change the colour of the sleeve.
1. Colors
2. Seventh Heaven
3. I’m So Free
4. Dear Life
5. No Distraction
6. Dreams
7. Wow
8. Up All Night
9. Square One
10. Fix Me

@Paul – Is it looking like Amazon will. Not be stocking either of the vinyl versions of this release.
Anyone have any ideas for a decent stockist in the UK (not keen on ordering from Amazon france – a few bad experiences…).
Thank you in advance…
It’s available on What Records at 19.99 for the red vinyl and 39.99 for the deluxe version. Postage is 3.88

First of all, I’ve been a real fan of Beck, but the debut song, “Dear Life” with the enticing Beatle-like piano riff, is lyrically vague, repetitive and feels somewhat banal. Why is Beck holding on for ‘dear life’, without any explanation or insight for the listener? Is Beck now preferring to create a detached observation; a statement about feeling disconnected in the 21st century? Even the uninspiring album cover art (with the boring white framing) again cloaks his face like a mask with splashes of colour (or ‘color’, if you prefer) similar to the superimposed graphics over his photo-portrait for the cover of “Sea Change,” which IMO is still his masterpiece.
Check out the generic song titles too – especially from a guy who once titled a record ‘Stereopathetic Soulmanure’. Maybe it’s a rock music trivia game: how fast can you think of other songs with the exact same title?
I believe Target is the exclusive retailer for the ltd.ed.white vinyl version.

For what it’s worth there’s both a Barnes & Nobles and a Target exclusive pending, one of them is white vinyl, not sure about the other and even less certain than they’re available to non-Americans/overseas buyers.

This was supposed to be out a year ago, but for some reasons the release day was changed then dropped. I know because my wife tells me every day! Just release the damn album already.

I loved Morning Phase — thought it was the best thing he’d released in years, possibly all the way back to Sea Change. I hope this new album doesn’t disappoint.

Not all North Americans. We Canadians know how to spell ‘colours’.

Why do North Americans keep omitting the letter U from words ?
Google ‘Noah Webster’ (or look him up on Wikipedia). The dropping of the ‘u’ was a deliberate gesture around the time of American Independence, Washington etc. A piece of cultural cutting of the ties and a message to the UK (if my memory of history lessons serves!)
We stopped using the Queen’s when we stopped having a queen. Been about 241 years. When about 225 million of the 360 million English speakers worldwide speak American English as their primary, makes you wonder who’s actually right now.
For at least 120 million of those 225 million that you quote Nic, apologies if Nic is not to your liking Nic, anyhow back to your comment. At least 120 million of those 225 million have Spanish as their primary language. So U are wrong and 240 million of of Us are right. Please take this factual comment in the jest it was given, Peace & Love TFZA.
I did come off a bit snippy TFZA, sorry about that! No harm no foul, I did subtract the Spanish speakers from my total though and only used the people who speak English as their primary language :-)
Grew up in America but on the border with Canada, so all the educational programming I watched as a pre-schooler set me up for some rather upsetting confrontations when it came to school spelling tests.
And the U is cool. We have a history of doing stupid things to try and make ourselves seem more ‘merican. Freedom Fries still makes me want to punch someone in the face.
Thanks for the info Paul. Been waiting for this since I first heard ‘Dreams’…

Wow.
Not liking the UK Amazon price at all…

I think it will turn up on Amazon UK. Will keep everyone informed!
Thanks Paul. Much appreciated.
Cheers

Also Cheap Trick arguably missed out by naming their seminal release In Color versus In Colour
I like the concept of the cover design, but the white framing of the vinyl versions kills it…
Target US has an “exclusive” version with different colors (but no extra tracks): https://www.target.com/p/beck-colors-target-exclusive/-/A-52909309#lnk=sametab

Hur, hur, hur!
My message above is in acknowledgement of Gary C`s witticism.
In my first message `Volo camper` should of course been `Volvo camper`.
Although it’s a VW Camper.. :)

There’s a wonderful song titled “The English U” on Alison Moyet’s latest album.

If anyone wants to start a blog on the English language, please do so and continue this discussion there! ;)

In Colours? Because it looks stupid, too long and we say it differently.
The band name Living Colour would not have been anywhere near as cool as Living Color in my view. Great artistic decision there!

Wourds. There you go.
Not in Canada
Hmmm waiting for the UK Amazon links to go live…
