Endless (CD/LP Version) Tracklist
On Cyber Monday, November 27, 2017, blonded released Frank Ocean’s Endless in physical audio & visual formats, made available for purchase on their website, blonded.co. The limited, remastered reissue included an audio-only, 19-track CD & vinyl release of the visual album.
The audio-only tracklist reveals the previously unlisted tracks “Xenons” & “Mitsubishi-Sony,” and omits Wolfgang Tillmans’ opening performance of “Device Control” and its closing reprise. Additionally, some of the remastered tracks contain minor differences from their appearance in the music video; the outro of “Comme des Garçons” features vocals from Rita Zebdi, Ocean’s wardrobe stylist for the visual album, and the closing instrumental section of “Mitsubishi Sony” extends for 1:05 longer on the CD & LP than in the film. Altogether, the 45:52 visual album is abridged to 38:27 for the audio-only releases.
The CD is packaged alongside a DVD version of the visual album, inside a two-disc jewel case. The vinyl is packaged in a single-pocket jacket containing two LPs, each housed in a black sleeve with lyrics & images printed on either side. Music is engraved on the first side of each LP, while sides B & D feature laser etchings of artwork & track titles. Text on the front of both releases reads, “New improved full-dimensional stereo,” indicating a remastered audio experience compared to its original release, and “602557139785,” the catalog number & barcode of the reissue. Neither release is outwardly marked with copyright information nor branding.
The CD+DVD sold for $25.00, and the LP sold for $35.00; shipments for both items commenced in April 2018.
