Also, I'd like to raise the point that surely the streaming cover is still the official cover? We didn't switch out our Blonde covers because he also inverted the colour on the Vinyl edition. Thoughts?

Differences between Film & Physical

Thread

  • "Alabama" has instrumental/synth additions to its outro

  • "Comme des Garçons" features additional vocals from Rita Zebdi, Frank's stylist. Her vocals were always credited but seemingly cut from the film.

  • "Hublots" has additional hums in the intro and acoustic additions to its outro

  • "Impietas" vocals have been tweaked (?)

  • "Rushes To" has a minor additional noise added at the 1:25 mark

  • "Higgs" has an extended outro

  • "Mitsubishi Sony" has an extended instrumental outro

  • "Device Control" has been removed



Shipping Info

Shipping Megathread for all discussion about shipping, confirmations, received merchandise etc.



Merchandise Problems

[Endless Vinyl Problems Megathread] (https://www.reddit.com/r/FrankOcean/comments/8cs8ex/endless_vinyl_problems_megathread/) for all discussion about problems with Endless merchandise.

Contact FameHouse immediately at help@fhcustomercare.com or blonded@fhcustomercare.com

Can you please send us at least two pictures of the damaged item? In your response, could you also include which action you would like to be taken to rectify this? We can either have the damaged product reshipped if stock permits, or we can refund you for the damaged items.



FAQ
Does this mean Endless is coming to streaming services?

Unfortunately, we haven't a clue. Frank does as he pleases.

How much were the items?

Vinyl Record - $35
CD + DVD - $25
VHS - $17.99
Poster 1 - $30
Poster 2 - $30

What do CDQ, FLAC & ALAC mean?

CDQ is an inappropriately used acronym for Compact Disc Quality.

A compact disc is generally the best resource consumers have to procure untouched and high quality digital representations of a master recording. These can be ripped in a number of ways in a number of different formats (MP3, M4A, WMA, etc.). These are all lossy formats that compress and cut out data from the digital representation of the record.

Lossless formats (FLAC, ALAC, WAV, etc) do not lose any data from the input. You can still use compression, but these formats only arrange the data differently to save space. No data is actually removed.

You can transcode an MP3 to FLAC, but that is not lossless audio. Lossless audio comes from the best possible source (in this case, the Endless CDs) and is directly encoded to the lossless format of your choice.

The best digital file you could have (short of the files bounced from a DAW, I suppose) would be ripped directly from a CD in a lossless format.

- /u/curbsideaudio

Can you actually hear the difference between 320 and FLAC/ALAC?

Most likely, no.

What album art is displayed when the CD is played on a laptop?

Details unknown. Do CDs even encode album art?

What is on the VHS?

The same video first uploaded to Apple Music in 2016. Altered credits.

What is on the DVD?

The same video first uploaded to Apple Music in 2016. No menu screen. Altered credits.

How much does the Vinyl weigh sealed?

Approx. 532g

Why "46 minutes of 120 hours in the life of Frank Ocean" when the rip is only around 38 mins?

Device Control would take up the remaining minutes.

What is "Walk Away"?

"Walk Away" is a track listed in the VHS & DVD Credits
Seems to be the last 18 seconds of "Hublots", after the skit, where the track changes and Frank (evidently) sings "walk away".

Why does the Vinyl Lyric Sheet have lyrics for Hublots under In Here Somewhere?

Hublots second verse begins "I know you're in here somewhere" so whoever complied the vinyl lyrics must've assumed incorrectly.
We know this because the CD splits them up as such, with In Here Somewhere only being an instrumental, and also Jazmine Sullivan has singing credits on Hublots, according to all credits.

How do I upload Endless to Spotify / download to my Spotify mobile?

Official guide. (Requires mp3 files.)
If cover art isn't showing, likely that it isn't properly there in the metadata.

What is the number (602557139785) on the front of the Vinyl?

The Universal Product Code.
This replaced the placeholder "Endless" in Morse Code, that was seen on the promotional images on blonded.co

Are the stickers on the front of the merch removable?

No.

Did /u/celtics_r_the_best's order really get cancelled?

Long story short, no.
Looks like it did and they rectified the mistake, though. Fuck Tiffany.
(Original Thread)

Did the photoshopped images make Frank ship out the merch?

Obviously.

Funny how you write download links and then its just gibberish 😏 Of course download links wouldn't be allowed due to copyright reasons /u/theteej_

level 2

Anyone else having problems with the mp3 version?

Playing them in my finder, some cut off at the end, and if I add it to my iCloud library for Apple Music, every song won't make it to the end and just cut out.

Could someone upload the DVD version in mp4 or m4a, please? Want to use it on my iPhone but it doesn’t support the format of the existing rip

Please correct me if I’m wrong (I’m not an avid Frank follower, but still a fan), this is not on Spotify right? Will it be though?

And what’s the thing with having 2 Endless, being one from 2016?

level 2

Nah, Endless isn't on Spotify and I honestly doubt it will be unfortionately.

I still reccomend you find it though because it's fucking amazing. It's on apple music, but you can find it somewhere else, I actually found a free download link here on this subreddit which is how I have it.

I think the vinyl is basically a redux of the original from 2016, don't think there are any major differences but I'm not sure cuz I don't own the vinyl.

level 1

thanks so much for this!

i really didn’t want 2 unseal my bby vinyl </3

level 1

In Hublots he sings 'I know you're in here somewhere" but the NEXT instrumental track is called in here somewhere.. are you sure that this is correct?

level 2
Original Poster8 points · 1 year ago

Yep, that's how the CD splits them. Also Jazmine Sullivan has singing credits on Hublots, according to all credits. So whoever complied the vinyl lyrics must've assumed incorrectly.

level 1

When I download the MP3, it doesn’t have Comme des Garçons. Just me? Anyone else experiencing?

level 1

I know we had to wait too damn long for the merch, but can we at least all appreciate Famehouse's decision to ship it all (besides posters/VHS) at roughly the same time? It was agony waiting for my Blonde vinyl last year while people on this sub a full 1-2 months ahead of me.

level 1

Is it possible to make the Streaming Cover (with colourful stickers) to 1920x1080?

level 2

that’s not a square

level 1

My CD & DVD just arrived!! my friend got his today as well, so happy!!! (from Israel)

level 1

Does anyone know why Rushes doesn't have the lyrics on the vinyl sheet?

level 2

Even Frank don't know what tf he said

level 1

would anyone be able to reupload the vinyl cover with colorful stickers? when i click on the link i see the streaming cover instead
