Kevin Abstract, release an "ARIZONA BABY" vinyl
The Issue
Many fans of BROCKHAMPTON, myself included, love physical copies of albums. While there are many different reasons, a large majority of the fanbase shares the commonality.
For years we waited for both Kevin Abstract and BROCKHAMPTON vinyl + CDs, with there always been the promise of "we're working on it". We did gain some success with Kevin Abstract's 2016 solo album "American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story" on a limited CD, along with BROCKHAMPTON's "SATURATION Trilogy + Drafts" in a limited CD box, but we didn't truly see a big leap until they signed with RCA Records in early 2018.
With the release of their 4th studio album "iridescence", we saw a limited cassette copy and a mass-produced, mass-distributed batch of vinyl. Many fans were, and still are, ecstatic about there being an "iridescence" vinyl. Moving forward, it was hoped that future projects would follow a similar wave (albeit including CDs).
Then, in April of 2019, Kevin Abstract released his *second* studio album (rip MTV1987) "ARIZONA BABY" through three chunks throughout the month. The album, spanning 11 tracks and 32 minutes, is an amazingly beautiful piece of art detailing fame, heartbreak, and more. Released by RCA under Kevin's contract with BROCKHAMPTON, it was surprisingly kept as a digital-only release. The only merch for the album was clothing, with no form of a physical album appearing.
The boy-band has since moved onto starting to promote their new group album "GINGER", leaving "ARIZONA BABY" in the dust with no tour, barely any post-album promo, and most importantly, no vinyl (or other physical variants)
We ask that Kevin, BROCKHAMPTON, & RCA reconsider the decision for there to not be a vinyl edition of this beautiful album. Even if it's only limited edition, it would still be better then having none at all.
