Kanye West Yeezus Vinyl Mock-Up Revealed
The art for Kanye West‘s 2013 album Yeezus is famously minimal—clear packaging, a CD, and a red strip. The album came out on CD, but never got an official vinyl release. A label is now saying that the idea for a Yeezus LP was floated at one point. LuckyMe—the Glasgow-based label that’s released music by Hudson Mohawke, TNGHT, Rustie, and Baauer—shared the above image. The label claims it was asked to “look into a vinyl spec” for the album years ago. In a comment on Instagram, LuckyMe notes that two mirror-backed inserts were put in place to hide prints by photographer Nick Knight. Earlier this year, Kanye said “the Yeezus packaging was an open casket to CDs” and said he won’t release his albums on CD ever again. The Life of Pablo hasn’t been released on vinyl, either, though bootleg copies surfaced earlier this year. Thanks to Bryce Segall for the tip.
