New Björk album, Vulnicura, March 2015

Since they don't specify the colors but said they'd match with the artwork, I'll take a stab at guessing:

• Debut: tan/brown
• Post: pink (I believe the original UK issue was this color)
• Homogenic: some shade of blue, maybe? This is a tough one.
• Vespertine: white
• Medulla: another tough one. Really no idea.
• Volta: red
• Biophilia: afro orange

 

There are clues in the descriptions of the LPs on the OLI site.

Debut -beige
Post - pink
Homogenic - green
Vespertine - white
Medulla - brown
Volta - red
Biophilia - blue

Stole this from the Bjork forum! Didn't notice it myself in the descriptions at first. We'll see if it's correct.

And, the kids on the Bjork forum are already buying the whole set on impulse. I wonder how long I can hold off....

 

If Bjork put out a lavish box set with colored vinyl and a hardcover book, I would probably buy it. This seemed like a good chance to do it, with the MOMA retrospective, too.

 

Didn't notice it either. Debut also mentions silver and Volta also mentions neon green.

 

Agreed. A very nice box to go with these, and that book, would be fabulous. If anybody could do a well done boxset it would be her. Missed opportunity? Or maybe they don't know how well they'll sell to old fans? But her fans seem to have deep pockets. I'm just so mad I just ordered the other LPs I did...

 

Neon green would be cool!

 

Hoping they will have the vinyl for sale at the MOMA Store like they had the Kraftwork albums.

 

Another thing I'd like to see from Bjork at this point in her career: an odds-and-ends / b-sides collection (NOT including the myriad of remixes done of her work). A sort of Bjork "Past Masters" that collects Japan-only bonus tracks, one-offs, and other non-album tracks into one place.

 

Somebody posted these on the Bjork forum, apparently from her FB page. I like the bright colors!

 

Pink is perfect for Post, of course, but I was really expecting a silver or metallic blue type thing for Homogenic. All the rest make sense though.

Unsure whether to get these in colour (paying OLI prices) or wait for the black ones which I assume are not limited and will be available more widely. Greatest Hits (in the 200gm DMM) and Voltaic are the only Björk albums I have on vinyl (though I have Vulnicura on pre-order).

 

Yeah I'm not really crazy about the green for Homogenic either. I like your suggestions plus I think red could have worked too, since it's used as an accent color on Bjork's outfit for the cover. Doesn't really matter either way, I already a copy on black so I think I'll pass regardless.

 

Maybe one day Vulnicura on yellow vinyl.

 

Yeah you'd think they'd just go ahead and do it now.

 

I wonder why they didn't do a Vunlicura on colored to match the set. Unless they bring it out after we already buy the black. Lol I do agree that the green seems odd for Homogenic as well.

And. P.S. I broke down and bought the whole colored set. One Little Indian better pack those babies up for shipping carefully!

 

Thanks for the heads up, but coloured vinyl is not for me. I'd only be interested if they re-issued on 45rpm.

 

You need to track down copies of the DMM versions from a few years back, then. Those were all 45rpm and on 200g black vinyl.

 

Yeah, not so easy to find and not so cheap anymore unfortunately. I wasn't buying vinyl at the time of issue back then and missed out

 

I did too as I've been meaning to get her earlier records on vinyl. But the shipping costs to the US:

 

Yeah. I said i wouldn't buy because of shipping. But I rationalized it by it being less than the cost one one nice dinner out with drinks. Lol I'll have these for more than one night! So I clicked buy...

 

My reasoning is that Vespertine, my favorite Bjork album, will sound even better on white vinyl.

 

Just an FYI for others who haven't see it, someone made a thread about the colored reissues here.

But not all aspects of music today are better. I personally miss cd singles that had b-sides, remixes, live tracks like we had back then.

 

They have said that not all details of Vulincura have been announced yet. So maybe it will be coloured...

 

Apparently her vinyl pressings sound crappy. Any owners, can you confirm quality?

 

i have found the opposite...all my vinyl of hers sounds great.
