Blonded ships ‘Endless’ physical formats

11 - 0NQbdXO.jpg

After several months of production delays, copies of Frank Ocean's visual album Endless have been delivered in physical form.

VHS copies arrived in February and contained the same audio-visual component we saw on Apple Music. The CD, which arrived to some customers today, revealed a slightly altered mix with an official tracklisting which appears as follows:

  1. At Your Best (You Are Love)

  2. Alabama

  3. Mine

  4. Unity

  5. A Certain Way

  6. Comme Des Garçons

  7. Xenons

  8. Honeybaby

  9. Wither

  10. Hublots

  11. In Here Somewhere

  12. Slide On Me

  13. Sideways

  14. Florida

  15. Impietas + Deathwish

  16. Rushes

  17. Rushes To

  18. Higgs

  19. Mitsubishi Sony

Differences in the mix have been noted. Most obviously, "Device Control" has been removed from the beginning and end of the record. Furthermore, "Comme Des Garçons" features vocals by Rita Zebdi, who is credited on the visual album but has not previously been heard. "Higgs" and "Mitsubishi Sony" are both reportedly extended, but neither features new lyrics. The same goes with "Alabama" and "Hublots."
