Channel: Frank Ocean's Channel Orange vinyl, finally in an official pressing

The Channel collection at MTHOR Shop is dedicated to Frank Ocean's Channel Orange vinyl as a double LP, authenticated by our experts before shipping. Channel Orange, Frank Ocean's debut studio album, was released on 10 July 2012 on Def Jam Recordings, reached number 2 on the Billboard 200 in its first week and won the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album in 2013. Long absent from record shops in an official physical format, the album only got its official vinyl pressing in June 2025 through the artist's Blonded store, thirteen years after its release. At MTHOR, you buy an authentic Channel Orange vinyl with worldwide delivery and payment in 4 interest-free instalments.

The iconic pieces of the Channel collection

The centrepiece of the Channel collection is the Frank Ocean Channel Orange 2XLP Vinyl, a double album in a gatefold sleeve. The official 2025 edition features an alternative cover and a tracklist without the song "White", which sets it apart from the unofficial pressings that circulated for years. It includes the tracks that made the album's reputation: "Thinkin Bout You", Frank Ocean's highest-charting single, "Pyramids", a centrepiece of almost ten minutes, "Super Rich Kids" and "Pink Matter". For an R&B and hip-hop vinyl collector, Channel Orange as an official double LP is one of the most anticipated pieces of the decade, to be shelved alongside the vinyl editions of Blonde and Endless.

FAQ — Channel at MTHOR

How do you tell the official Channel Orange vinyl from a bootleg?

At MTHOR, every Channel Orange vinyl is checked before shipping: original shrink-wrap and seal intact, gatefold sleeve with the alternative cover of the Blonded edition, sharp printing without pixelation, centre labels and runout etchings matching the official 2025 pressing, and no "White" in the printed tracklist. Unofficial pressings, often recognisable by a standard cover and approximate printing, are rejected.

Is the Channel Orange vinyl delivered sealed?

Yes, the Channel Orange vinyl in the Channel collection is sold new, in its original shrink-wrap, and shipped with the MTHOR seal certifying the quality check. We never remove the shrink-wrap from a new record: the inspection covers the sleeve, the wrap, the labels and the visible references. The record is protected by rigid packaging designed for vinyl during transport.

What is the delivery time for a Frank Ocean vinyl?

We ship worldwide, with home delivery against signature within 2 to 8 days. You get real-time tracking by email and WhatsApp, whatever your destination.
