2-3 years back I noticed it on DSP's. Next to your album, there suddenly was the I (Instrumentals); I (B-sides); The Stone, The Gun & The Book; and Mental Chambers 2-5. First 3 came with the cover style mentioned above. Had not seen that in the previous years.

Regarding the recut, dope. Looking forward to it. Has this been done before actually, because can't really find any information on somebody making a director's cut (for lack of a better term), of a music album. Only Kanye messed around with it during the release of The Life Of Pablo as far as I can recall. But that release was a mess to say the least, so calling it a director's cut would be severely overselling it. He also squandered the opportunity as an artist to make an organic album that would keep changing by adding content. Like with Games As A Service now, you should be able to do the same on Spotify.

Didn't vinyl sales just surpass CD? CD still sell though. Whatever physical medium you choose, what's the packaging going to be like? Standard, like a vinyl sleeve?
